Evolution GT is very nearly the dictionary definition of the solid and unspectacular racing game, but it somehow manages to be more than the sum of its parts.

Minor niggles prevent this being a serious challenger to "Grand Turismo" and "TOCA," but the features that do work make it worth a spin. [June 2006, p.86]

If you play the game honestly, however, it's a challenging and rewarding experience with plenty of longevity and replay value.

It may not look like much, but for a budget-priced game, Corvette Evolution GT actually offers enough enjoyable racing to make it worth a look.

The awful dubbing of Gabriele Tarquini's voice, the daft ideas and the whole CARPG levelling up converge into one not very good driving experience. [Issue 141, p.106]

Games Master UK
Evo GT looks lovely, the handling is improved and there's a certain Italian charm about the whole shebang. "GT4" it certainly ain't, though. [July 2006, p.84]

PSM2 Magazine UK
Evolution GT has little atmosphere, little polish, little sense of speed and little reason to exist - especially in a world with "Gran Turismo" and "Toca" already in it. [July 2006, p.76]

For some reason, the simulation of the psychological effects was given plenty of influence when they really should have been ignored. Much like this game itself.

Nice graphics and so far no slow down. Very addictive as your cars get better. Stick with the game for a while, it will grow on you.
