R: Racing Evolution

"...we were taken aback by the lack of filtering. The name 'Evolution' is almost ironic because the graphic presentation -- overflowing with jaggies and shimmering -- looks damn close to a first-generation PlayStation 2 game. Yes -- even on Nintendo's console. The good news is that the fluidity is solid at 60 frames per second."

"...I'll get almost any racing game that has real cars, decent physics and a good amount of tracks. R: Racing Evolution does have all those, but it's not going to light your world on fire like a Gran Turismo 4, Project Gotham Racing 2 or even the ricey-but-fun Need for Speed Underground."

However, the realistic AI, wonderfully stylish presentation, and overall fun to be had with R: Racing more than make up for any shortcomings. All of this together makes R: Racing Evolution an innovative and exciting racing experience.

"With options and handling that push the edge of the triple-A titles, this series may be able to apply some pressure despite navigating a few speed bumps along the way."

"R attempts to deliver some simulation-styled thrills, but the driving physics and options simply aren't up to snuff when compared to other, better games."
