Ducati World Championship is a 2006 racing video game developed by Artematica for Windows.

Gameplay

[edit]

Ducati World Championship is a game about motorcycle racing. The game features over 70 bikes by Ducati in four different classes and 34 courses.[4][3] The game has five game modes: quick race, career, championship, Capirex challenge and multiplayer.[3] Capirex challenge requires the player to do stunts like wheelies.[3] The game features time-of-day and weather systems.[5] The camera system has first and third-person perspectives.[6] The multiplayer mode allows racing by two people in a split-screen format. There is no internet or network playmode.[5]

Reception

[edit]

Games for Windows: The Official Magazine wrote: "The game's menu system is clunky and aurally abrasive, its environments are sparse and indistinct, and its physics model is so absurdly archaic that you'll pine for the decrepit coin-op racers down at the local bowl-o-rama."[14] Italian GameStar didn't like the bike controls and also stated that the keyboard setup leads to discomfort and expressed confusion over the absence of mouse or analog control options.[9] Strana Igr said the gameplay is too arcadey and graphics unsightly. They compared the game negatively to Super-Bikes Riding Challenge and MotoGP: Ultimate Racing Technology 3.[15] IGN said the graphics are worse than in Superbike 2000 and MotoGP '07.[5]
