Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If you're a fan of motorcycle racing games, then you might want to book some private time with your trusty game console. Acclaim's motorcycle racer has plenty of good ideas going for it, but substandard follow-through and too-easy races keep it trapped in the middle of the pack.

In addition to the standard Gran Turismo-esque races, licensing tests, and upgrades, Ducati World offers a number of innovative gameplay options. For example, the game's challenge mode allows players to choose their bikes and put money on the line in a head-to-head race. It might be gambling, but at least it's cheaper than racing for real pink slips.

While the game has plenty of bikes to choose from, including several from years gone by, the racing is at times so easy that most seasoned gamers will soon start looking around the room for other discs to spin. A collection of gameplay modes will keep the attention of hard-core bike enthusiasts, but this game will seem to others as rushed as an impromptu game of chicken. Ducati World's graphics are dated, and its music is simply terrible. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Wide selection of bikes

Cons:

• Choppy and sometimes distorted animation
• Substandard graphics and sound effects

1.0 out of 5 stars Utter crap, August 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ducati World (Video Game)

How this game got released I don't know. The animation is slow and choppy, the graphics are cruddy, and the game itself just seems like a big joke. I played this for about 10 seconds before realizing what a horrible mistake I'd made purchasing it. It's sad, too, because I was really looking forward to a good motorcycle racing game on the Dreamcast. Buyer beware!

This game I thought would be cool because the fact that it involves ducati's. I was wrong the worst graphic cliping I have seen on dreamcast bad graphic's, bad frame rate, horrible physic's and bad sound effects as well as music. I took it back the next day and echanged it for the best racing game I have seen on dreamcast. That was Test Drive Le Mans it is great I highly recomend it I was happy that Ducati was so bad and I had to exchange it after the first five minutes of test drive le mans I was hooked, that's a five star game not to mention it is only $... so run out and get it. Stay far far away from ducati if you enjoy quality games.

1.0 out of 5 stars *** THIS GAME STINKS ***, March 31, 2002

I totally agree with the other reviews. The physics in Puke-kati are lame. I'm surprised that Acclaim put their name on this one. Re-volt, another Acclaim game, is one of the best racing games I've played. Buy that one.
