GTI Club + Rally Cote D'Azur

Those who have been waiting for this port can relax. However, Konami has done little to improve on what is still a winning formula. [Christmas 2008, p.103]

It's a game fundamentally incapable of not running you down now and then, but the clarity of control and aspiration give wry subtext to its rightful claim to "high definition".

If you want variety you'll likely grow tired of GTI Club+'s relatively meager content, but if you're someone who can spend days perfecting a single lap and fancy a bit of no nonsense arcade multiplayer gaming, look no further.

Sure, there’s no damage modeling, the crash physics are nonsense and the graphics won’t bother Polyphony - but this isn’t the point: GTI Club+ rewards continuous play with a perfectly pitched learning curve: your laps will get quicker every time until you’re in that Wipeout-esque zone, chicaning between traffic and drifting around corners without even thinking.

For those moments in which you want doses of immediate races and guaranteed satisfaction Gti Club + reveals itself competent and it could be a good choice to add to a Christmas list, particularly tempting for its price of 12 € at the PS Store.

GTI Club+ is a fairly fun arcade racer that's short on content. As it is, fans of the genre will probably like what's here, but after a bit you can't help but wish there was more to it. Still, give it a go if you like old-school arcade racers.

Fans of the original arcade version will get a kick out of playing this PlayStation Network racer, but a steep price and limited replay value limit its longevity.

Brilliant in its day, but not enough to hold your attention for long. [Christmas 2008, p.84]

Throwaway fun. [Christmas 2008, p.117]

Easily accessible arcade action, with hilarious multiplayer modes. Doesn't captivate the player for much longer than a few hours though, but it's fun while it lasts.
