Reception

Race On received mixed reviews, scoring a Metacritic average of 73%.

IT Reviews commented that “Race On is a good value for money package, with a colossal amount of cars and tracks on offer if you've not got the original game.” However, it added that for those who already own Race 07, all you get is “new muscle cars to play around with, and the Swedish championship”, which makes it a “slightly less compelling purchase for them.”[1]

PC Gamer magazine in the UK agreed broadly with this, saying: “It's not bad value if you're new to Race 07, but is perhaps a raw deal for those who own the base game.”

EuroGamer, however, said that Race On “lacks the core improvements it needed to be a truly essential purchase for series fans”, and complained about the game's pricing.[2]
