Gameplay

Critical reception

IGN gave the game a 7.0 out of 10 because of the Euro-style layout and good soundtrack.[3]

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "The only place Ultimate Race Pro chokes is in variety. With only four tracks and the arena available, there's not really a whole lot to do. Overall, however, this is a great experience for all PC race drivers."[4]

Reviews
gollark: Generally, I think my things should do what I want and not enforce artificial lockouts on things, randomly break unrepairably, report data back to whoever, run unauditable proprietary software, or do weird stuff in the background.
gollark: Oh, and if I remember right all Teslas are constantly connected over the mobile network to Tesla and can refuse to work if you don't do software updates.
gollark: * one model of car, I mean
gollark: They also had a perfect* and flawless** design where in one car, their console or something had a flash chip in it which could not be replaced and which their terrible software wore out really fast.
gollark: I have very powerful and general disliking capabilities.
