    Most realistic racing sim on a console, a lot better than Forza. Really addictive and enjoyable to play with varied cars and tracks. Hope they keep the series going with Race Pro 2. If you love racing games you will love this.

    The first attempt at a racing sim for the 360.
    People bashing this game wants arcaderacing games and there are plenty out there, this one is for the simulator crowd, its not the prettiest, the menus are simple but effective, and there are still some bugs left.
    But on the track this one is superb, the best one yet for a console, superbly handling cars and fast ai.
    Almost as good as race    07 for the pc.
    In simming the pc still rules but this one is VERY good.    … Collapse

    This is a solid simulator game with a few bugs that need to be ironed out. You can't compare this to a game like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue or Forza Motorsport 2, they are still arcade games in nature, you've got to actually work on your driving technique and be willing to put time into this game to get the most out of it. It's certainly not for everyone, but if you can look past the few flaws you'll find a rewardingly challenging game.… Expand

    not the best game to look at!
    but, by far, the best racing game to play.
    from the feel of each car to the bumps of the track, this game feels great.
    put it into first person, use the wheel and its as near to driving as you can get on the xbox.
    again, no the graphics aren't the best but if you arwe looking at the back drops that much you are not playing the game properly......and t    his is why you are not getting it!… Expand

    Absolutely fantastc! - This game has the best driving physics on a console to date, a decent variety of race classes, and the most realistic track recreatings I've seen on any Racing simulator. All in all, fantastic Job, I did not think Simbin would pull it off, but they have just upped the bar for console racers. Forza feels like an arcade racer compared to this. The tuning options are just as you would see in Race 07 or GTR Evo. BrianH does not know what he;s talking about… Expand

    Although the graphics are not the greatest (-1), the gameplay more than makes up for it. If you like pure simulator racing, this is for you. If you are more into arcade racing, then maybe not. Never have I played a more exciting race sim on XBox 360. Well done SimBin!

    Fantastic racing sim, but this will not appeal to the masses. If you're a huge racing fan, pick this up immediately - it's easily the best racing sim ever to grace a console. However, casual racing fans may be turned off by this game's bare bones presentation and unforgiving physics model. Definitely worth a shot if you take any interest in racing.

    RACE Pro has compelling racing mechanics when it is just you versus the track, but it has more than a few rough patches elsewhere.

    Its monk-like devotion to pure racing simulation is remarkable...and kind of a turn-off for the rest of us. [Feb 2009, p.80]

    Ultimately, if you can put up with the fact that it's aesthetically rough around the edges, you're unlikely to find a more viscerally rewarding racing experience than RACE Pro. [Feb 2009, p.78]
