  • Summary: The fun starts with 24 licensed high-voltage vehicles from famous makers like Audi, BMW, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Lancia, and Ford. Players then race through three-lap circuits of snow, desert, or jungle landscapes, sliding through dusty roads, slipping on ice, and shredding through foliage. The competition really heats up on the open road though, as six cars try to muscle into prime position, wreaking havoc on their way to the finish line. Within each track are "Shox Zones" where players are awarded Bronze, Silver, and Gold placements based on their driving skills. Earning Gold in all three Shox Zones on a single track unlocks a new night circuit. Players can also put up their own cars as collateral in head-to-head Gambling Mode to collect the ultimate off-road vehicle collection. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    Requires a bit of fancy powersliding, but it feels a lot more natural and comfortable here than it does in other games - the controls really respond well.

    Most importantly, Shox offers an exhilarating sense of speed which, in the end, is what draws many of us to racing games in the first place.
  3. GameSpy

    The interesting Shox Zone system and impressive list of unlockables make it one of the more addictive arcade driving games available.
  4. Game Informer

    The physics are so over-the-top and the steering so loose that the races are essentially one big power slide. [Nov 2002, p.128]
