“This is a decent revival of the franchise so far, with simple yet challenging gameplay, and the track builder will provide a lot of replay value.”
“There's lots of added challenge and variety in the user-created courses and the obstacle course mode, which adds a lot of replay value. The tight controls and the fact that each car handles differently mean that picking the right car for the course is essential.”

50%NeoSprint Review – Tiny Racers Going Fast
NeoSprint has some good things that arcade racing fans will appreciate. It’s a refreshing take on a very classic series for Atari. Getting into a race alone or with others is easy, and there’s plenty of racing to be done. But a lack of online multiplayer and a slim picking of items at the start can be a real drag. But there’s a variety of tracks and an interesting track editor that will keep players busy for a long while.
60%NeoSprint Review
At its core, NeoSprint is fun to pick up and play and managed to leave us itching for 'one more race', making it a good recommendation for retro arcade racing fans and Atari enthusiasts. That said, we feel the asking price is a tad steep given the omission of online play options, particularly when stacked against free-to-play retro racing competition like F-Zero 99. But if you’re sold on its well-crafted campaign and solid track-building elements, there’s plenty to enjoy here.
