    Car models and framerates are superb, and some of the courses look great, but overally, you could be forgiven for thinking you'd turned on your PS2. [Jan 2004, p.60]

    It looks fantastic! But it plays just ok. There's nothing in the gameplay that jumps out at me and says "play me for months".

    It tries to offer a few unique features that sets it apart and they are good but it does not propel the title in the same league of recent racing titles.
  4. Game Over Online

    A fairly entertaining game for the duration of the racing life mode, mostly because of the impressive pre-rendered sequences, but if you’re looking for a racing game with the simulation style goodness of "MotoGP," or the frenetic action of "Ridge Racer," you’d be well advised to look elsewhere.
