    Although it doesn't have any intention to reinvent racing games, mastering all the aspects of the competitions takes some time and dedication, weeks of enjoyment steering this virtual racing cars. Recommended for beginners and for racing games fans waiting for a more purist game.

    Everyone who's looking for a nice racing game, without spending too much time in learning how to play it, will be glad. Those who are expecting a serious challenge with strong realism influences will get bored soon.

    Superstars V8 Racing is a decent and, at times, surprisingly pretty racer, and while it's never going to blow GRID's graphics or Race Pro's handling out of the water, it does conjure up happy memories of classic Codies TOCA games. Here's hoping by next year, Milestone has mastered the art of a more immersive career mode.

    V8 Racing is actually quite fun to play, although it is deeply flawed.

    Superstars V8 Racing isn't a game for veteran race fans but it drives well enough to please casual gamers. The game is however light on modes and the intelligence of your opponents is poor.

    Mediocre - not through technical incompetence but simply an absence of enthusiasm. [Sept 2009, p.88]

    SuperStars V8 is a total shame, under any point of view: a copy/paste of SBK, without the important license, with typical problems of the other game and a couple more brand new, strictly connected to gameplay. With Forza 3, Shift, Gran Turismo and DiRT 2 on the way of the release and a huge offer among recent releases and old masterpieces (Burnout, Project Gotham 3, Forza 2, RACE Pro…) the question is easy: why, V8? It's up to you to find an answer.

    The game is ok. Just the car is not attractive enough.
