GI.net: "I am not a big fan of racing games. Sure, just like everyone else, I do enjoy them from time to time. And if you forced me to choose my favorite racing game of all time, that game would not be Mario Kart. This is not to say that I have not greatly enjoyed the series, but the high honor of my being my favorite goes to F-Zero on the Super Nintendo. I remember the first time playing it, being blown away at the graphics, the tight controls and, of course, the major almost overwhelming sense of speed. It was awesome. The racing game sent to me this time is Strategy First's Ford Racing: Off Road for the PC. So, is the game worth your time? My response is highly mixed but ultimately falls into the not-so-much category.
Installation of the game was rather painless as it quickly installed itself onto my computer. No crazed crashes or difficulty. And as an added bonus, the disc is not needed to play. However, the game does not come with a hard-copy manual. Instead, it is on the CD itself. For the record, while I do not hold that fact against this game, if a game comes in a box, there should be a hard copy of the manual - since it is not a downloaded game from the Internet. Or at the very least, it should include a quick sheet of controls."
