![]() Visually Race 07 is a gorgeous game, even more so than the past few SimBin racers, which were all quite good. And there is no pack-driving where the computer is merely trying to keep up with you or slows down to let you catch up. In Race 07 each AI racer has a personality and sometimes they even make mistakes. If you play Race 07 and then go and play one of the popular driving games, especially ones for console platforms, you are going to wonder why the AI in the latter offerings are so stupid. Really the AI of the racers can’t be overstated. No matter how many human opponents you may have online at the same time, there will always be a full grid of aggressive drivers seeking a win. However, this time the AI will expand into the online features of the game as well. Thankfully Race 07 continues the trend of realistic AI driving that feels more like a human opponent than lines of code. Some of the bonus tracks are quite cool, though even the standard ones are challenging.Ī tradition that the SimBin racing titles can boast about is having spectacular racing AI and realism, something that is missing from most of the other current racing titles on either the PC or consoles. Fans of The Italian Job (either the classic 1969 movie or the just as good 2003 remake) will feel quite at home driving the cars that made the movie so famous.Īll the tracks of the WTCC are recreated faithfully in Race 07 in typical SimBin fashion, but also include variations of each of the tracks and a few bonus tracks that are not in the WTCC. While the focus might be the WTCC 20 cars, Race 07 also features Formula single seaters (a first for a SimBin title,) the classic WTCC 87 lineup, and even a MINI Cooper series. Those of you familiar with the WTCC will find all the rules and cars for that circuit, but even if this is the first time you have heard of the WTCC, the core of any great race game is competition driving, and Race 07 has got plenty of that. It might not be as well known in the States as NASCAR or Ind圜ar, but it does have its following, which Race 07 was designed. Whereas the past titles centered more on the GT based racing circuits, Race 07’s focus is that of the World Touring Car Championships. If you want realism in your racer, then Race 07 is the way to go. In fact, Race 07 tops even their previous entries in the increasingly crowded racing field. This SimBim-developed racer follows on the tradition of their previous products (GTR, GT Legends, and GTR 2) in creating the most realistic racing experience ever found on a PC title. Don’t let the simplistic name of Race 07 lead you to thinking that it’s a simplistic racer with no innovation. ![]()
