  Bahahaha! This game is definately worth 50 cents. No way to exit a race. You use Q to go forward, but the arrow keys to turn. The soundtrack is some orchestral chick rock band. I think their Janitors decided to make a game, and then decided they had better things to do and outsourced this game's development to a couple 8 year olds in somalia, who were using a Pen and paper flipbook made of hippo toenails to program. I've lost more money in my couch than this game cost, and I still would rather have just thrown 50 cents into a river.

  Absolute crap. Not even worth the 5 bucks. Naw, better to just save up for a better racing game than this junk.

  This game is not nearly as bad as everyone says. The handling takes some getting used to, the commentary is best when it's turned off and the game is best played with a 360-pad along with the knowledge that the P-key brings up the in-game menu which you can use to exit or restart races. The game has several modes, including a career mode, championship and a challenge mode. The championship is a pre-determined series of increasingly difficult races, the challenge mode tasks you with performing various timed trials such as wheelies. The most interesting mode however is the career mode, which has you competing in a variety of race types while working your way through several license classes. You get to create your own racer for this mode and you earn new bikes by completing races. These new bikes allow you to enter even more races and once you've completed all of them, you move into the next class - the goal being to eventually win The Race Queen - the girl from the intro. The races can be as simple getting to first place within two laps, to a multi-stage endurance race where your performance carry over between stages, meaning your bike or even your character can become beat up over time. You can enter the pit stop to allow either your character or your bike to recover. You also gain nitro by racing well. Staying on the road gives you a slow but steady build of nitro that you can use when you need a boost, driving outside the road will drain the meter quickly, and performing stunts such as wheelies will make it rise dramatically. The visuals for this game are quite old-fashioned but they did employ the RenderWare engine for the game and it does a good job of maintaining a smooth frame-rate with no pop-ups to be seen anywhere. The stages are pretty varied too, with plenty of locales like arenas, deserts, tropical, mountain- and country-side tracks - and in some of them you can literally see for miles into the background. If you like classic arcade racers (especially those made by Sega and Namco) and don't mind old-school graphics, taking chances with low budget titles and dealing with an initially harsh learning curve - then this game might be for you.

  Well the other reviews were spot on. If you pay a few quid or less than a dollar or whatever then it is to much. From bad graphics engine to poor handling of bikes that have some daft camera angles it is rubbish. I played a very short time, time wasted really, I then removed it from my PC. Would I recommend this? Not at all, it isn't even arcade feeling really, had better graphics on my Vic20! (Well it felt like it). If you want to play a motorbike game then the SBK series is the way to go or the MotoGP series, but stay clear of this, it is a waste of HD space.

  If you are a fan of Ducati and or music buy Lacuna Coil by this when it is on sale. The bikes look nice enough and the tracks are interesting. It just starts to feel the same after a few races. I barely have a bike for 2 races before I'm onto the next bike, so I don't form any attachment. The bikes themselves don't have any upgrades. I finished the Class C championship before writing this review. TIP: You will need to run the exe in compatability mode on most modern PCs

  The game was released 9/6/2006. Given the age and the fact that widescreen wasn't a thing at that time the Steam release has a limited widescreen support up to 1776x1000 16:9. It doesn't look too bad you just have a black frame around your game screen at 1080p. DWC is an arcade racer and by no means a racing sim. I bought it for €1.24 because I'm a Ducati fan. Using ReShade 3.0.7 improves the image quality noticeably. I play it on Win10_64 compatibility set to WinXP_SP3. There's not much to say about gameplay it will keep you entertained for a while. You can use kb/m or a controller - please use a controller. I don't understand why this game has so much bad reviews from people who didn't get the game to run. As I said the procedure to get DWC working is straightforward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LQgr7_2DbA&t=11s I'll give it a 6/10 and you should only buy it when DWC is on sale.
