Critic Reviews

90 TotalGames.net
Faithful fans will have a good solid game in their collections with six new tracks and an unthinkable amount of extra horsepower to play with.
83 Absolute Playstation
It may not appeal to the hard core arcade racing fans out there, but for the more simulation minded gamers out there that appreciate a touch of arcade action, this title is sure to please.
73 Gamezilla!
The tracks were all so well-designed that if the control was better, it would have overshadowed the poor graphics and the pitiful-looking cars.
73 GameSpot
The PlayStation's slickest racer yet, with its mix of realistic locales, superior graphics, and fast cars.
60 IGN
All the right elements are there - cool cars, inventive tracks, decent control - but the execution has been seriously flawed by poor graphics and frame rate.
