The players will be able to hammer this variety of Volvo cars around two highly detailed and realistic tracks."Volvo - The Game gives us an opportunity to introduce the Volvo S60 Concept to a much wider target group. In an impassioned way and in an unusual environment we are able to expose the interior and exterior design of Volvo cars. As an extra bonus we also have the opportunity to show the players how we have worked in a focused way over the years to enhance and develop our Scandinavian design", says Michael Persson, Director Global Marketing Communication at Volvo Cars."To work with such a professional team as SimBin's has been a real pleasure for us", he adds."When Volvo Cars asked us if we were able to develop a Volvo racing game for PC, suitable for a wide audience and including the new S60 Concept car, we picked up on the challenge straight away, says Henrik Roos, SimBin Studios CEO. "Especially since it was Volvo Cars located in Sweden that was asking. Two Swedish brands that join forces sounded like a perfect match to us".As in all games developed by SimBin this game will deliver a great experience in sound and detail with a fun and challenging game as a cherry on the cake. The game comes with three difficulty levels to appeal to a broad audience, from new comer to the experienced gamer.As an extra feature Volvo - The Game includes leader boards that will be published on Volvo Cars website (www.volvocars.com) with competitions and prices to be won when the game is released.

mojoman Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I did also play the original Volvo Game for the old XBOX, but i do have to say: I did like it... there were alot games which were not that good.But SIMBIN roxxx! The did "Race-Pro" and that's just an awesome racing game and therefore i am really looking forward to this. I hope it will be on the XBOX360, free to download via xbox live, but it could also be on PC (no Problem, i got a Windows Partition on my Macbook Pro)Really looking forward to this!
