If you're looking for a racing game where robots punch each other you might be hard pressed to do better. There are better looking and more detailed mech sims, but the fast pace and fun might win you over.
There are gobs of customization options for each of your squad (and lord knows you'll need 'em), but there's not much variety to the goings on, and the whole Grand Prix affair won't take you much more than 8 hours or so. Multiplayer offers some extended usage, but not enough to keep it a long-term rotation.
While IGPX isn't quite as shallow as previous anime offerings from Namco Bandai, only hardcore fans of the series will find themselves playing much past a few hours. [Oct. 2006, p.83]
Tons of potentials here, but spoiled by overly simplistic controls and horribly sluggish frame rates.
It's not easy to make a good combat racer, even with all the mechs in the world, as this game so sorely points out. [Nov. 2006, p.80]
Obviously, there's nothing really new here. Although you have arms which you can use to punch out other robots and slam their heads' into the track as you drive, it's not very interesting as a fighting title. It also can't compare to the carnage in other violent racing games, such as one of the Burnout titles.
For a game that is part racing and part fighting, the fact that the only real racing is the last ten seconds of each “race” really is a downer.
