Critic Reviews

60 VideoGamer
A fairly well-paced, but fairly unadventurous racing game.
60 Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
Lacks the spark of passion or layer of imagination that would have made it stand out. [May 2008, p.107]
50 EuroGamer
With 12 tracks, each of which can be raced in reverse, it's a relatively small package that, other than its licence, is lacking in any sort of interesting game design to mark it out. With a budget price tag it's an inoffensive proposition but, don't expect to return to it when your battery runs out.
40 Gamer.nl
Most race fans won't enjoy themselves much by playing this game. The controls of the Vehicles in Off Road are good, but the races are simply too boring to keep playing.
40 Pocket Gamer UK
A truly forgettable driving game that neither offers the intensity of a true sim or the fun and thrills of an arcade racer.
32 PSM3 Magazine UK
Courses so unmemorable your'e still looking for turns on the third or fourth lap. [May 2008, p.81]
