If you like driving games you'll probably be sold from the word go, but if you've ever enjoyed games like Burnout, Test Drive Unlimited or even some of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit games, and you fancy a whole parcel of low-budget arcade action then this could be right up your alley.

Unlocking different vehicles and tracks for the multiplayer provides some incentive to push onward, but there's not much past that.

To sum up, then, this is an interesting game in the same way that Earth Defence Force is interesting. It’s full of silly faults, but if you look past them it’s fairly competent.

With the hilarity of multiplayer locked until you finish the solo missions, and a slightly too-high price, this is one to miss. Shame. [July 2008, p.94]

EuroGamer
Mediocre, unimpressive and uninspired. The handling and physics are competent, but the missions are dull and the presentation is shoddy. The most fun to be had is in laughing at the voiceovers.

Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Frustrating, cheap and lacking any real depth. A modern "Chase HQ" this isn't. [Aug 2008, p.80]

Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit feels more like a training tool for humorless German police cadets than a videogame meant for entertainment purposes. I had more fun driving to work this week than I did playing this game.

Mischa B. gave it a3:
This game is very similar to a bad quality racing game found in arcades. bad thing is: this has no cool seat and steering wheel.
