Ford Racing - US version
(hx) 04:24 PM CET - Dec,18 2000

Ford Racing is another car racing game published by Empire Interactive. Ford Racing includes 12 different Ford cars, ranging from race-tuned showroom vehicles such as the F series, or the Mustang, to the pure race Taurus, the star of the NASCAR circuit and also the concept cars such as the GT90. The game features stunning hi-resolution 3D graphics, super hi-res textures and team colors. Ford Racing (US version) also features additional race cameras - views including: Bumper-cams, In-car cam - (including 3D vehicle-interior and steering-wheel models), Mid- & Long-distance Chase-cams, Rear-view / Mirror-cam and Motion-cam. You can choose from two modes : Quick Race and Career mode. But Quick race is not much boring, because only slow cars are available out of the box (Ka, Escort, F-150 or Explorer). To access better cars, you must enter a Career mode, where you can choose from 3 different Championship series: Class, Closed and Open. Class Championships place you in races against other similar cars (like Escort vs. Escort), Closed Championship races pit your car against other similar classes (Ka vs. Fiesta etc) and Open Championships allow cars of any model (Ka vs. Puma). Visually this game looks pretty good, though some things could be better (such a weather effects, no car damage...). The sounds are incredibly bad, I strongly recommend you to turn off the speakers before you will get crazy:) The game accurately simulate the real driving experience, but it isn't much exciting to drive lazy Ford Ka....Although the US version the game has been improved (additional race cameras / views. moderated collisions etc), the game rather sucks than rocks :(

playability: 3/5 - Good but boring
genre: car racing
