A great game. It's simple gameplay will take you back to the old school days of pure gaming goodness.
-
A highly playable and very fast arcade racer.
-
Perhaps the most impressive visual aspect to Downforce is the games split-screen multiplayer mode which stays extremely quick, with no loss in quality, framerate or objects on-screen.
-
80They’ve ditched realistic racing for a straight-forward adrenaline rush where amazing vehicular explosions are your reward spectacularly bad driving.
-
78A wonderful ode to the old school racing games of yesteryear and fans of the racing genre will be quite pleased and entertained by its intensity.
-
77As for the actual game playing, this game keeps a F1 games physics, and gives you a sometimes unforgiving difficulty.
-
72It's a very fun game to play, but there really isn't much to it. You'll likely finish the game in a few hours.
-
71While it may not dazzle the graphic hounds with its barely cel-shaded cars and detail light backgrounds, the furious pacing and easy-to-handle controls should more than compensate.
-
The bonus stunt mode is cool, but Downforce ultimately lacks depth. [July 2002, p.83]
-
The learning curve for Downforce is about 2 hours – within that time, most people should have figured out the nuances of the hairpin turns and how to contact other cars to spin them out.
-
The fun is over too soon.
-
While Downforce does not run very deep, it does run fast, furious, and most importantly, fun.
-
68An incredibly short racing game featuring spectacular crashes and cunning AI, but an alarmingly few cars, no tweakable vehicles, and few track variations.
-
Jaw-dropping crashes cannot an entire game carry, however. While passable handling provides for a mildly entertaining play experience, it's an incredibly short affair.
-
60Recommendable brain-dead fun provided those buying/renting it know what they’re getting themselves into: fictitious F1-like racing antics with believability and care thrown out the proverbial window.
-
If you're looking for a pure racing experience, you can't go wrong with Downforce. [May 2002, p.55]
-
50A competent, but decidedly average racing game.
-
Its boring tracks make you feel more like you're racing around a generic airport terminal with fancy backdrops than actually IN the exotic locales. [June 2002, p.97]
