Unimatrix Xero Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Volvo and Simbin have released Volvo - The Game, a free driving simulation containing various Volvo cars that can be raced on two tracks. Despite being free, Volvo - The Game offers a rich choice of cars as players can get their hands on some of the most famous racing cars in Volvo's history. Among modern STCC touring cars such as the C30 and the S60, the game includes the BTCC-proven Volvo S40 and two real legends - The 850 and the 240. While the 850 estate is probably the most famous station wagon in racing history, the 240 is a powerful, turbo-powered Group A touring car. If you?re more into road cars, you?ll like the brand new S60 concept sedan that is also available as fictional racing version. The choice of tracks includes the Gothenburg Eco Arena, a tight and twisty street circuit located in the city's harbour area. Hosting an annual STCC event, this track is made with door-to-door touring car racing in mind. The other track is Chakya, a Ukrainian road course that should be new to most sim racers as it hasn't hosted any international events before. The 4.1 kilometer track certainly deserves some mainstream attention though as the layout is quite challenging. All this is wrapped-up in typical Simbin-style menus, if you?ve ever used any Simbin title you?ll feel right at home. Settings, physics and force feedback are as extensive as in any commercial Simbin title, game modes include time attack, single races and multiplayer. Whether or not you?re into Scandinavian cars, follow the download link below and give Volvo - The Game a try.

Sethos Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 its actully a decent little promo game, the Ukraine track is brilliant Well, considering it's just like those GTR games with only Volvos and select tracks, can't really go wrong. Same with that BMW promo some time back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTN Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 you know looking at the Youtube video you posted Unimatrix.. In the cockpit view, your car looks like it is doing good speed.. but the overlay video (3rd person view) it looks like the cars speed is really slow.... just something I noticed.. I know its a game issue, but it just looks weird to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you have more support from the developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a game issue, but it just looks weird to me Thats just how the game is, its the same in GTR Evo and Race07, the track is very wide hence why you dont get the feeling of speed, if it was a narrow track then it would show it much better, i can do a vid on a narror track if you was so you can see the difference @Carbon its got nothing to do with 'the quality' of the game' this promo game is more or less at the same graphical and physics standard as GTR Evolution and Race07, ive been racing Simbin Simulations since GTR & GT Legends was released many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
