100Excellent A.I, sharp graphics, and addictive gameplay combine for an unabashed good time. Sim freaks need not applyRumble Racing is pure, unapologetic arcade goodness.
-
90The true star of the game is its speed. Never before in a racing game has the feeling of cruising at over 100 MPH been so perfectly conveyed.
-
It's the trick system that makes all the difference. [June 2001, p.98]
-
88It's arguable that the speed you get with the Elite class cars is comparable or even a cut above the breakneck speeds offered by the top of the line vehicles in any of the "Wipeout" titles on PlayStation.
-
88Inventive and exciting with its flaws safely buried in the adrenaline rush.
-
88Besides the abundance of car wrecking weapons, the most entertaining aspect of Rumble Racing is that the vehicles, including the trucks, can do mid-air tricks. Every time you perform a barrel roll or misty flip its impossible not to raise a cheeky smile.
-
85Looks good, moves fast, and is a blast to play, either by yourself or with a friend.
-
Rumble Racing really is all about pin-your-noggin-to-the-headrest-and-flatten-your-cheeks speed.
-
85Indeed, the cheesy southern rock 'n' redneck country tunes can get annoying after a while, and the smart-ass remarks made by the play-by-play commentator tend to repeat more often than not, but it hardly detracts from the overall, seat-of-your-pants racing.
-
The best arcade racer weve played so far and EA certainly seems to be developing quite a respectable name for its Big games.
-
Rumble Racing is one fast game redrawing the graphics on the screen at roughly 60 frames-per-second (twice that of television) so those with a need for speed should strap in for a ride.
-
It is a kick, though, and has an easy learning curve for beginners while delivering challange and depth for more experienced gamers.
-
80There arent many games more extreme than this crazed, balls-to-the wall stock-car racer.
-
A highly enjoyable game. The learning curve is tough without becoming impossible, and races never seem out of reach to win even if you keep coming up just short.
-
71In the long run, I'd suggest that you pass this game by and save your money for one of the hotter releases later this season.
-
70The car sounds are just a bit bland with hardly any exciting over the top effects. The announcer is quite a smartass but not really in a funny way.
-
70Its like playing with Hot Wheels when youve grown up with Matchbox racers. Variety aside, theres not much in the way of style.
