"Ducati World Championship" ist ein Motorrad-Rennspielen. Das Spiel ist aus dem Jahre 2006 und das sieht man ihm nicht nur an, sondern spürt das Alter in jeder Situation. Das reicht von technischen Problemen über die Fahrphysik bis hin zu Grafik und Sound. Dabei ist die Grundlage gar nicht mal so schlecht. "Ducati World Championship" ist im Kern ein "Motor Racer" Klon mit Ducati-Lizenz. Die Steuerung, aus heutiger Sicht furchtbar nervös und ungenau, war damals zumindest unterer Durchschnitt. Das größte Problem des Titels ist allerdings: man kriegt ihn auf heutigen Systemen kaum zum Laufen. Ich bin auf zwei unterschiedlichen PCs gescheitert. Und selbst wenn man das Spiel zum Laufen kriegt, kann es arge Probleme mit der Kompatibilität mit heutigen Auflösungen geben. Gottseidank habe ich das Spiel schon vor dem Steam-Zeitalter gezockt und kann deswegen auch ein paar Worte zum Spiel selbst verlieren. Wobei es gar nicht so viel zu sagen gibt als: schon damals gab es deutlich bessere Motorrad-Rennspiele. Somit gibt es praktisch keinen Grund, das Spiel heute noch zu zocken.

What we have here is a pretty cute clone of [b]Motor Racer[/b] with licensed [b]Ducati[/b] motorcycles and music by [b]Lacuna Coil[/b] (ten tracks total). The original [b]Motor Racer[/b] mechanics is still fine, [b]Lacuna Coil[/b] adds quite a lot to the atmosphere (not really a fan of this kind of music, but it feels totally great in things like [b]AMV[/b]s and video games), there are some game modes to choose from (single race, career, championship and even multiplayer)... In other words, like I've said, it's a pretty cute [b]Motor Racer[/b] clone. The problem is – [b]Motor Racer[/b] was released in [b]1997[/b], while this one? This one came out in [b]2006[/b]. That's right, folks, you've read it right. What we have here is a clone of [b]1997[/b] game... that came out in [b]2006[/b]. [i]La-da-da-da-dah~ It's the mo*****ckin' D-O-double-G~[/i] ♫ I mean, seriously. When you start [b]Ducati World Championship[/b] for the first time, you begin to feel like you've just being trolled. The game looks like [b]Motor Racer[/b], the game feels like [b]Motor Racer[/b]... and yet, it claims to be from [b]2006[/b]. I don't know who screwed up the timeline this time. [b]Barry Allen[/b], [b]Marty McFly[/b], or [b]Steven Moffat[/b]. But this? This is just wrong. I mean, sure, everybody loves good ol' [b]Motor Racer[/b]. But in [b]2006[/b] we've already got games like [b]MotoGP '06[/b], [b]MotorStorm[/b], [b]Crusty Demons[/b], [b]Jacked[/b] and the others. Having something like [b]Ducati World Championship[/b]? Let's just say it was an instant no. [b]Harley-Davidson[/b] did better in [b]2006[/b]. [b]Kawasaki[/b] did better in [b]2006[/b]. [i]Everybody[/i] did better in [b]2006[/b]. Ten years prior, [b]Ducati[/b]'s game sure had a chance to become a thing. When compared with the first [b]Moto Racer[/b]? [b]Ducati World Championship[/b] feels totally competitive. But in the middle of [b]2000[/b]s, while being compared with the real deal? It's close to impossible to take this title seriously.
Ducati World Championship is an ancient game from 2006. It's a whopping 18 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. The game is broken under Windows 10/11, but you can make it run and avoid the "AVIStreamGetFrameOpen failed!" error by running the game in Windows XP compatibility mode... a hoop, through which, gamers should not be expected to jump. If a game developer wants to keep [i]selling[/i] their game on Steam, they must keep [i]maintaining[/i] their game on Steam. The developers failure to do this is unacceptable. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio, due to the age of the game, it predates the 16:9 widescreen gaming standard established back in 2006. It's possible they're marketing this towards people using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game is being specifically marketed towards people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. It's obviously not going to look right on a modern 16:9 gaming display. The game is incredibly dated, buggy, and unfun to play. There may be some argument that a remaster is in order, but that seems unlikely, and either way, this is not a remaster. It's abandonware. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 13 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Ducati World Championship is relatively expensive for an abandonware nostalgia gouge, at $4 USD, and it's not worth it. The game is just too old, hasn't been modernised. And as the old saying goes, you can't go home again. Even when it was new, this was never a triple-A game. This is the kind of game that went almost directly from the warehouse into the cheap bargain bins at the front of the shop. Now, on Steam, without any modernisation? This is impossible to recommend.

Playing this for the first time in 2019, though I have owned it for at least a decade I think. Is it a good game? No. Was it ever a good game? No. In 2019, XBox controller works, but with odd bindings that cant be easily changed. Requires later versions of Windows to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode. Graphics were not good even by 2007 standards. This feels and plays like a mid tier late 90s mototrcycle racer. Is it an utter trash game? Subjective, but I would say no it isnt utter trash. Id recommend this if youre feeling nostalgic for a different era of gaming; just dont expect anything you wouldnt have had in 1998 except 1080p graphics resolution.
Jogo antigo, do tempo do ronca! Se o preço estiver beeeem em conta leve! É corrida com as motos Ducati, que acho bonitas. Pra rodar usei o modo de compatibilidade, deixei o próprio pc olhar as configurações mais adequadas e funcionou sem maiores problemas. Dá pra passar, afinal é jogo de corrida com veículos estilosos.
