Maluch Racer is a game produced and published by Play Publishing on August 25, 2003 only in Poland. The game was a commercial success and is one of the most recognizable Polish productions in Poland.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The intro is quite poor, the vehicle animations are poorly made and also slow, you can immediately see a low budget here.
 * 2) Terrible graphics for 2003, textures are quite low resolution, models are quite angular and some models are literally sprites. Even Need for Speed III, released 5 years earlier, has better graphics than this game.
 * 3) The artificial intelligence is almost non-existent, the opponents are driving blindly, ignoring their surroundings, which means that they often block on the routes and can block the path, making it difficult for the player to complete the route and win the race at the same time.
 * 4) Very weak level design, which is not adapted to the vehicle the player is controlling, often the routes are very thin, making it difficult to control the vehicle and cause the vehicle to get stuck, and sometimes they are so counteracted that it is difficult to enter a given part of the map and the player will get stuck. stumble over barriers making gameplay frustrating.
 * 5) Very poor physics, for example when vehicles collide with each other, one vehicle pushes the other one over a long distance, making it difficult for the player to control the vehicle, so sometimes the player literally loses control of the vehicle.
 * 6) Very stiff and unresponsive steering, especially when turning, the vehicle very often turns too much, which makes it quite often stumble over various obstacles and walls, making this game almost unplayable.
 * 7) Instead of a map in the interface, the game has a green arrow that can fail some players, causing the player to drive there and in looking for the correct path.
 * 8) Never, when changing a car for a better one, the opponents will not change to faster and smarter ones, so compared to the player's vehicle they will be slower and less agile, so they will have absolutely no chance, which means that the gameplay will be easier and easier. goes more and more boring.
 * 9) The game has a lot of bugs, for example cars can stick into each other or walls, or they can get stuck.
 * 10) The game is quite short, you can finish it in just half an hour.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack is decent.
 * 2) The game has an extensive vehicle selection menu, where you can choose all kinds of vehicles, it's just a pity that the same cannot be said about the maps.
