Drag x Drive Reviews
A lack of flair and features drag down this otherwise satisfying sports title.
Drag x Drive offers engaging, fast-paced sports action with a reasonable assortment of single-player challenges in addition to online matches. The control scheme, while imperfect, is better than expected, although the ergonomics leave something to be desired. While the game might have benefited from a bit more content, there's plenty of fun to be had.
Without more variety or meaningful rewards, it's a multiplayer experience that only feels worthwhile at a discount.

Available at a budget price, Drag x Drive is a unique sports game that doesn't boast a great deal of content. Still, it's fun to play as long as you can get along with using your Joy-Cons like mice, though performing some advanced manoeuvres can feel a little hit or miss.
Under ideal circumstances this is a fun and engaging competitive game that lacks a bit in the character department.

Drag x Drive is a smart way of putting the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con to good use with clever, fluid mouse control in a futuristic wheelchair basketball setting. With a unique setup and a fairly steep learning curve, it may not appeal to everyone, though. Once controls become second nature, there is satisfying competitive fun to be had. Drag x Drive does offer good value for the asking price, but there is a lingering feeling of needing more to flesh out the overall experience.
Drag x Drive left me with a very positive impression. I came in with doubts about its controls and ended up surprised by how precise, fun, and addictive it can be to play with the Joy-Con 2 as if they were a mouse. Online matches are the most exciting part, especially with voice chat, and while it demands coordination and physical endurance, that only adds to the experience. With an affordable price and a concept you won't find anywhere else, I believe it's one of those exclusives every Nintendo Switch 2 owner should try.

Drag x Drive surprises with its concept and controls, but disappoints in content, variety, and design. A missed opportunity that only works well when played online with friends with similar skill.

Drag X Drive is a title that stands out for its love of different sports. The game encourages you to practice and be creative to score as many points as possible, rewarding you for every step of your learning process. It is lovingly designed, but its hardware prevents it from shining as brightly as it could in terms of control. Even so, I can't think of a better title to highlight the new Joy-Con 2 feature.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Drag x Drive but it certainly isn't for everyone. With its unique and tactile controls and gameplay that's great fun to master, I wish there was more to it to really flesh out its clever concept. 🏀
Drag X Drive is another game that exudes classic "Nintendo vibes." This means that the title offers an entirely different type of gameplay than you are used to, thanks to the Joy-Cons, which represent the movement of the right and left hands controlling a wheelchair in the sport of wheelchair basketball. Although the title doesn't offer much content, which isn't compensated for by the otherwise entertaining training challenges, and the Joy-Con registration isn't always perfect, the game can make you really want to learn all the tricks that the otherwise rich movement system offers.

Drag x Drive is a game of two halves - a brilliant showcase of new tech and Nintendo’s willingness to try something different but it’s wrapped in a rather dull package.
Drag x Drive is the kind of game only Nintendo would make: bold, accessible, and unlike anything else. It showcases how the Joy-Con 2 can be used creatively and guarantees good laughs online with friends. However, it lacks the depth and personality to establish itself as a sports classic. It’s fun, but it almost plays like a “premium tech demo” for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons.

Despite the limited content, the gameplay is fun, well-optimized, and unique within the Switch 2 catalog.

Drag x Drive delivers fast, flashy fun in short bursts, but it runs out of steam quickly. The gameplay is fresh and exciting, yet the lack of depth and content makes it hard to stick with for the long haul. Flat visuals and weak sound design do little to elevate the experience.
Though Drag x Drive smartly uses wheelchair basketball to showcase the Nintendo Switch 2’s mouse feature—matching the motions and spotlighting an underrepresented sport—its drab palette, scant content, and fleeting novelty keep it from rising above gimmick status and make it easy to tire of.

Drag x Drive is a failed experiment from Nintendo. Once again, we get an innovative but significantly flawed project that will ultimately remain just a strange curiosity. The title stands out with its well-designed and immersive controls, but then doesn’t let us truly enjoy them. The focus on multiplayer gameplay, given such repetitive and limited content, was a huge mistake.

Drag x Drive transforms wheelchair basketball into a precise, fast-paced challenge on Nintendo Switch 2.
Drag x Drive is an original offering that showcases the potential of the Joy-Con 2 controllers and their mouse function, while providing intense gaming moments, especially online. However, its limited content, minimalist aesthetics, and certain technical constraints prevent it from fully convincing over time. While fun for a few sessions, it struggles to establish itself as a must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2, especially since there are already plenty of more interesting choices available on the console.

Drag x Drive is a strange concept built to take advantage of the new Joy-Con capabilities, and while it can still be fun, it has little to offer.
