The music aspect of "Music Racer 2000" has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment compared to the original game. While the integration of music with gameplay can be enjoyable, issues such as glitches, camera problems, and a lack of variety in music presets detract from the experience. Overall, players recommend sticking with the original "Music Racer" or exploring other titles for a more polished musical gaming experience.
- “Once you can get the music set up and working, you can absolutely sink some time into this game; the colors, movement with the car, and music are so satisfying.”
- “I really enjoy listening to music, so Music Racer is very nice to listen to and play at the same time with some friends.”
- “The way the music was put in the game just felt better to me in the original game; in Music Racer 2, I feel like I'm just spamming left and right, but in the original, I feel like I'm moving along with the music.”
- “Sometimes levels will just break and glitch based on the music you are playing, which makes only three of the tracks actually playable.”
- “It's just music racer with better graphics; overall feels like an early access title rather than a new installment. Very underwhelming in terms of quality and amount of content, very buggy.”
- “Visuals are better than the first game; however, it lacks in everything else. Songs sometimes crash the whole game, solid objects block track view, camera shake is horrible, and even though it's advertised that you can use FLAC music files, it doesn't find mine, so I doubt it works.”

When I start, I have to go to options or my FPS stays locked at 30. Also, even though it's advertised that you can use FLAC music files, it doesn't find mine, so I doubt it works.”
