Newman/Haas Racing is a racing video game developed by Studio 33 and published by Psygnosis for the PlayStation and Windows in 1998. It has been described as similar to Psygnosis's Formula One series.[3]

Development[]

Newman/Haas Racing was built on the same graphics engine as Psygnosis's earlier racing game Formula 1, without the enhancements which appeared in its then-recent sequel, Formula 1 97.[4]

The game's audio commentary was provided by Danny Sullivan and Bobby Varsha.[4]

Reception[]

The game received mixed or average reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[5][6] Next Generation said of the PlayStation version, "Judged purely as a racing game, Newman/Haas offers enough to make it one of the better examples of the genre, but considering that Psygnosis' F1 games have offered a similar experience for some time now, the game can only be considered a disappointment."[18]

Notes[]

  1. ^ In GameFan's viewpoint of the PlayStation version, one critic gave it a score of 62, and the other 76.
  2. ^ GamePro gave the PlayStation version 4/5 for graphics, 3.5/5 for sound, and two 4.5/5 scores for control and overall fun factor.
