Is Auto Modellista still worth playing in 2026?
A racing game from Capcom, Auto Modellista stands out for its cel-shaded art direction evoking animated manga, where you drive licensed cars on varied circuits in an approach blending arcade and driving demand. The cartoon aesthetic unique in its kind, the customisation of the vehicles and the assertive visual style appeal to racing fans concerned with originality. The handling judged rebellious and a divisive driving model tarnished the reception. For a fan of stylish racing or someone curious about a singular art direction, the title keeps a preserved style and originality, in a dated edition.
