Superstars V8 Racing is a nice surprise, a good game with great visuals, that let you play in your own style, arcade or highly simulative. Unfortunately there are some flaws, like the handling, actually a little bit broken, and the usual game modes.

Superstars V8 Racing is a good game with a lot of detail for realism. There are enough races and cars available to entertain you for a while. However, due to the lack of game modes, the game doesn't achieve the status it could have reached.

Superstars V8 Racing is a good game with a lot of detail for realism, but it lacks any spark to make it stand out in the face of competition.

It's all about racing in Superstars V8, and that's exactly why there is a lack of game modes. If you’re looking for such a game and you don't expect much more, then Superstars V8 Racing is certainly made for you. But for most of us its probably a bit to simple.

Games Master UK

A competent racer with good looks, but it lacks any spark to make it stand out in the face of competition. [July 2009, p.83]

PSM3 Magazine UK

It doesn't make you feel as involved as GRID or feel half as realistic as GT5: Prologue. [July 2009, p.77]

Play UK

More than anything else it falls foul of not offering enough weight in terms of gameplay modes and AI challenge. [Issue#181, p.84]

Gamer.nl

Superstars V8 Racing isn't a game for veteran race fans but it drives well enough to please casual gamers. The game is however light on modes and the intelligence of your opponents is poor.

Meristation

V8 Superstars Racing is a game with several flaws in every aspect. Visually it's an average game, without many interesting features. Its gameplay is strange, illogical when it comes to driving and with a physics engine that is not fair with players. It's a game to forget.

Rich S. gave it an8:
It's a great stab at getting back to when TOCA was great, ok it's a series even I (racing fan) had not heard of, but it works.... Admittedly the 4x4 audis are easier to handle, but the M3's and 550's are also good, if a little tail happy. All in all, it's a good racer, more on the realistic side, and not easy - but fun.
