    Horrible game. Plays terribly. Makes me cry looking at it, and don't even get me started on the steering.

    All the NEED to KNOW text (the part where they tell you about STEAM) has been squeezed down to 1,5 x 4 cm in the lower left side on the back cover. Needles to say, I didn't spot it. And STEAM doesn't work with VISTA. So I got a $70 game I can't use for anything. Probably a nice game tough....

    Average handling. Awful sound. Graphics a quite good, but the croud look pretty average.

    Lengthy installation process that requires Steam before install, internet connection and loads of downloading to update to 'latest version', hours of installation and still unable to run game, what happened to games which would install from the CD? Don't waste your money.

    Disappointing game by SimBin who made those great ones like GTR/GTR2 & GTL. The car control doesn't give me a good feedback, so it's hard to find the limits.The need to use the steam platform makes it also terrible for modem users. But the biggest betrayel ever is the price politics around this game. Very disappointing! Looking forward for the first Blimey game.

    I allow myself to paste and copy my review for Race 07: "What the heck is this? RACE is barely playable. Tracks are terrible and car handling is just... just... I don't have a word that's not a swear to describe it. This game could be good back in 2006 but now it's just rubbish."

    While there's still a decent driving model underneath, it's hard to see RACE appealing to fans who've driven Simbin's other titles, and so, this time at least, the hare comes out on top. [Jan 2007, p.87]

    There are times when - beaten by twitchy analogue controls, insufficient feedback and maybe just a sheer lack of hardcore skills - it can feel like a dispassionate sim rather than an affecting, involving game. [Jan 2007, p.90]

    While it's nowhere near as theatrical as "GTR2," there's a solid core of tight, exciting racing and impressive physics here. [Jan 2007, p.56]
