Playstation 2 Review: Speed Racer - Page 2

The multiplayer mode features championship and single races with split screen presentations while the single player mode adds a time trial mode. The theme music is curiously missing, but award-winning composer Winifred Phillips covers the hard driving beat pretty well and the environments have a nice variety (and practical use – i.e. trees). Language options in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese and optional heads up display. A solid addition to a game library and essential for racing fans, developers may have short changed themselves a bit on the very affordable price (most stores at $19.99 instead of the SRP of $29.99), most likely enacted to rid audiences of the perceived failure through association of the long, chaotic film from co-directors/writers Andy and Larry Wachowski.


Speed Racer is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. This game can also be found on: Nintendo DS and Wii.
