Ford: First On Race Day or Found On Road Dead? Whatever your acronymic take on the American automotive giant, its products are the only vehicles you’ll find in Empire Interactive’s long-overdue sequel to its 2001 arcade racing game Ford Racing. Sadly, Ford Racing 2 is most definitely not first on PC race day. Although it delivers a number of unique challenges that go beyond the basic racing routine and more Ford cars and trucks are offered than you can shake a Fiesta at, the game is plagued by dated physics and a sense that you’ve already seen the same thing–only better. If it were released a few years prior, just as Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed was finding its footing, Ford Racing 2 would have fared a lot better. As it is, Empire’s latest racer unfortunately does not offer enough excitement for the arcade crowd or nearly enough complexity for simulation hounds.
Ford Racing 2 showcases a seriously diverse assortment of past, present, and future Ford vehicles in a wide range of settings.
Ford Racing 2 veers somewhat from the path taken by its forgotten predecessor. Whereas the original featured a barely adequate dozen drivable Ford automobiles, the new game sports more than 30 vintage, current, and concept models. Whereas the original zeroed in almost exclusively on a “career,” the new game steers clear of such intricacies in favor of a wide variety of “challenges” that range from traditional head-to-head racing to solo slalom and time-limited affairs.
Aside from these key distinctions, both games share similar key design traits. For starters, Ford Racing 2 is once again an exclusive Ford club, so you won’t find any Lamborghinis or BMWs in here. This exclusivity wouldn’t matter so much if each of the 30-plus vehicles delivered a unique and plausible ride, but designer Razorworks simply hasn’t implemented this. Granted, a circa-1940s pickup truck does behave slightly differently from a Ford Focus rally car and a Jetsons-inspired Ford concept car, but none of these three are truly believable or truly distinct.
