The complete mix of tight handling, great AI, realistic car tweaking and damage, awesome graphics and sound, multiple game modes, and a great story line definitely surpassed my overall enjoyment of "GT3."

A blisteringly fast, high-end driving experience that really is in a class of its own.

Racing games this good are almost nonexistent. [Nov 2002, p.112]

An excellent title that offers a great racing experience, a novel storyline and an immense number of tracks and cars to race with.

From the thunder of the engines to the sound of breaking glass you won't need much further convincing that you are playing one of the finest racing games ever created for the home system.

Story aside, PRD is a damn fine racer... I'm completely addicted. [Feb 2003, p.109]

The damage model system ties in nicely with the control system and your car will begin to be more difficult to control as you lose pieces of it. You catch too much air and control is lost; you hammer the brakes and they will lock. Every detail is as it should be...

Codemasters takes an above-average racer and puts it over the top by involving the gamer in a drama.

Its priorities are set on showing players that racetracks aren't deserted areas as would a ghost town be and that drivers still represent the heart and soul of racing. In this respect, Pro Race Driver is as close to reality as racing games can get.

Acceptable, occasionally technically impressive but, on the whole, either at or below the par set by other driving games. This one is still recommended, but just veers a few degrees below the target that we like to call essential.
