    Fantastic arcade racing game. Reminds me of the classic Sega arcade games like Outrun, Daytona and Virtua racing. The action is fast and frantic. One of the best games this generation.

    Un juego de carreras arcade muy divertido. Me recuerda a la época de Ridge racer y Daytona USA. Derrapar es un placer en este juego. Muy recomendable.

    Es un juego hecho para generar nostalgia en el público gracias a su apartado visual y sus diseños poligonales muy atractivos. Es muy rejugable y tiene modos de juego muy entretenidos como para pasar horas jugando de manera local hasta con cuatro amigos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Callback to the 90s era arcade racers. You know what to expect, if you don't like arcade racers this isn't for you.… Expand

    You can't ask for more. The only diferent between this, and Daytona 2, is that one is signed by Sega.

    Great arcade style racing game, three difficulties and about 20 tracks and loads of cars, smooth, fast gameplay, excellent drifting, but pretty basic. Fill your boost meter by drifting or slipstreaming, then use it a few times per race, that's it, no shortcuts, levelling up cars or much else.
    Overall a great arcade game, but a little short on the competitions, there's only 5 GP's of 4    Great arcade style racing game, three difficulties and about 20 tracks and loads of cars, smooth, fast gameplay, excellent drifting, but pretty basic. Fill your boost meter by drifting or slipstreaming, then use it a few times per race, that's it, no shortcuts, levelling up cars or much else.
    Overall a great arcade game, but a little short on the competitions, there's only 5 GP's of 4 tracks each, so if you come last in the first race, for example, it's pretty difficult to then finish top overall.

    Difficulty is fine, there's 3 skill levels and each GP is harder than the last. The person who said it's too easy is clearly lying and the one who said it's too difficult did say 'as usual' implying they're crap at games in general, so they can be safely ignored.    … Expand

    Hotshot Racing is a great retro racing game inspired by the 90's classics like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA or Scud Race with tons of fun, especially in its multiplayer modes, only overshadowed by slightly disappointing AI.

    Hotshot Racing feels like a nice throwback to the arcade era, back when SEGA was dominating with the likes of Daytona USA. The game is clearly retro in its gameplay, and it's quite refreshing to be able to escape the current trend of hardcore sims.

    High on speed and low on polygons, Hotshot Racing is a super-saturated, old-school ode to the golden era of early ’90s 3D racers. Drawing oodles of inspiration from acclaimed coin-op kings like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, and Ridge Racer, Hotshot Racing is confident, quick, and boasts a cracking arcade handling model, although its tracks are mostly simple and cause it to quickly lose a bit of steam as a single-player experience.
