ATemporaryDistraction.com: "The Tour de France arguably isn’t the most exciting event in the world for observers, especially casual ones. It’s a relatively slow-paced sport that focuses largely on long bouts of patience and stamina and relies heavily on pure endurance. In that sense, game developer Cyanide’s latest attempt to translate the cycling event to consoles is technically a success, if not for the right reasons; you’ll certainly need every ounce of patience and stamina you can muster while experiencing the clunky tedium of Tour de France 2011."
Pocket Gamer - You'll spend most of Tour de France 2011 watching a badly animated group of cyclists sliding through a terrible representation of the French countryside. It's hypnotic, like a screensaver, but it's not much fun. And it's not a game.
EuroGamer - Tour de France 2011 is ultimately, however, a little too confident in the appeal of the Tour itself, offering nothing beyond the 21 stages and not even making a cursory attempt at multiplayer. You'll have to bring a passion of your own to see through the game's many deficiencies, but it'll be a passion shared by the developer of this endearing curio.
Definitely,... Eurogamer are biased pricks (they really are),...
