GameRecoil -> -> Race Pro to Appear on the Xbox360
Atari has had a confusing recent history since selling its Driver franchise to Ubisoft, who ended up licensing out a Test Drive franchise to other companies. To make it even more confusing, Atari's French-based parent company is planning to make Atari private later on in the year. What does this mean to us? Very little.
What IS important is that Atari is taking a simulation-style racer game and publishing it so that the Xbox360 crowd can get their hands on it. The game just happens to be Racer Pro. SimBin's Racer Pro is expected to have a very warm and excited reciption, seeing that their Race 07 (a World Touringcar Championship game) for the PC was a smash hit. Expect to smell rubber and feel the heat of the engines with this new racing game; SimBin plans for it to be extremely realistic with a physics-based racing model and licensed FIA championships and tracks. Race Pro will also include online play for up to 12 racers at a time.
Race Pro will be for every type of gamer. The difficulty level goes from extremely easy to You Might Need to Know How to Actually Drive. One thing to love about the game will be the recognizable cars you will be able to drive, such as an Aston Martin, Audi R8 and Dodge Viper.
