    A textbook case of the gameplay taking a backseat to the graphics... Auto Modellista's biggest problem is still the poor control.

    The original "Ridge Racer" on PSOne had better control than Auto Modellista. The biggest problem with the game is the utter lack of traction that these cars have. [June 2003, p.28]

The car selection is great, the OST is good and the unique cartoon visuals are excellent. The problem with Automodellista is the handling that can be quite loose, this happens only in the U.S Tuned release, so my best advice to enjoy the ultimate automodellista experience is to play the original european or the japanese release.
