    In "Wipeout," when a missile is homing in on you, you are filled with a sense of dread and impending doom. In Drome Racers you just can’t help thinking “oh well, never mind”, which sums it up nicely.

    Another promising game struck down by execution. [Jan 2003, p.96]

    A good, non-violent, racing game for children this Christmas season, but if you are an older gamer, it will not prove to be that much of a challenge to you.

    It would have been nice to say that the uninspired design and presentation of Drome Racers are offset by some superbly executed gameplay, but such is not the case.

    There just isn't anything exciting about controlling these nondescript racers. [Jan 2003, p.78]

    A handful of neat fire and particle special effects can’t hide the fluctuating frame-rate, generic track design and lack of originality that permanently doom Drome Racers to PS2 inconsequentiality.

    Drome Racers could have been a okay game. I like the sci-fi approach and the design of the corses, but the handling feels awful: it's notDrome Racers could have been a okay game. I like the sci-fi approach and the design of the corses, but the handling feels awful: it's not precise, you lose the control over the buggies all the time and don't even know why. Ior me, as I draw a lot of fun just out of the handling of controlling vehicles, this one doesn't feel good at all. And all of the others aspects of the game, the tournaments, weapons, Ai, tracks, are okay, but if the core of the game isn't good, don't help any more.… Expand
