Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The consensus was that it was "A pretty decent rally game, but lacks finishing touches especially with graphics and audio. The driving model regarding feedback could be also more refined." The PlayStation 3 version got to number 23 in the UK sales charts. In Japan, where the game was ported and published by CyberFront on February 16, 2012, Famitsu gave the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions a score of two sevens, one eight, and one six for a total of 28 out of 40.
