Super Woden GP captures the nostalgic feel of classic arcade racing games, combining elements from titles like Gran Turismo and Neo Drift Out, making it a fun and engaging experience.
The game features a wide variety of cars and tracks, each with unique handling characteristics, providing a satisfying progression system that encourages players to improve their skills.
The graphics and soundtrack are charming and well-executed, enhancing the overall atmosphere and enjoyment of the game.

The AI behavior is often frustrating, as they follow predetermined paths and can be oblivious to player actions, leading to collisions that disrupt gameplay.
The controls can feel unresponsive and floaty, especially with early cars, making it difficult for players to master the driving mechanics and navigate tracks effectively.
Progression can be slow and cumbersome, requiring players to repeatedly race to earn money for new cars, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

- “The soundtrack is so awesome I listen to it in my car.”
- “Tight gameplay, really cool art style, all the right cars and a soundtrack which gets you hyped, even if you are ahead of the pack.”
- “If there's a downside, the music can be repetitive due to a lack of variety - it's not bad exactly, but a constant mix of chip-tunes and fairground rave can get a bit tiresome after a while (but of course, you can turn it off!).”
- “The music is bad and jarring; I have it turned off.”
- “The aesthetic, music, world map, and progression are so clearly inspired by old school Gran Turismo; I instantly fell in love with it.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their retro aesthetic, charming artistic design, and vibrant visuals that evoke nostalgia for classic titles like Gran Turismo. Players appreciate the solid detail and smooth performance, even on lower settings, while the overall art style and soundtrack enhance the gaming experience. Despite some minor graphical glitches, the visuals are considered a standout feature that complements the engaging gameplay.
- “Along with its beautiful artistic design and the stunning visuals, it features a fantastic soundtrack that complements its challenging gameplay.”
- “The graphics are niche but look fantastic with just the right amount of detail.”
- “The graphics and overall artistic style of the game are great.”
- “However, after some more months, I found out the demos for this game were playable, so I gave it a shot to see if it would run on my extra budget computer (i7-3820, 16GB RAM DDR3-1600, EVGA Superclocked GTX 750Ti 2GB... so below the minimum specs for the graphics card, but had to go with my gut).”
- “There are a few issues I have though; I get occasional graphical glitches where it stutters ever so slightly (GTX 1080Ti), and at times the collisions seem to be very harsh for your car, often sending you spiraling into a spin that is a race ender. There are minor niggles though, and I'm loving it so far.”
- “I've taken off all the graphic filters as well as the post-processing, and the game looks absolutely gorgeous, super crisp and clean!”
