Please don't think this is one of those games you can just pick up as you go along. It isn't. Trust me... This is work. [Nov 2003, p.144]

A great fill-in during the lockout. [June 2005, p.98]

As with any game that crams a ton of different types of games, the selection is pretty uneven--the racing games, for example, well and truly suck--but there are enough standouts to keep you coming back to the minigames once you've beaten the main game. [Jan. 2007, p.78]

When it comes to baserunning, controlling one runner works fine; any more it's a mess. [May 2006, p.82]

It's pretty elementary and it won't take you very long, but at $20 it's a good starter option for the young race fans in your life, who should get quite a few hours of enjoyment from it. [Feb 2005, p.83]

Easily the best compilation of quality classics ever seen on a console. [Feb 2002, p.108]
