CGRundertow FORD RACING for PlayStation Video Game Review

You know what I love, I love racing games.
The feeling you get when you speed down a track at top speed, putting the pedal to the
metal, trading paint with other cars as you drift through a corner. There is really nothing
like it. And because of having these emotions was I not satisfied with Ford Racing for the
Playstation. With games like Gran Turismo and Need for Speed, games that offer tons
of different cars and brands to race, Ford Racing hopes that the only cars you want to
race are made by Ford.

This can feel, because it really is, limited in comparison to other
racing games. But Ford is a solid company with multiple
options to suit your racing needs. Most of the cars need to be unlocked through the career
mode, cars like the Mustang which everyone would want to race. No, patience is a virtue
and you have to learn to master the Ford Fiesta and Escort first, before you are handed the
keys to the more powerful cars.

But the limited car selection would really
not be that big of a deal, I mean how upset can you be that there are no Alpha Romeros
in a game called Ford Racing, but that's if the games racing and career mode were fantastic.
And disappointingly, both of those feel very limited. The career mode starts you off with
a weak car, but offers ways to unlock more and even tune and upgrade your cars, making
them more powerful and perform better. But it feels like disjointed races and just doesnt
really flow well together and the same with the racing itself. Everything just feels very
slippery, your cars don't really feel like they have any weight.

And the speed of the
races, let me tell you how intense it gets when you are flying down the straight-away
topping out at, oh what only 55 mph. I drive faster than that in my Hyundai on my way to
work. I know you can do better than that. Ford Racing is a great idea for a game, racing
with some great American cars against the competition.

But the game is held back by
a thin career mode and controls that need some time under-the-hood. I crave intense
speed, and Ford Racing only delivers a push buggy..
