After BMW’s M3 Challenge made by Blimey! and the Lexus IS F simulator based on rFactor, Mercedes joins the bandwagon by releasing a game along with their new CLC 350 road car.
The 103mb game developed by Team6 features the Mercedes CLC 350 in several colors which can be raced on several fictional tracks located in London. You can either race against the AI or submit your time to the online leaderboard to win a real test drive.
The Dream Testdrive turns into a nightmare immediatley though as Mercedes’ game is nothing like the two mentioned examples above. The game comes with fixed resolution at 1024×786, mediocre graphics and physics and extremely stupid AI. Cockpit view? Not existent. If you like arcade fun or consider yourself to be a die hard Mercedes fan you should definitely try it though.

not really interesting compared to the BMW and Lexus effort.
This is more like on of these budget games people purschase at the exit of a supermarket.
You would expect more from a company like Mercedes.

If I were Mercedes, I’d be ashamed to have my name associated with this. Reminds me of the Ford games, complete crap at bargain bin prices.

Lets have a look…
$50k,..272Hp. It is a car for Paris Hilton wannabees who need something to to play on their pink laptops,..while sipping on a Macchiato at Starbucks. Purpose gentleman,..who would waste their time putting it into Gmotor for a sim as good as IS-F or M3. It would do nothing to sell this particular car,..as the people who would buy it,..are too busy chasing people of the same gender to play a game. My hat is off to the creators of this title,..they most likely made 100k or more for this,..bet Mercedes is patting them on the back for it as well.

Brand new SimBin title comes out this week of the STCC and they had to take the Merc name off the car as they wouldnt allow it in their racing simulation which is a proper racing game!
