Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
BREAK ARTS II is a unique fast-paced mecha racing game with an EXTREMELY intuitive customization system and some decently engaging gameplay.
30 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The technical side is arguably its greatest weakness: saying optimization could use work is an understatement, as even with most "extra" graphics settings turned down, on a reasonably well-performing machine, getting a stable 60fps during a race was quite a rare occurrence.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Good news is that the music has a separate volume slider in the options so you can turn it off and still hear the sound effects and voices in the game.

Just starting up the race, feeling that awesome music pumping through my headphones, seeing the interface boot up, "YOU'RE AN ARTIST: IMAGINE"...

Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
i think a rubber banding would make for a better experience. just make it if a CPU racer is just supremely ahead slow them down somehow.
