Surprisingly good driving simulator
Volvo have never had the exciting racing image of companies like Ferrari, but with Volvo - The Game, they are trying to show that you can be a speed freak and drive a Volvo.
This free racing game features a collection of Volvos for you to race around two circuits. There are three racing modes - quick race, time attack and competition.
We couldn't get the competition mode to connect - it has an online element, but the other two worked fine.
Many control systems are supported, as well as keyboard.
There are lots of difficulty settings, so it can be as realistic as you want it to be. Even on the easiest settings it's a tough game to win, though.
It plays like a simulation, and although you can set your opponents abilities, the only thing that they do poorly is recover from spins. Knock an opponent into a spin, and you won't hear from them for some time!
Graphically Volvo the Game is great for a free game, but a little behind the polish of recent commercial efforts. However, it's good enough, the sound is good and it provides a solid racing experience.

volvo the game.
baje recientemente este juego, pero despues de instalarlo y configurarlo no se que pasa que despues de un par de dias o de horas inclusive, se aborta por si solo y es imposible jugarlo,solo el dia de ser instalado se puede acceder a este siempre marca que se pierde el exe. file y que lo remita a los creadores, lo instale en una pc con windows 7 ultimate y corre bien fuera de ese detalle.
Pros:
buenos gráficos, sensación realista en las curvas, pobre desempeño al frenar aun cuando simula tener abs,
Cons:
abortar el inicio después de horas de instalado en este sistema,y no conexión a la red,sonido muy alto. More

This game is great, really good graphics. I am able to spend hours on this game and not get bored. The driving feel is great with only one slight draw back, the dash board is a bit unrealistic. This game is great for novice or experienced racing game players, but beware novice's the Minimum specifications are very high, just check before downloading that your laptop/Desktop is up to the job.
