Rev Up RC Grand Prix – Review
This post should be published on April 25th. Remove this text after you finish the post.
We got a new game to review: Rev Up RC Grand Prix. Since we play mostly 4 player games this was a no brainer. It actually have 6 players!
It’s your basic racing game with on road tracks, off road tracks, and several minigames. There’s a lot to customize as well. You can create your own vehicles and create your own tracks. Creating your own tracks definitely is a lot of fun, more on that later.

Why Rev Up RC Grand Prix
Anyone looking for an easy party game to play with friends should give Rev Up RC Grand Prix a try. If you like party games with friends, this is an easy racing game to add to the mix.
Anyone can learn to race with this game. Plus the 9 minigames offer a lot of head to head competition if you ever want to do something besides race.
Comparable Games
Rev Up RC Grand Prix is comparable to Hello Kitty 3D Racing, Cars 3 Driven to Win, Team Sonic Racing, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This game looks and feels most similar to Hello Kitty 3D racing. One major difference is customizing tracks in Rev Up RC. Hello Kitty offers some vehicle customization but not near as much as Rev Up RC.
Cars 3, Team Sonic Racing, Mario Kart 8 all have that “A” list look and feel, but honestly I enjoy many of the “B” list racing games just as much. They all offer great racing and fun minigames. Still, only Rev Up RC offers creating your own tracks.
Rev Up RC Grand Prix has another game mechanic others are missing: on road and off road tracks and vehicles. Most racing games have heavy and light vehicles, but Rev Up RC offers two different track and vehicle types.
The off road tracks have a lot more drifting while the on road tracks seem faster and focus on taking good racing lines. There’s also on and off road vehicles to match the tracks.
Pros and Cons
One of the best parts was creating our own tracks. We were able to make off road courses with wide gradual turns to get the most out of drifting. Then make tracks with tight corners to really take advantage of the acceleration and braking of the race cars.
Customizing cars was also a robust feature. We were able to get very creative with colors, wheels, and other features.
The only drawback I found is with one of the racing mechanics. Every time you even touch a wall it nearly brings you to a dead stop. This game really punishes you for even slightly touching a wall. Drifting is fun but avoiding the walls has the greatest impact on winning.
Summary
Our review of Rev Up RC Grand Prix gives it 7 out of 10 stars. The gameplay, graphics, sounds, and overall appearance is reflective of the lower price tag. However, that doesn’t mean this game isn’t as much fun as many A list racing games.

I’m David M. I’ve been playing video games a long time, my pong game was fire. Now, my kids run circles around me but we always have a good time. We mostly play party and family games. Strategy and battle games are still among my favorites. I like writing about games almost as much as I do playing them. My favorite games are: Moving Out 2, Out of Space and Overcooked All You Can Eat.
