Some menus with pictures. The infant can learn them by heart.
Additional costs ?
Many optional cosmetic items are available for purchase in the game’s virtual store. When you play socially in community, you always want a car different from the others, more original, more innovative, so some players do not hesitate to pay to get the accessory or banner of their choice. The game has 2 virtual currencies.
The game has a “Rocket Pass” that has the same operation as the Battle Pass of Fortnite. The operation of monetization is very similar to that of Fortnite. More details in the article “Fortnite’s Strategies to Make You Spend”.

The game is enjoyable to play with the controller, even for beginners. However professional players have a unique mastery of the vehicle and the game does not explain how to get to this point.
