When I turned it back on, a lot of the software had gone missing. Including this one. I just don't have the inclination of downloading it all over again. Though, if someone can tell me where in my phone the previous download can be traced and reinstalled, maybe I could try the game again.

The first problem is that this game is 8.something megabytes. <i><b>8 mb!</b></i> That takes a while to download. And apart from the large file size, I'm generally reluctant to download anything via the <i>Ovi Store</i>, because it has the annoying habit to crash suddenly. Well, this case was no exception. After reaching 92%, the <i>Store</i> displayed <i>Download failed</i>. With manic determination, I hit on <i>Download</i> again. This time, after downloading, it displayed <i>Installing</i>, and after a while, <i>Installation Failed</i>, which pretty much sucked donkey a**. So I exited the <i>Store</i>, deleted the incomplete installation file from <i>Installation Files</i>, and went on living my normal life.

In this game, making custom tracks (actually the entire "online mode") is locked out in North America (so this game is only good in Europe only). Coupled with late releases, late firwmare updates, crappy support, it's almost like Nokia actually WANTS it's shrunk North American market share to get even smaller. I think this phone had a lot of potential, but it was obviously not designed for the NAM market. And hence I'll be weary of going down the Nokia route again when it's time for an upgrade.
