Xbox Critic Reviews

With incredible track designs, a spot-on control system and a soundtrack by Junkie XL, Quantum Redshift leaves little to be desired. It may not be perfection, but it's pretty darn close. [Dec 2002, p.125]

The only thing preventing an even higher score is the "Wipeout analogy"—Quantum Redshift matches that standard, but doesn’t deliver something beyond it in terms of gameplay.

Explosions, good lighting and cool particle effects are everywhere in Quantum Redshift. But the graphical effect that stands out the most is the subtlest of them all: water.

The single most impressive feature of Quantum Redshift is its absolutely gorgeous graphics. This is one of the Xbox’s best looking games to date, and that’s saying a lot.

Distracted by the majesty of the visuals, it's difficult sometimes to keep your head in the game. [Oct 2002, p.67]

With a few more customization options and some robust (and online) multiplayer options, this could be the premiere series in the genre.

By all means technically proficient, but it's uninspired and will probably give you the sensation that you've already done all this before.

The main problem is that we’ve seen it all before and done it all before, something that you’ll not be able to overcome.

Like a college fling: It looks pretty enough, but lacks the substance you'd need for a long-term relationship.

It's the Ramen Noodles of racing games - not bad on its own, but needs something to spice it up to make it a proper meal.
