Pacer

"Overall Pacer is a good game. It stumbles from time to time with flaccid weapons and a lack of an active online community, but in just about every other category, it does a corker of a job. When compared to …"

"I wish that Pacer tried to forge its own identity instead of being another WipEout clone because it&s;s simply not as good of a game."

"Fans of Wipeout and F-Zero should rejoice as they have finally a modern installment to their beloved genre. Pacer delivers on what it promised - being a high quality anti-grav racing game, albeit not AAA-level, nor does it really need …"

"Clearly inspired by titles like Wipeout and F-Zero, Pacer slips a little in its presentation and proposal, but it respects the history of these classics. An uncompromised title, whose main highlight is its beautiful visuals and a fast and intense …"

"Solid in some ways, less-than-desired in others, Pacer is a fairly good futuristic racing game with some caveats."

"Pacer is a good game on its own merits but it is nothing special, and when Wipeout HD Collection is still being sold for half the price of Pacer (and the other titles I mentioned at the beginning of this …"

"Pacer&s;s lacklustre career mode and some dodgy event types might be turn-offs, but the core racing gameplay makes up for it."

"PACER presents itself as a title that seeks to improve an experience based on a solidified formula. Still, it manages to introduce some new features that may please fans of the genre. Even so, we feel that there could be …"

"I have always been a fan of zero-g racing games. Titles like Wipeout and Extreme-G were big players in my childhood, nothing else matched the neon rush or mind bending speed of the genre. Now R8 Games are getting into …"

"Pacer is an adrenaline-fuelled racer with tons of replayability, and plenty of customisation options to make each win count."

"Fans of either F-Zero or Wipeout will undeniably and thoroughly enjoy PACER. The methodology behind this title is the same that you would see in Wipeout as the project began with many of the same people involved in the original …"

"Though there are a lot of issues under the hood, Pacer is a decent anti-grav racer at heart. If R8 Games continue to tinker, tweak, support and add enough post-launch content - the potential is there for this series to …"

"With many games trying to replicate the enthralling and addictive nature of WipEout, it’s understandable that many will fail miserably. Fortunately, Pacer isn’t one of these titles. With many well designed levels and modes, lots of weapons to choose, and …"

"Pacer is a magnificent anti-grav racer that&s;s more than capable of filling the Wipeout-sized hole in your life."

"Ships that literally defy gravity, speed, shooting and constant action are the condiments that make Pacer a worthy exponent of the futuristic driving genre."

"Like Herbie, what started off as a bit of a rust bucket with heart is now a championship racer with a fresh lick of paint"

"Like all great racing games, Pacer is about repetition and mastery. The more you play, the better you&s;ll become at speeding through all the sharp turns and wild loops. It&s;s not as polished as the Wipeout games were, but it&s;s …"

"Pacer is a thrilling racing game with plenty of content, variety and customisation. A couple of rough edges and slightly disappointing combat keep it from reaching true greatness but it’s still a fun trip down memory lane, even when you’re …"

"Pacer is pure adrenaline. A little lame in content but it will put us to the test and we will enjoy dominating each circuit reaching speeds of authentic vertigo."

"Pacer is a delightful racer, filled with plenty of action-packed moments. It also has some of the more glorious drifting mechanics that are hard to find in most car-racing games. For those looking for the spiritual successor to the WipeOut …"

"Fans of games like Wipeout should have no qualms about picking up Pacer as it is a fast and smooth spiritual successor to that franchise. It’s got a nice set of tracks, modes, and weapons and it looks great and …"

"Pacer is definitely a match for Wipeout in so many ways. The gameplay is fantastic and the sense of motion you get from the smooth anti-gravity racing feels very satisfying. The customisation options allow you to personalise your ships and …"

"The intense rush of a photo-finish hardly ever occurs and the combat is underwhelming. Hardcore fans of the genre might find enjoyment in Pacer. But honestly, they probably won’t find enough to sink their teeth into or a reason to …"

"Is it better than F-Zero or Wipeout? No, nor it was intended to be. Is it a great alternative to PS4 and Xbox owners who don’t have access to Fast RMX? Absofreakinglutely. This one will most certainly satiate any futuristic …"

"Ultimately, PACER is an experience that gradually gets more and more frustrating due to its lack of speed, unbalance and the decline in the quality of the tracks. The beginning was promising, but that, unfortunately, was not maintained until the …"

"Pacer ended up as a better game than I expected it to be. It has many good aspects, great tracks and the speed is insane. Motivation however never really takes off."

"Fast, slick but with a few too many flaws, Pacer is nevertheless a fine futuristic racer."

"R8 Games tried to create a new WipEout and they succeeded. Well, partially. The game is fast and catchy but it&s;s not as good ad original."

"Pacer successfully fills a gap in the market for high speed, anti-gravity racers. Those who are wishing for an experience reminiscent of the Wipeout series will be pleased on how this project has turned out. Tight and precise controls, matched …"

"So, Pacer is an accomplished anti-gravity racer, no doubt. But it falls short of being great due to its ho-hum campaign mode and the restrictive nature of some of its tracks. If you’re looking for a worthy Wipeout replacement on …"

"It all ends up coming across as an ‘almost’ experience. Pacer is almost a successor to Wipeout, but poor track design, a lack of strong audio design, and lackluster weapons all add up to a ho-hum experience that leaves you …"

"Pacer is a fun, difficult, and fast racing game that marries some sensible simplicities to an often overwhelming genre. That said, some little oversights can still hamper new players&s; experience."

"The game doesn&s;t get everything right. Menus and UI are a little clumsy, and you&s;re unlikely to feel attached to any of the teams in the career mode. However, it has it where it counts — fun, speedy racing, lots …"

"Ironically, the futuristic theme and the year in which it debuted, 2020, makes PACER a beautiful journey to the past we aspired at the end of the 90s."

"Pacer can most definitely give you a rush of nostalgia if you grew up with games of this type. It just doesn’t feel like it has the legs to keep you occupied once that euphoria wears off. It’s hard to …"
