Reception

The game received "average" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2][3][4] Eurogamer's Roman Jennings said of the PlayStation 2 version, "If we were to recommend an open-wheel racing game to somebody, it wouldn't be this. It would be Formula One 2003. If we were to recommend an arcade racer to somebody, it wouldn't be this. It would be Burnout 2. However, if we were to recommend a well-made racing sim to a real fan of the genre, then IndyCar Series would get a mention."[7]
