Game:Ford Racing 3Publisher:EmpireDeveloper:RazorworksGenre:RacingTested for:PS2, XboxAvailable for:PS2, XboxUSK:Released in:1 / 2005
New year, new Ford Racing: This time there are 55 bodies available, from the brisk prototype to the beefy off-road pick-up, with which you can make 16 asphalted and cross-country slopes unsafe. The control always remains arcade-friendly and therefore does not cause any major problems.
In eleven types of races you drive against five competitors, thread your way through cone gates or have to overtake a certain number of vehicles. In the ‘Challenge’ you compete in predefined vehicle classes, the new ‘Competition’ challenges you to increasingly difficult themed competitions. Xbox pilots are excited about the opportunity to compete online with human competitors this time.
In terms of technology, both versions deliver exemplary optics with a consistently smooth frame rate, but like the predecessor, the final whistle is missing: everything runs perfectly and is quite fun, but turned out to be discreetly sober and unspectacular. Thanks to the low price, it’s not just worth it for racing game collectors.
Unspectacularly staged, but technically spotless: fun frenzy, ideal for in between.
