    Horrible game. Plays terribly. Makes me cry looking at it, and don't even get me started on the steering.

    All the NEED to KNOW text (the part where they tell you about STEAM) has been squeezed down to 1,5 x 4 cm in the lower left side on the back cover. Needles to say, I didn't spot it. And STEAM doesn't work with VISTA. So I got a $70 game I can't use for anything. Probably a nice game tough....

    Average handling. Awful sound. Graphics a quite good, but the croud look pretty average.

    Lengthy installation process that requires Steam before install, internet connection and loads of downloading to update to 'latest version', hours of installation and still unable to run game, what happened to games which would install from the CD? Don't waste your money.

    Disappointing game by SimBin who made those great ones like GTR/GTR2 & GTL. The car control doesn't give me a good feedback, so it's hard to find the limits.The need to use the steam platform makes it also terrible for modem users. But the biggest betrayel ever is the price politics around this game. Very disappointing! Looking forward for the first Blimey game.

    I've bought it second hand used. Steam software/platform update online is very slow, and it seem to reset the download at any time. I've a 256K broadband connection & the update downloading only adavanced 10% for about an hour! Worst of all it won't let you know how big the download size is going to be, it's like broadband internet is all free of charge. Should have just let people create a Steam user account & check for validity of the CD-keys first before asking people to update the Steam program. Total waste of people's time, how could a copy-protection software goes over 150 MB in size?! Maybe behind it all there are advertisements to other games for sale in the market! It's no longer about copy-protections, it's about driving people up the wall! Go to hell with Steam!… Expand

    While there's still a decent driving model underneath, it's hard to see RACE appealing to fans who've driven Simbin's other titles, and so, this time at least, the hare comes out on top. [Jan 2007, p.87]

    There are times when - beaten by twitchy analogue controls, insufficient feedback and maybe just a sheer lack of hardcore skills - it can feel like a dispassionate sim rather than an affecting, involving game. [Jan 2007, p.90]

    While it's nowhere near as theatrical as "GTR2," there's a solid core of tight, exciting racing and impressive physics here. [Jan 2007, p.56]
