Checkpoint Champion looks very good. The cars on offer are cute versions of well-known cars. The Levin/Trueno in particular is cool looking. A lot of additional paint jobs can be unlocked by completing goals in games. The sound is really good as well. Some very, very catchy music pumps away in the background and the car’s motor sound and effects for collecting checkpoints are just fine.

Critic reviews
- 8.0Checkpoint Champion is a well put together little racer. It reminded me quite a bit of the racers from the SNES days like Micro Machines and Rock 'n Roll Racing. The only drawbacks are the sometimes wonky controls and repetitive scenery. The game is free and although there are IAP, they are not an annoyance and offer removing ads and unlocking skins and a new vehicle. Free games don't get better than this.
- I can't praise Checkpoint Champion enough. It's a fun game on its own, with plenty of challenge on its own. But the social features, gorgeous design, and clever features all push it to a level that should leave other developers jealous: this game is just plain sleek.
- 7.0Checkpoint Champion is easy to play yet difficult to master, but it does leave you wanting more: more vehicles (especially), more game modes, just more in general, and not necessarily in the good way. If you get hooked on the challenge of perfecting your turning skills so you can get all three stars on every level, this is going to be your new favorite game. Otherwise, you’re going to do what I did, which is to play it for a bit, admire its good parts and move onto something else.
- 8.0Crucially though, it’s the fact that Checkpoint Champion is so simple to play in short bursts. Got five minutes spare? You can achieve something in that time. It’s that kind of mental factor that will draw you in. ...Checkpoint Champion is the ideal game to see expanded in the future, thanks to its three-star system. It’s good, simple fun.
- 7.0Checkpoint Champion crams a ridiculous level of difficulty into its blasts of play. But those three star ratings are attainable, and that position at the top of the leaderboard is yours for the taking. Behind the bright cartoon graphics lurks a black heart of pure gaming evil, and for some that makes Checkpoint Champion essential.
