Track creation tools allow the player to easily build courses using more than 1,000 different construction blocks, which can then be played in single or multiplayer modes.

A race is held on each course with the seven participating cars vying for top honors.

At the end of each race, a status screen displays the finish position of the cars.

In Race Challenge, you must finish in the top 3 to earn a medal (1st, 2nd, or 3rd to obtain gold, silver, or bronze respectively).

Build 'n Race features three different environment themes inspired by locations throughout the world.

One critic wrote: "Overall, Build 'n Race is one of the better entries in the Wii's budget-priced library...With some serious refinement and development, however, a sequel could catapult the game out of bargain bins and into shelf space reserved for premium titles.
