These aren't genuine Volvo cars, notice how the headlights are off.

Yes. If it is possible I reckon we can expect the whole thing ripped accross in under a week

See, things like this make me want to buy a wheel.... As much as I try and ocnvince myself, Race07/GTR/etc are just not playable with anything less...

But I cant justify that expense.

Get a G25 - you will never look back. I've been through 4 wheels now since I was 15 years old and they add at least another 100% on to the driving experience.

Hated every minute of it (2 mintutes). Maybe I didn't give it long enough, but it felt like there was zero oversteer. Not what I expected.

All but the 240 are FWD, it's a different kind of oversteer.

I keep tipping the 840 over though, watch those curbs!

Turn the assists off and go drifting in the 240. Epic fun. Just watch you don't flip it!

If this plays well, has good multiplayer and is free, I imagine this will have a lot of online players...

Worth a punt

Will have to try and find my wired 360 pad, got rid of my wheel years ago.

Perhaps I should try this as I test drove a Volvo this week

Firestar_3x · 28 May 2009 at 09:13

The 240 is great fun, quite easy to hold a slide on the throttle with little steering input, shame you can't change the car setups etc and the tracks are a little pants tbh.

Wish someone would build me a 240 for Race-07

I'd be amazed if the whole game isn't converted to Race07 within a week.
Afterall the full retail games GTR2 and GTL have both been ripped to Race07

Fingers crossed, really want to drive the 240 round the Nurburgring

roadie · 28 May 2009 at 11:36

Looks similar to the M3 Challenge concept. Will definitely give this a go.

Online is pretty fun, its only qualifying at the moment but your times are put on a leaderboard. Im about 60th place at the moment with a time of 49.025. I havent got a clue how people are getting into the low 47's though! :eek:

ROFL at that.

Surely it can not be as much fun as riding a Ford Capri around it?

Actually, yes it would.

I can imagine a lot of Volvo 240 leagues springing up

There's no damage modelling is there? Also the cars sound like hairdryers

Darg · 28 May 2009 at 13:55

Okay.. am I just being a noob head or what?

I can't find the link to download off their site at all. I've gone through the flash thing on the volvo site a dozen times and can't find a single link. Is it that hard to find??

EDIT when I go to download the game I just get to the S60 concept page. No sign of a download link in sight.

PiKe · 28 May 2009 at 13:58

Click http://www.volvocars.com/intl/All-Cars-MY09/conceptcars/Pages/S60concept.aspx

Let it load then click Volvo the game, then click how to install and play, the download link is on the right.
