Of the three Ford games released on Steam, this is the best, and is also the most recent released; having been released six years ago (2008). There are three environments to race through; desert, ice and water. As with the other ford games, there's little to like about this game, with handling little improved and although the graphics are an improvement on the 2004 and 2006 releases (Ford Racing 3 and Ford Street Racing respectively), they are still sub standard to many other racing games released back in 2008 (for example Need for Speed Undercover, which looks amazing and plays brilliantly even today) that said, the recently released Colin McRae Rally was released before any of these ford games and is far superior to all three games and is only a pound more expensive.

My advice, either leave it alone, or, if you are determined to buy it, wait till the sales. with 50% off, it'll be less than a cup of coffee. :)

Fist impressions:

Drives like bumper cars (seriously, you bounce off obstacles), with decent controls which you ought to get the hang of quickly. Graphics are bad, sound effects are bad (it might be a good idea to turn up the music), car physics are a joke (though it does do simple damage), still the game is fun, and apparently it supports 2 player splitscreen operation.

You need to find the PCConfig/Sysconfig application in the "local files" to change the graphics settings; be sure to choose a 3:4 resolution or the image will appear distorted.

Get this dirt cheap for a laugh, and you won't be disappointed.

It is ok, the game is good for a quick fix if you are in the mood for racing and need something cheap. The game is obviously old so there will be no suprise that the textures look somewhat simular to that of GUN for the gamecube. I (like most people I have seen) haven't played too much of this yet, however, I am eager to try out that split screen local multiplayer. So few decent games on the pc have local multiplayer... shame.

Nice arcade offroad game. Enjoy a lot of cars and tracks in singleplayer or splitscreen...

Despite being 3 years less old than Ford Racing 3, it's actually even worse. I didn't think that possible. You still can't change graphics, but at least they also removed the option to change the keymapping, and changing from mph to kph in the menu didn't affect the game - nor did turning off the music for that matter.

This game reminds me of the Playstation era. I loved these types of games on my Playstation, not only were they addicting but they were exciting and fun, This game was released 6 years ago so don't expect a triple A title, but a simle arcadey style racing game. Very fun. Great time-waster. And a great racing game.

7/10

Seven out of ten because you couldn't really play this game for hours on end without feeling like it's getting repetitive. Because it really is the same thing over and over again, there isn't much tracks, and there isn't much cars, or gamemodes. But a great game and I would recomend it to a friend.
