    Smash Cars can be pretty fun on a basic level, with good track design, responsive controls, a speedy framerate and lots of air to catch being the highlights. However, there isn't a whole lot of content to be found in the initial release as it's pretty clear that stuff was held back for future DLC.

    Racing these speedy little cars can be fun, but Smash Cars is disappointingly light on content.

    Smash Cars is ultimately an underwhelming experience. The game looks good and is simple to play but there is nothing exciting or innovative about the title.

    It’s obvious based on the menus within the game that Smash Cars will be further fleshed out with new DLC areas to race in, but at this point it feels paper thin.

    Smash Cars on PSN is a solid and playable game but offers little more than all the other racing games out there. The lack och split screen and the neverending trick frenzy, that can be frustrating at times, make this game a mellow experience that is barely worth its price. Too bad, since it could have been against an adversary in the same couch.

    A game that's best left on the digital shelf. [Issue#184, p.85]

    I really enjoyed this game. I've been playing it since the day it released and I still haven't unlocked all of the tracks. There I really enjoyed this game.

It's quite challenging and I really love the idea of R/C car games. It is pretty hard to let go of the controller. Also to be able to customize your car in different ways before heading out to the track is also a plus.… Expand

Maybe it is a bit limited in terms of game modes and options in general, but the gameplay compensates that by far; mastering it is not an easy task. Besides, the price made it a very good option for mini racing games fans.… Expand

    There is some fun to be had with this game, but overall Smash Cars is pretty lackluster.
