Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The mid 1960's was a time of racing legends, a time when race car drivers were the real heroes. Golden Age of Racing gives you the chance to relive the best years of Grand Prix racing. These cars are high horse-power, no down-force, rear-wheel-drive works of automotive art.

Push your car to the limit around ten of the most challenging tracks on the international circuit competing against incredibly intelligent opponents that know how to hold a grudge.

So strap yourself in to the seat and start your engine. Only your reflexes can save you now!

5.0 out of 5 stars More a simulator than a game, 16 Aug 2006

By	D. Jackson "davey jackson" (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had fairly low expectations of this game before I played it (having read some of the other reviews here) but was in for a surprise. The graphics aren't great, the sound is pretty poor and the choice of cars, circuits and game modes is very limited. But the handling... oh wow!

If you have ever driven single seater low downforce racing cars (Historic Formula Ford, Formula 2 etc.) you will recognise immediately the techniques required to 'drive' these cars. Unlike other games (dare I criticise Gran Turismo?) you can't just throw the car into a corner at whatever speed you like and then expect to pull off physics defying miracles through a flurry of button pressing. You need to brake correctly (and in a straight line), position the car correctly with a late turn in and actually drive it through the corner before accelerating again on the exit. When racing with the AI competitors you have to observe the proper racing behaviours of flowing with the pack and holding your line in corners to avoid heavy accidents. If you try and drive this like you would other video games you are going straight to the scene of the accident. And, ok, if I'm being honest, it is quite nice to own a racing game that an 8 year old kid isn't going to be able to come along and beat me on at his first attempt. If you don't understand the principles of driving you are really going to have to work at this one.

If you are going to compare this game to other video games you are likely to be both unhappy at the lack of whistles and bells and frustrated that you can't get the round the course without crashing. If you are going to compare it to the real thing you are going to be a very happy petrol head indeed.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit past it!, 2 Sep 2005

By	"nitramprut" - See all my reviews

The golden age of racing is a blast from the Golden age of PS2 titles back in the days when nobody knew how to get the best out of the machine. The graphics are understated and simple, the controls are dubious, the sound is basic and the game oozes budget title.

Don't buy this if you are after a serious racer. Do buy this if your strapped for cash or really, really, really feel nostalgic about those hazy far away golden days when the horizon was a pixalated distant low resolution hidden bend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little racer, 13 Oct 2005

By	"velo-cyclist" - See all my reviews

I saw a movie of this and it looked a lot of fun, so I bought it - and I wasn't disappointed.

The cars do take a while to get used to with their tendancy to understeer, but with 'feathered' braking, the cars steer in a lot better.

The instant replay mode works very well to show off the spectacular crashes.

It's also nice to see 10 cars out on the grid for a change. Just having more cars out on track makes the racing experience more interesting.

There is a nice selection of tracks, with nice variety in corners. It would have been nice to see a track map though. With the lack of any track map, you can sometimes struggle to know where the other cars are on the circuit.

Graphics are OK, but this this a budget game remember.

Overall I was impressed with the game, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quick, cheap open-wheel racing fix.
