You know, it’s getting increasingly difficult to justify a racing game that offers only one brand of car (or in the case of Ford Racing Off Road, two, though Land Rover was still under Ford control when the game was in development). With the more serious sims now delivering literally hundreds of cars, the allure of having a handful of different makes from the same manufacturer isn’t nearly as strong.

Razorworks has been cozy with Ford for years now, so it’s not entirely surprising that it’s back with another Ford Racing game, though taking things (literally) off the streets of the previous games and transplanting things to deserts, mountains and beaches doesn’t really deliver the same sense of speed, the same variety or, well, the same kind of basic fun that the previous games offered.

Much of it comes down to the overall lack of excitement. Sure, you’re bounding around in off-road climes, but that doesn’t mean the game is especially speedy. Most of the vehicles, despite supposedly having different handling, speed and acceleration characteristics for the most part, and the fact that you have to not only unlock but buy the 18 cars in the game means that you’ll be doing a lot of the same stuff over and over again, just with a slightly different mechanic.

It’s this endless amount of regurgitation and repurposing that was done with the game’s tracks that helps hasten the feeling of mind-numbing boredom. Sure, on paper Elimination, Time Attack, Damage Control and Point to Point races seem different, but in actual practice they’re remarkably similar; just make it to first before the other guys and stay there — minding the damage done to your car since it carries over between races. I know that describes like every racing game ever made, but it’s all pretty brainless. Likewise, the Checkpoint, Slalom, Gold Rush and Seconds Out! Events just have you racing to a pickup or gate as fast as possible. None feel particularly engaging once you’ve played them a few times, and with literally dozens of events before the end of the Career Mode, they all start to drag on.
