Rumble Racing is a PlayStation 2 racing video game from Electronic Arts. It was influenced by NASCAR Rumble.[1]

Reception

Kevin Rice reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "This is a pretty, fun arcade racer with hours of replayability. But the memorization required of players and level of difficulty can be a turn-off."[2]

Rumble Racing received positive reviews after release, garnering a Metacritic rating of 85 out of 100, based on 17 critic reviews.[3] GameSpot gave the game an 8.5 out of 10.[4] It was nominated for GameSpot's annual "Best Driving Game" prize among console games, which went to Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.[5]
