The ongoing Ford Racing series is apparently not for me. I'm not a casual gamer, I'm not particularly into budget games (unless they're good), and I guess I just like basic things.
In Ford Racing 3, you can get behind the wheel of various Ford vehicles, including GTs, Thunderbirds, concept and SVT vehicles, Mustangs, and trucks. This demo for the driving game Ford Racing 3 lets you try out one track for 2 laps against several computer controlled opponents.
You know, like fast cars, good handling, smart, or even somewhat decent, AI, and a little decoration. You know, some kind of presentation. Some small sense of style, or even just a little effort.
These are all the basic things missing from, and I'm really just skimming the surface.This is the definition of a budget title. It's got a good amount of car modes, it's actually online, and the main goal is here is to collect your favorite Ford cars, which isn't a bad pastime when you think about it. And, you know, if you've never played a videogame, or you play buy, I don't know, one game a year, you might not feel so bad about this cheap, fully Ford-loaded racing game. So, as long as you're not blind, and you're not in a coma, well, you might have a chance of liking this game.
Gameplay The premise behind is not a bad one. It's the same as Polyphony's Gran Turismo, but ' title is just simplistically executed. This is a car collecting game, only instead of collecting 650 cars from all over the world that can be upgraded, enhanced, and that you can revel in because of their pure beauty (in GT4), you try to collect 55 ordinary looking, shabbily textured Fords from all historical periods, through a wide variety of races. While there are surely hundreds of fantastic coupes, sports cars, and muscle cars you could spend a lot of time drooling over, you can also collect trucks, sedans, and some hellishly dull forgettable cars, just in case you had extra time on your hands. Three main modes start you off in different ways. The Ford Competition is a mix of races ranging from straight competition to elimination races to boost-enhanced challenges to off-road, specialty cars races, and more.
You'll compete in classics (like 1960s Mustangs), sports cars (early 170s Capris), trucks (the F-series), oldies (old, old stuff), and newfangled models (like concept cars). Ford Challenge enables you to challenge the AI to win a specific car, track, and race types for your collection, while the Ford Collection offers you the ability to create your own races using the cars, tracks, and race types you've unlocked. You can challenge a friend in two-player split-screen, or jump on line and vie against five others on Xbox Live.I+wish+Ford+Racing+3+looked+like+this. Ford Racing 3 isn't a giant mistake. It's not like the designers aimed ridiculously high and missed their goals. No, they just got paid enough to make a decent little $14.99 game that, for the money, isn't a terrible game.
