APEX Xbox

Strengths: You can make your own company. There are two different modes. Dream mode, arcade mode. There are damage visuals.

Weakness: There is not a big selection of cars. You cannot build your own cars. There is no damage to your car for example, engine failure, tire blowout. No cops.

This is a good racing game, but not the best in its own category. Lets go into details. Graphics, 6/10. Dialog, 6/10. Collision effects, 8/10.

APEX Xbox

Strengths: Superb Graphics, Perfect Blend Between Arcade Racer and Full-On Sim Racer, Multitude of Tracks and Cars

Weakness: Limited Number of Tuning Options

I would buy this game again in a heartbeat! It's the perfect fusion of arcade racing fun and demanding simulation-style racing! Plus I've yet to see a game that looks as eye-popping as this one. The game's progression takes your character from a rag-tag hopeful who dreams of creating and marketing his own brand of vehicle, to super automobile mogul. The sales of your brand are heavily influenced...

Strengths: great looking, cool cars, plenty of tracks.

Weakness: no tuning (when will they learn)?, limited number of cars, controls a bit tight.

this game works and looks good and custom soundtracks are always a plus on a race game, but the build your own car theme is a bit misleading, you choose from preprinted blue prints found in a warehouse you aquired and your goal is to race it and win to get people to purchase your vehicle. no tuning makes it difficult to compete with the factory mahines till later laps when a.i. drops out and...

APEX

For a console that is struggling to find an identity, there sure are a lot of Xbox racing games. A cursory look on the Internet found nearly three dozen, which translates to roughly 15% to 20% of the entire software library for the console. Only a few of the racing games are standout titles though, and thankfully, Apex is one of them.

Apex

If there's one genre the Xbox isn't lacking in, it's the racing genre. With great exclusives like Project Gotham Racing, Sega GT, and Rallisport Challenge, you can't go wrong. Along comes Apex - a good-looking title from Atari. But can it really stand up to the competition? Let's see. The game has two basic modes: the Dream Mode and Arcade Mode. Arcade mode allows you to race single races, alone...
