DUCATI - 90th Anniversary

Jogo simples , mas com boa jogabilidade. Pelo valor vale a pena.

DUCATI - 90th Anniversary is a motorcycle racing game created as a dedicated celebration of Ducati and the long history behind the Italian manufacturer. Developed and published by Milestone S.r.l., the game takes the racing foundation associated with RIDE and gives it a much narrower purpose. Instead of offering motorcycles from numerous competing brands, everything revolves around Ducati. This specialization makes the experience particularly attractive to enthusiasts who appreciate the company's machines, racing achievements, and evolution across several generations. The motorcycle collection is the heart of the game, featuring 39 Ducati bikes divided across seven historical eras. This structure gives the roster more significance than a simple selection of vehicles arranged according to performance. Players can experience motorcycles from very different periods and see how Ducati's designs gradually evolved from relatively modest early machines into sophisticated modern superbikes. Historically notable models such as the 125 Gran Sport Marianna appear alongside legendary racing motorcycles, including the Ducati 996 associated with Carl Fogarty. The selection therefore functions as an interactive journey through Ducati's history while still providing the excitement expected from a racing game. Riding these motorcycles requires considerably more attention than an arcade racer normally demands. Braking points, corner entry, throttle control, racing lines, and the stability of the motorcycle all influence performance. Charging into a corner without reducing speed sufficiently can quickly ruin a lap, while accelerating too aggressively when exiting a bend can make the motorcycle difficult to control. This creates a satisfying rhythm once the player becomes familiar with the handling. Learning how individual motorcycles react is part of the appeal, particularly because machines representing different historical periods naturally produce different sensations on the track. The available locations complement the motorcycle collection with five country tracks and eight official circuits. These environments provide enough variation to demonstrate the characteristics of the bikes in different racing situations. Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is among the notable inclusions and fits naturally with the game's strong Italian identity. The track selection is not enormous compared with larger racing simulations, but DUCATI - 90th Anniversary benefits from having a tightly defined purpose. Its environments primarily exist to provide suitable stages for enjoying the motorcycles rather than competing with much larger racing games through sheer quantity. A particularly appropriate feature is the museum, which expands the game beyond straightforward racing. Here, players can learn more about the motorcycles through historical and technical information. This addition gives the anniversary concept considerably more credibility because the game does not simply place Ducati branding over a conventional racing structure. It actively attempts to communicate why these motorcycles matter. Enthusiasts who enjoy examining the development of motorcycle technology and learning about important Ducati models may spend almost as much time appreciating the collection as they do chasing faster lap times. The visual presentation naturally places considerable attention on the motorcycles themselves. The licensed machines are recognizable and carefully represented, allowing the distinctive shapes and designs associated with different Ducati eras to remain an important part of the experience. The graphics inevitably reveal the game's 2016 origins when compared with newer racing simulations, especially in environmental detail and overall rendering sophistication. Even so, visual technology is not the primary attraction. The ability to inspect and race numerous historic Ducati motorcycles gives the presentation lasting appeal, particularly for players who have a genuine connection to the brand. Single-player racing provides the main foundation, while multiplayer gives players an opportunity to compete against others. Steam achievements and additional platform features provide extra incentives for completion-oriented players. The game works best when approached as a focused racing collection rather than an enormous career simulator. Players who enjoy repeatedly improving lap times, mastering motorcycles, and exploring Ducati's history are likely to extract considerably more value from it than those expecting an expansive progression system filled with many manufacturers and hundreds of unrelated vehicles. Its greatest strength is consequently also its most obvious limitation. Everything is centered on Ducati. Someone interested in motorcycle culture broadly may miss the diversity created by Japanese, British, American, Austrian, and other Italian manufacturers. There is less opportunity to compare radically different engineering philosophies because the roster deliberately represents one company's heritage. However, criticizing the game solely for this restriction would overlook its stated objective. DUCATI - 90th Anniversary was designed specifically as a Ducati celebration, and its concentrated selection gives it an identity that a more generalized motorcycle game could not reproduce as effectively. The historical progression is ultimately what prevents the relatively compact scope from becoming overly repetitive. Moving through several eras creates a sense of technological advancement as older motorcycles give way to increasingly capable machines. Differences in appearance, performance, handling, and historical importance encourage experimentation instead of simply selecting the fastest motorcycle available. Combined with the museum material, this progression gives the player context for the vehicles and transforms the roster into something resembling a playable Ducati exhibition. DUCATI - 90th Anniversary is therefore most successful when judged as a specialized tribute rather than a comprehensive motorcycle racing simulator. Milestone S.r.l. developed and published an experience that combines simulation-influenced riding with a carefully selected collection representing decades of Ducati history. The 39 motorcycles, seven historical eras, mixture of country roads and official circuits, museum information, and licensed presentation create a cohesive package for motorcycle enthusiasts. Its age, relatively modest overall scope, and exclusive focus on one manufacturer prevent it from offering the breadth of larger racing games, but those shortcomings are balanced by a clear identity and genuine appreciation for its subject. For Ducati enthusiasts in particular, it remains an interesting interactive tour through the manufacturer's past and racing legacy. Rating: 8/10
