Cons
Con Not available on Android anymore
PC only via Steam.
Con Gameplay is too short
The content of the games lasts about 5 hours, which could be easily done in one sitting.
Con Not free
Con Controls on touchscreen are not that good
Driving can be pretty difficult with the touch screen controls, though there are two different settings, so one may work better than the other.
Con Not an original game
While not a con for everybody, this game has virtually nothing new about it. It was originally launched for the PSP (PlayStation Personal) and Nintendo DS (dual screen - new generation of GameBoy). The tutorial is borrowed from the PSP version, while it retains the mini games from the DS version.
