You are a driver for the world famous car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, and as rookie on the team, your goal is to become Mercedes-Benz’s No. 1 driver. Go behind the wheel of 170 Mercedes-Benz cars: vintage, racecars, prototype and all current models currently available across 6 continents.

“Duplicitous” is a good one-word description of World Racing. Somewhat like the CD-ROMs in the bargain rack at Target that advertise “101 Great Games for Windows,” World Racing sounds good in theory but doesn’t deliver in actuality. The description on the back of the box and what’s inside are two very different things. What the game does manage to deliver looks and plays well under ideal conditions, but it also highlights the game’s shortcomings. Ultimately, your opinion of the game will depend on two things: how much you like Mercedes-Benz cars, and how easily you can forgive a so-so game for repeatedly attempting to pass off cars with an extra 20 horsepower as different from ones you’ve already driven.

World Racing advertises itself as a simulation featuring a survey of 109 Mercedes-Benz cars. You’d think that would include a lot of cars from the company’s long history, but you get only a few old classics and prototypes. The bulk of the cars are the 2003 models in all their variations. Yes, technically the A160 and the A160 CDI are different cars that drive slightly differently, even if they look the same. But when you start unlocking cars and they include the identical-looking A140, A170, A190, A210, and A210 Evolution, and then it happens again for C-, E-, G-, and M-class cars, you start to feel that the claim of 109 cars is a bit deceptive. Then you start unlocking a seemingly endless string of station wagons and you feel like you’ve been had. Even discounting the variations, there’s still a good number of cars, but the promise of 109 is pretty misleading. Furthermore, the information about each individual car is limited to a few basic stats, not the sort of in-depth technical and historical information you’d expect from a game devoted to one manufacturer.
The same goes for the claim of 120 tracks. There are actually seven maps, and while they’re very expansive and good looking, there are still only seven, with 120 different routes traced along them. The routes themselves are often focused on scenery rather than making an interesting race. Banked curves are virtually nonexistent, and some tracks are completely flat. At least the scenery is attractive enough to be worth focusing on–but not too closely. World Racing boasts that it’s a racing game that encourages exploration, but things sort of fall apart if you take it up on the offer. Much of the game just wasn’t designed to be viewed up close, and the potential excitement of off-roading in a G-class SUV is significantly reduced when you find that you can drive right through trees, over creeks without a splash, and even across bays and rivers like they were just another piece of road. Meanwhile, the skies are thick with all manner of aviators. Helicopters, planes, jets, paragliders, balloons, and even stealth bombers and UFOs are constantly swooping and floating through the environments. The average number of flying objects in your field of view at any given time is around three on some tracks. The developers are so proud of their air force that it continues to fly around even if you pause a race replay.
