Reception

edit

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] Next Generation said, "In the end, PP's racing weighs in at just above average. But with many unique options, including a 'create-your-own obstacle course,' Peak Performance should be enough to entice drivers looking for a 'different' racer as opposed to an improved version of 'more of the same.'"[9] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[5]
