    AiRace: Xeno seems like it should be DLC for prior AiRace games, but at the same time it's priced as such, so I really can't complain about that.

    AiRace Xeno is rather short on content, but what little is here delivers a real punch.

    AiRace Xeno doesn't do anything we haven't seen before, but it's a finely-crafted time-attack racer that's well worth the low price for fans of sci-fi racing, with luscious visuals and a bumpin' soundtrack.

    A fun, gorgeous, and well put-together space racer that, despite lacking features, is an absolute bargain for those who take to it.

    Those new to the series should strap in and hold on tight - it’s one heck of a wild ride - but AiRace veterans might want to let this one stay in the pits.

    A (relatively) speedy time trial title that may satisfy racing fans for a while, but hardly a precision-engineered gem. [Sept 2014, p.90]

    For its short ambitions, AiRace Xeno delivers…But beyond Time Trials and online leader-boards, there’s very little else this sequel provides. While there are some clear improvements over the original and this game manages to pull the 3DS graphical capabilities very well, the borderline is drawn very close to the starting point and perfectly in line with its very light price tag.

    AiRace Xeno could have been something special. The core idea of the game is fantastic and it’s a blast to pilot an aircraft an incredible speeds, but it’s ultimately a fleeting experience that’s confined to its limited features.
