A cool failure of a game – Earn to Die Review

I want to like this game, I really do but it has one huge issue. It requires no skill... it's gives you the options to upgrade your car but after playing it for awhile I realized that beyond controlling how fast my car drives there is virtually nothing I can do to strategize. I would try to coast down hills or de accelerate while flying thru air but it literally made no difference in gas consumption. I think literally when you first move the car on the course it starts a timer for your fuel tank... there is no way to conserve. Also, I really liked the car options they gave but learned very quickly you have to upgrade every couple of maps. They make the cars so utterly ineffective that your forced to keep upgrading. I guess what I'm saying is there is very little strategy to be employed and very few (beyond cosmetic) choices you can actually make. I liked everything about the game except for the actual lack of gameplay. Leaving me wondering what's the point of this? It's not really a game to me, just someone holding a gas pedal. This game could have been great...
