    By far the best racing game I’ve ever played on a console.

    Not only the best PS2 dirt racer to ever turn a wheel, it's also the finest game of its type on any platform -- console or PC.

    [Its] combination of great racing, beautiful graphics, and fun multiplayer make it one of the best racing simulations on the market.

    The part that really pulled me into Sprint Cars, though, is the very cool Career mode...It's a solid little game. [Apr 2002, p.107]

    A very solid effort from developer Ratbag, falling short of greatness due to the fact that it just seems too bland and simple.

    Good, but is targeted at a very, very specific type of gamer, and you could be left wanting more if you don’t fall into that niche.

    It's a strange, narrowly focused kind of racing that's enjoyable, but you've got to be completely dedicated to like this kind of sim experience.

    This is a game that is aimed directly at sprint car racing fans. As such, the developmental focus was clearly on the gameplay, seemingly at the expense of the audio and visual aspects of the game.

    The racing is very detailed but without being a hardcore fan it can come off a bit too repetitive.

    This game, from a sprintcar fanatic, is great. It is true that the audio needed some work, but other than that its a good game. The only part I disagreed with emencely, was the fact that if your aiming at sprintcar fanatics like myself, why put the few imaginary arcade tracks on the game at the expense of a more expansive array of real tracks, that could be used to expand the career mode options and the amount of tracks available to race on. However saying that its still a great game.… Full Review »

    Very realistic. A bit of a niche game but much appreciated by sprint car fans. Career mode is unique and a great challenge. Drawbacks are small number of tracks (should include pavement) and weak audio. Must have for fans of open wheel racing.… Full Review »
