Gameplay

Off Road features 12 tracks, and 18 vehicles from Ford and Land Rover. The game features five game modes: Quick Race, Career, Tournament, Arcade, and Multiplayer. Career mode is the game's main mode, in which the player races to unlock new vehicles, tracks and race types. Tournament mode is a smaller version of Career mode, minus the ability to unlock new vehicles.

Quick Race allows the player to begin a race on a limited number of tracks. In Arcade mode, the player can race with vehicles, tracks and race types that have been unlocked. The PC, PS2 and Wii versions include a two-player option.

Development

The game was announced in July 2007, with the tentative title of Ford Off Road and a release date scheduled for late November. It would be the first game in the Ford Racing series to feature off-road driving and the first to feature vehicles from Land Rover, which was owned by Ford at the time. The game was to be known as Ford Off Road for its U.S. release, while it would be titled Off Road in other regions.

The game was released in 2008:

Reception

According to Metacritic, the game received "generally unfavorable reviews".

GameZone wrote about the PC version: "In the end Ford Racing: Off Road is a decent racing title that does what it should - offer a fun racing gameplay experience. It doesn't excel at offering a ton of features or incredible visuals, but then again it doesn't need to. There are plenty of gamers out there just looking for a fun racing game to play for a few minutes a day and Ford Racing fits the bill". Sam Bishop of IGN reviewed the PC and PS2 versions.
