When directly compared to its contemporaries, it's no wonder Auto Modelista was critically panned. However, after all this time, I'd argue that it's held up better than any other racer. Sure, visually and stylistically, nothing compares, but also—to this day—no other game captures the thrill of drifting down Mt. Akagi like Auto Modelista. And make no mistake, it's all about drifting; if you're in for that, then adding this game to your collection makes it a joy to revisit over and over.
