"Phenomenal controls and addictive gameplay are the crux of Aeon Drive. This is a very good speedrunning game that I wish did more to draw in a certain crowd, but it&s;ll please the devoted all the same."

"It does have a multiplayer option and online leaderboards for each stage, so if competitive speed running is your thing, Aeon Drive delivers. For me, it&s;s an interesting curio that I&s;m glad I played, but won&s;t be returning to often."
