Rock 'N Racing Grand Prix

Grand Prix Rock’n Racing is game at war with itself. Its semi-realistic handling belies its arcade presentation, and its AI and physics are constantly battling the player, almost penalising players for upgrading their vehicle as higher speeds result in more unpredictable and inconsistent physics. It’s a real shame as the game really does have potential, with its nice feeling of progression in its upgrade system and a variety of fun and interesting tracks, but its flaws are too many and too great to fully recommend the game to anyone, regardless of whether they enjoy racing games or not, although it is cheap enough for an impulse buy some day, if you’re desperate enough for a new racer.

What could have been a nice old school top-down arcade racer gets ruined by a crazy and unpredictable handling and physics model.

If you're a serious glutton for punishment though, you'll be hard pressed to find a racing game of any kind for under the $10 mark. But remember dear reader, you get what you pay for with this title.

Grand Prix Rock 'N Racing is dull. It’s boring. Bad AI mixed with awful physics and a progression system that causes the game to be infuriating from the get-go, Rock 'N Racing is one of the worst racers I’ve played on the Xbox One.

Grand Prix Rock 'N Racing simply isn't as fun, or as polished, as it strives to be. There was cetainly potential here, but it's not realized due to mechanical issues that make playing the game a slog.

With several upgrades applied to your car, Grand Prix Rock ‘N Racing can become bearable to play – but that’s just it; bearable. And for it to reach that “bearable” point, you’ve got to put in far more time than your wits can probably handle, so it’s just not worth it.
