Obviously not complete
But the premise and action could be good. I actually liked the control of the car and was surprised by the change of pace with the cinema/mission. There is potential here.

Pretty cool
I like the concept. The car feels a little unrealistic while driving. A crashing animation when you crash would be good instead of the immediate jump to game over. It needs some indicator about who you are (maybe a big arrow or make the car flash a little at the beginning). Some simple instructions would also be a nice touch.
There's something to improve!
The game is not bad but you have to work on it. For example the control of the car should be more plausible even if not realistic; however I like the car sliding. Also the impact with setting and cars is too simple; moreover you crash into the cars even if you are simply near them. The last thing is the graphic, too simple and with only a few elements. After some work it could become a nice game!

"please comment on how it could be improved."
Here are a few points that I feel should be improved:
> Car controls feel abnormal. That isn't good in a game like this. These should be optimized and should be your #1 priority to prefect this before finishing your game. I can't stress that enough.
> The music at the start is quite generic and low quality, and on top of that it doesn't loop. I would suggest getting different music. Also, the second music doesn't loop at all.
> There isn't really any challange, besides the danger of running into the occasional car or two. All you have to do is get to the green arrow, which occasionally doesn't work (if you drive into the arrow nothing happens).
> Hit boxes feel weird, I was driving by a green car and it said I crashed. Hit boxes seem abnormally large.
> Graphics could be better, static images like that don't give that much of a feel for a game. Rotating tires would make the game seem faster.
I rated 5/10 because it is still unfinished, however if you were to release the game with it still looking like this I would most certainly rate it a zero.
I hope I helped.

how could the steering be improved. sharper turning?
