Race Pro feels like a game from another time, specifically a few years ago and with a limited release on the PC. This unshakeable sensation of returning to an era gone by is probably warranted – the developers of the title, SimBin, have spent most of their development career on the PC, making similar titles in the 'simulation' sub-genre of the racing game scene, being lauded for their realistic experiences, but hardly ever their presentation skills.
Such is the case with Race Pro, a simulation racing game that allows players to race around real-world tracks in real-world cars, using simulated physics on top of simulated racing set-up choices, but fails to deliver anything further, with graphical appeal and a presentation style that can only be described as 'dull' – even the name of the title is dull, and the entire experience fails to entice a quiver of excitement from your, by then, lethargic fingers.
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
