   <title><![CDATA[Split/Second: Velocity Demo]]></title>
   <link>http://split-second.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Split/Second: Velocity</strong> is an intense arcade <strong><a title="" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/driving">racing game</a></strong> that drops reality for a crazy fantasy TV game show of explosions, destruction, and then more explosions.</p><p>This one-race demo is pretty hefty at just over a gigabyte, but for that you get a really impressive, high octane experience. Split/Second: Velocity has a story, that you are a contestant in an insane reality TV show, where you race around courses that are loaded with destructive events that can change the track as well as wreck vehicles.</p><p>In this Split/Second: Velocity  demo the race is around an airport, with falling towers, bridges and even a plane crash to liven up the action. The speed is incredible in this game, and the cars and scenery look great as you career around the course. There are excellent camera effects that really increase the intensity of Split/Second: Velocity , like blurring, vibrating and some great slow motion crashes!</p><p>There are no setup options, so if your PC struggles with frame rates, there's nothing you can do unfortunately. With lots of cars and events on screen, it can get a bit hectic. Split/Second: Velocity brings back the quick thrill of arcade games from the past, which is a great prospect. If you enjoy the detailed realism of simulators, this over-the-top racer won't appeal to you.</p><p><strong>Split/Second: Velocity is a racing game that puts high octane action centre stage, while throwing the real world out of the window. It's fantastic!</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Split/Second: Velocity Demo" href="http://split-second.en.softonic.com"><strong>Split/Second: Velocity Demo</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Racer 0.8.4 Beta]]></title>
   <link>http://racer.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/42000/42120/racer5.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>There are few decent open source driving games on Windows and even fewer that are free. Racer is definitely a decent attempt at creating the latter, although I came across more than a few problems with it.</p>
<p>Racer is a cross-platform car simulation project which is high on realism, employing accurate car movements and controls to maximum effect. The fact that it's open source means that what you download are only the basics - to add more cars and tracks you'll have to go to the <a href="http://www.racer.nl/dl_content.htm" rel="nofollow">contents</a> page where you will find links to several sites providing more cars and tracks. </p>
<p>When you start Racer, it's best to go to 'Options' and then 'Controls' to configure how you'd like to control your car. Click on the aspect you want to change the control for (such as accelerate and brake) and then press the button you'd like to use for it. When you start a race, you're able to configure how many cars you'd like to race against, which track, which car and how many tracks. However, you have to download these options from the contents page and upload them to Racer. It would have been nice if the developer had included at least a few examples to give a better taste of what the game can do. And besides, when I tried to select 16 cars to race against, the game simply crashed.</p>
<p>Because the controls are designed to be as realistic as possible, handling your car is quite tough. To get started, get your revs up and then shift into first gear. The problem is that the gear indicator isn't very clear, so as you're racing it's hard to know what gear you're in. However, the sounds and controls give a feeling of realism and the graphics aren't bad at all for a free racing application.</p>
<p><strong>The good thing about Racer is that it is open source and the sky is the limit for those wanting to add to it. The bad is that you have to visit different sites to add bits onto it, the controls take some getting used to, and it is still prone to crashes.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Racer 0.8.4 Beta" href="http://racer.en.softonic.com"><strong>Racer 0.8.4 Beta</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box]]></title>
   <link>http://burnout-paradise.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/78000/78552/burnout-paradise-030.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>PC users have had to wait a bit for <strong>Burnout Paradise</strong> to make the move from consoles, and possibly to compensate Criterion are offering this demo which gives you total access to the imaginary city, albeit for only half an hour.</p><p>The half an hour limit is an issue, as this is a huge download, coming in at 3 gigabytes! If you have a slow internet connection, you could easily be downloading for longer than you can play. The second issue is the format of introducing you to the game - which pauses your driving to explain something - can be irritating if you really just want to drive, see the city, and crash into stuff.</p><p>These criticisms can't detract from what is an absolutely fantastic arcade <strong>racing game</strong>. If you demand realistic handling and simulation from your racing games, Burnout Paradise is not for you. The physics are convincing while the handling of the cars is forgiving enough to permit long drifts and ridiculous jumps and crashes. Crashes, as fans of Burnout will tell you, are not done better anywhere else, and they are well integrated into races (after a big crash you have a running start!). This is all about adrenalin fueled, over the top, and psychotically dangerous racing.</p><p>There are numerous challenges from straight races to Road Rage, where the objectives is to takedown a number of other racers before you destroy your vehicle and Marked Man, where you have to reach a destination before pursuers destroy you. Alternatively, you can just drive around the enormous open world of Paradise City. Some people may find the lack of defined structure a pain - you are never told to do anything, just enter competitions at your leisure, but you soon get into the rhythm of the game.</p><p>Visually, the cars look great, the damage modeling is just what you would want, and the city is wonderful to look at, at night or day. The advantage of this fictional city is that it's been custom built to drive in, and the corners, ramps, short cuts and so on that are littered liberally around mean it's always a fun place to be.</p><p><strong>As long as realism isn't your thing, Burnout Paradise City is the perfect driving playground.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box" href="http://burnout-paradise.en.softonic.com"><strong>Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive]]></title>

   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/74000/74201/mercedes00.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>If you've always dreamed of driving a Mercedes but can't afford one, this could be an intermediate solution while you're saving money.</p>
<p>Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive puts you behind the steering-wheel of the awesome Mercedes CLC Coupé. The game is free though quite limited, as it only includes two gaming modes: a race against five other computer-controlled Mercedes through the streets of London and a single lap time trial against your personal best record. At least the scenarios are pretty realistic, giving you the opportunity to do some high-speed sightseeing around London or enjoy cool races at night.</p>
<p>The only choice of car available is obviously a Mercedes, but there are some customization options available such as changing color or getting new wheels. There are also three different difficulty levels that tailor the game to your driving skills.</p>
<p>That said, the truth is that Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive is not a very fun driving game and it has some surprisingly odd characteristics, like the absence of driver or the fact that the car is not affected by crashes. In a way it feels more like an interactive ad than a real computer game, so unless you're a fan of the famous German car brand, I'd recommend downloading other driving games before this one.</p>
<p><strong>Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive is definitely a game for Mercedes fans: other people may find it too limited and a bit frustrating.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive" href="http://mercedes-clc-dream-test-drive.en.softonic.com"><strong>Mercedes CLC Dream Test Drive</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/71000/71487/28-may-2008_16-03-10.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p><strong>Bus Simulator</strong> puts you behind the steering wheel of a traditional urban bus and challenges you to complete "missions", that is, complete any of the city routes that bus must follow. But Bus Simulator is not only a <strong><a title="" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/driving">driving simulator</a></strong>, meaning you'll have to take care of the business by deciding the price of tickets or renting the vehicle's ad spaces to make them more profitable.</p><p>Driving in Bus Simulator not as easy as it seems at first sight: not only you have to find your way in an unknown city (note you can open the map with the M key) but you also have to stop at every single bus stop in your route, open and close the doors and follow your way to the next one. Also, don't forget to respect road signs: I didn't stop for any red lights (too much GTA IV is seriously affecting my driving style, luckily only the virtual one) and got fired in about 5 minutes.</p><p>Graphics in Bus Simulator are just fine; quite realistic, but certainly not the best ones I've seen. Physics is not very elaborate, especially when it comes to crashing against objects or other cars (hey, don't laugh at me: I'm not that bad at driving, I just have to test everything!). Other than that, Bus Simulator just an original game that seems as exciting as driving a bus in real life.</p><p><strong>The main feature in Bus Simulator is undoubtedly its originality; apart from that, it's just a standard driving simulator with some business management tools that may entertain you for a short while.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Bus Simulator 2008 Demo" href="http://bus-simulator-2008.en.softonic.com"><strong>Bus Simulator 2008 Demo</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

Still, you'll have to get used to a highly difficult car that tends to go out of track on every single curve.</p><p></p> The simulator is meant to be as realistic as possible, meaning you won't have any help from the "game" like automatic gear system. It's all on your hands so it'll probably take you some time to learn to drive.</p><p>But once you get the knack of it you'll be able to fully enjoy the experience of driving an F1 car. </p> As for the rest, SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 is quite a simple game, as it only features one car and one track (the Singapore Grand Prix circuit).</p><p>The weirdest thing about this simulator is the start menu, which looks more like a standard Windows application than a game in itself. </p> <strong>SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 is not a racing game in the traditional style, but rather an F1 simulator that tries to be as faithful as possible to the real thing, though that makes it quite difficult to master.</p><p>Download <a title="SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 1.0.2" href="http://singtel-ultimate-race-simulator-2008.en.softonic.com"><strong>SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 1.0.2</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Trials 2 Second Edition 1.06]]></title>
   <link>http://trials-2-second-edition.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/70000/70149/04-abr-2008_15-06-51.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>Trial may not be the most popular motor sport but it's definitely a spectacular show with incredible jumps and spins that make our jaws drop. And guess what? You can now reproduce those movements without compromising your physical integrity.</p>
<p>Trials 2 is a realistic trial simulator that puts you in control of a powerful bike and challenges you to complete very varied tracks – all indoor. Tracks are categorized according to difficulty and also to different gaming modes. Though the demo version doesn't include all of them, you can still get a glimpse of what the whole game should be like. There are some tutorial levels as well, but I don't understand how they work, because instead of explaining movements bit by bit (as you would expect from a tutorial) you're just presented with a basic circuit you can use as training. You can also choose between several camera modes, but if I were you I'd stay with Action mode: the other ones are a little confusing.</p>
<p>Trials 2 features an easy gameplay, with only a few keys to learn, but at the same time is quite challenging and difficult to master. Graphics are very detailed and the excellent physics engine contributes to the sensation of realism. However this realism sometimes goes a bit beyond the line, especially when the driver falls from the bike: it always looks like you're on the verge of dying even if you simply crashed at about 5 mph.</p>
<p><strong>If you'd like to test an original motor sport, far from the typical bike and car races, Trials 2 may be the game you're looking for.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Trials 2 Second Edition 1.06" href="http://trials-2-second-edition.en.softonic.com"><strong>Trials 2 Second Edition 1.06</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>
