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]
