Auto Modellista

"Capcom’s beautiful racer burns up the track with its awesome graphics and sweet customization. Unfortunately, the paltry number of tracks and subpar racing only helps the pretty colors fade."

"If you enjoyed Gran Turismo 3, then you'll more than likely enjoy Auto Modellista. The gameplay between the two games is quite similar in that you need to have precise timing on your brakes and you need to be aware of what your car is actually capable of. Unfortunately, there are no powerslides like those found in Ridge Racer or Daytona USA, which may be disappointing to those expecting gameplay of that type."

"Auto Modellista has a fantastic look, but its gameplay unsuccessfully tries to straddle the line between simulation-style tuning options and arcade-style handling and collision physics."

"All tolled, Auto Modellista is a fun ride. Don't expect the simulation oriented experience of Gran Turismo, or the super-arcade drifting of Ridge Racer...expect a middle ground...an incredible looking racing game with minimal tuning options, but closer to real life driving than the strange world that Ridge Racer takes place on...you know, the one where hot looking women get dressed up leave their apartments hoping to get picked up by drivers in the middle of a race."

"...in theory, the presence of human opponents should take up a lot of the slack in the game's difficulty curve. If nothing else, this is a beautiful arcade racer, and despite our misgivings about the ease of some of its career mode, it should be worth more than a few spins around the block."
