Ultimate Racing 2D

The title – Ultimate Racing 2D – sadly belies the actual experience on offer here. While there’s an impressive number of vehicles and tracks, the actual racing part feels flat, uninspiring and, quite frankly, boring. Multiplayer could be good for a laugh, but even that will wear thin before long. Racing fans may be able to eke out some more enjoyment, but for others just looking for a fun little run around you’re best off steering clear of this title.

Ultimate Racing 2D on Xbox One is actually quite decent fun and, believe me, from the initial five minutes of hands-on time, I couldn’t ever have seen myself saying that. Whilst the audio is nothing short of dire, the visuals just about do the job intended of them, and then the simple yet enjoyable racing allows it to move up another notch or two. Well priced, full of content and even delivering a local multiplayer option, you won’t be wowed by what this brings to the motorsport scene, but it’s worth a look if you’ve exhausted all other racing options.
