Circuit Breakers is a racing game developed by Supersonic Software and published by Mindscape for the PlayStation. It is the sequel to Supersonic Racers.[3]

It was the first (and possibly only) PlayStation title ever to receive expansion packs through Demo discs released with Official UK PlayStation Magazine.

A remake for the PlayStation 2 was released in Europe only under the name Circuit Blasters in 2005.

Reception

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] Some magazines gave it favourable reviews while it was still in development.[8][12][13] Edge gave it a favourable review over a month before it was released in Europe.[7] Next Generation said, "If you possess a multitap and three willing friends, this game should be at the very top of your 'must buy' list."[11] However, GameSpot gave the European version a negative review, a few months before it was released Stateside.[9] GamePro gave it a negative review, saying, The only fun to be had with this Micro Machines–style game is in the mildly entertaining multiplayer matches."[3][lower-alpha 1]

Notes
