Extreme Aggravation

Turn the game on and you first think, "Hey, this looks cool". Boy are you in for a fight. The graphics are really good and so are the sound effects. This is where the fun ends. Every race is like racing a car or truck on a solid sheet of ice. Oh, different cars have different handling but this entire game is rediculous. It probably wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that when your car goes around a corner (at the same speed as all the other cars) you have two choices. 1. You can use your brakes and slow down or 2. you can NOT use brakes and slide all over the place. Either of which results in the other cars leaving you behind. It is possible to win races but at the expense of losing feeling in your thumb. This game is nothing but work. I would say five percent fun and ninetyfive percent work. Over all the worst thing is the attempt at making the cars handling too realistic. You're not just fighting to win. You're fighting just to keep the car on the road. I can understand a challenge but this is rediculous. Another bonus. I chose to race in easy mode so I could just have some fun. As you progress, the game forces you to race in "Hard" mode whether you like it or not. Thank God I just paid $1.98 for a used version. Gee, I wonder why it was only that price?

Good game, great deal

With the great price of this game and the chance to race the new mustang, i could not pass this one up. I have not played the previous Ford Racing games, but this one is pretty good. It may not be very realistic, but its plenty fun with all the various modes of race and 55+ cars to drive. You can adjust the difficulty for the challenges, and even on the 'easy' setting this game presents the proper challenge. The music is pretty cheap but it makes up for it in the sounds of the motors, you can clearly hear the whine/hiss of the turbos, and deep rumbles of engines especially in the muscle cars. Also the graphics are very nice, no pop-up problems or jagged edges i could see. The cars themselves look great. The variety this game gives is probly the best part. I cant think of another racing game where you get to race cars and trucks, with off-road, road, and highway tracks, and so many race modes. My only complaint(s) would be for some reason your cars headlights stay off (and cant be turned on) at night. Its kinda annoying to have to raise the brightnaess on your tv to see clearly since the headlights dont work, ive never seen that in a racing game. Also the spine of the clamshell case has the cheapest cover art EVER in a video game. It just has the game title in solid black print on a plane white background, ive never seen art so unoriginal. But with this price you really cant loose. Its a must buy for anybody who even slightly likes Ford cars, especially thoes who like racing games. I highly reccomend.

Amazing for the price

Ford and the maker of this game did a great thing.
Instead of charging more for the Ford name, it is discounted, since it is mostly an ad for Ford.
They use what must be a 2 or 3 year old "game engine", but tried and true. It works.

This is definetely a good game.

They should give you a free copy when you visit a Ford dealer, but hey.....

TONS of different racing styles with all different cars

Wow, where do I start? I am more of a racer gamer as that's what I do in real life and it doesn't take 12 buttons to play. The graphics are crisp, the sound effects are very accurate from the screaming of the 4 cylinder concept rally car to the lopey, deep V8 sounds of the mustangs and trucks(also some tach up quicker than others, nice touch of variety that they don't all sound or react alike). There are SO many different races. There is a ford "challenge" where you compete in arcade type races such as points for driving over the green stars, deducted points for the red stars(which are right next to the greens and can be easily slid into) and there is a ford "competition" mode that is more realistic car racing. The "challenge" mode unlocks many cool cars that I've never even heard of, concept cars that are very rare but if you are a FORD guy(which I'm a big 3 guy, like any of dodge, chevy or ford products), you HAVE to get this game, especially at the reasonable price. It has cars from 73 mach 1, 72 ranchero GT, gran torino's, lightning trucks, concept lightning, a variety of trucks and t-birds and mustangs(even the newest bodystyle of 2004). There are environmental challenges present in every race of the "challenge"; NONE take place all on concrete. Some are in snow, some gravel, some sand- generally a mix is present in every race and they even have some jumps and streams of water for the trucks. I highly recommend this game due to the variety, the huge collection of different races to play AND the ability to adjust them EASY, NORMAL, or HARD. The detail is crisp, action is fast and lifelike(having to incorporate powerslides into some of the S-turns and alternate throttle, brake or a little of each). What have you got to lose at the price of a fast-food meal- BUY IT!

Nice game

I'm not much of a gamer. I like easier games. This game was on my level and very fun!

Surprisingly good

I figured a game devoted to one make of car would be less than other racing games. Surprisingly, the graphics are good. The biggest surprise of all though is the handling. It is remarkably realistic. Driving a '68 Mustang is completely different than a later model.

It is also refreshing to play a racing game that doesn't try to superimpose a storyline onto gameplay that doesn't really need one.

All in all, this game is definitely a must have for anyone who loves racing games and a fun game for anyone who enjoys good games.

Sweet graphics and sweet racing game!

I'm more of a Chevy guy but this game was fun anyways. You can collect all kinds of Ford cars and trucks and use them in races. Also, you can get mustangs and a cool looking '61 pickup.
I recommend this game to Ford guys, racing guys and some Chevy guys. This game is also easy to complete and is a great price.

Great and challenging!

All those game review sites were wrong about this game, especially ign. This features a wide array of ford vehicles, some with great speed and some with low speed. It has a championship mode with lots of cups! As you play through the mode it gets more challenging. If you're a huge fan of racing games then I suggest you get this game!
