Distributed by Strategy First, Ducati World Championship is the second Ducati game, the first being Ducati World Racing Challenge back in 2001. Can Ducati World Championship compete with the latest and greatest video games? Not exactly. You are immediately presented with a simplistic menu design, which doesn’t even utilize a mouse. After a quick pass through the setup to set the graphics to the highest quality, our first race was underway. The benefit of the simple menu design is that selecting a race and a biker is fairly easy and you can be at the starting line in less than a minute.
Graphically, Ducati World Championship doesn’t appear to be a next-generation game. For a game released in 2007 the graphics are very uninspired and unimpressive. Bikes are detailed, but just enough to get by, tracks are open and bland and the fans cheering you on in the stands look like they came from a mid 90’s racing game. Little details such as dirt flying up on to the screen and rain effects are a nice touch, but just aren’t enough to compete with modern games. Where is the WOW factor?
