Great free racing game that can be played across the net
If you like your driving games real, high speed and without any kind of flashy special effects, then Driving Speed is for you.
With great handling and some impressive graphics, Driving Speed is a great driving simulation and best of all, it's for free. Of course, if you're looking for a Need For Speed clone, then look elsewhere because this game is not designed in that vein.
Driving Speed's choice of cars is limited to European or Japanese but pick of the bunch is probably the Mustang 68. The overall handling and sound are incredibly realistic for a free game of this type although be careful with the controls because it's hypersensitive to even the mildest movements.
As for Driving Speed's graphics, they're not first class but they're not terrible, and move smoothly, giving you a good sense of speed . The gameplay is simple - you have 11 opponents although you can spice things up by playing against 8 friends over the internet. The icing on the cake is that you can compare your fastest laps in Driving Speed with other racers making this a truly global game.
Racing fans looking for fast thrills and no fuss action will love Driving Speed although let's hope the developers add more circuits to it soon.
