Try Out That CLK Before You Buy!

Played on Xbox, Mercedes-Benz World Racing was most impressive. The biggest thing was, well the environments and tracks were damn big. So damn big that when the aerial view of one snowy track came up I thought I was seeing some kind of map of the entire WORLD. You know, like the ones where they show you multiple tracks at a time and you can zero in on the one you want to race? But, this was just a bird's-eye view of the track I was zipping around, and let me tell you it was impressive from the ground as well. TDK indicates this will be out in the Fall for multiple next-gen platforms, but the control on Xbox felt out of whack. Car choices rock, with not only the current models but the classics available to race. With tighter controls, this will be a driving game that lives up to the standards of its German-engineered license.
