The graphics of e-racer, while considered good for a game from 2000, evoke a strong sense of nostalgia with their crisp, functional aesthetic and Y2K charm. However, the limited resolution options and dated visuals may not appeal to modern players, as some maps are criticized for both gameplay and aesthetic quality. Overall, the graphics are a mixed bag, celebrated for their nostalgic value but lacking in contemporary standards.
- “Visually, e-racer adopts a crisp and functional aesthetic that balances clarity with charm.”
- “The game is dripping in a lovely Y2K aesthetic, which will almost certainly invoke feelings of nostalgia for those who grew up playing the classic Need for Speeds on PC.”
- “The music, menus, and visuals themselves are incredibly dated in the best way possible.”
- “I'm not talking about physics, which is quite strange as I'm only adapting while writing this review, but about resolution and other graphics settings.”
- “No modern graphics wrapper I've tried is supported (including dgvoodoo & wined3d), and the highest native resolution the game offers of three measly settings is 1024x768.”
- “Generally speaking, the worst thing is the graphics.”

The gameplay is visually appealing and accessible for casual players, but may lack depth for those seeking intricate mechanics. While the drifting mechanics can be enjoyable once mastered, the floaty steering and sensitive handbrake can be challenging. Additionally, the game features a mix of well-designed and poorly conceived maps, and the absence of catch-up mechanics can lead to frustrating experiences, especially with the punishing damage system.
- “It’s a visual style that supports the gameplay rather than competing with it.”
- “Steering is floaty and the handbrake is sensitive, but the game honestly has some pretty solid drifting mechanics once you get used to them.”
- “These elements make the game ideal for casual racers but potentially too lightweight for players seeking deep mechanical mastery.”
- “While there are a handful of good maps to play, this game also contains some of the worst maps ever designed for a racing game from both a gameplay perspective and an aesthetic perspective.”
- “There are no catch-up mechanics whatsoever, meaning that the only way to overtake first place is by driving perfectly and praying for good RNG.”
