    I REALLY like this one. Its more than a hover space craft race thing. Which of course it is. But the added weapon elements, and extras make it quite intense if you really want to go full on. Race, crash into, blow up and destroy etc opponents and aim to win as well. Great! The graphics are pretty good, should get good results even with a low end graphics card.

    This game really has the feel of star wars pod racing. You can pick up power-ups that can affect the gameplay of the match. It can get a little frustrating in the begging to drive each vehicle. The graphics are alright and fun to look at. The opponents can be very stupid at times and run into the walls. The game is a good arcade racer with potential to be alot of fun. I would recommend this game to any racer that likes having power-ups to blow the competition away. Its a good game but can be…

    The controller bindings are terrible. I was forced to steer, accelerate, and brake, all on the left joystick. Setting up different buttons did not help. This game would be playable if the controls were updated to work better with the common Xbox controllers. Graphics were alright, and I would probably leave this installed for a time killer game, but the controls ruined it for me. Looked like a decent Wipeout clone. :/

    If you want to know what this game is all about think... Star Wars Episode one... not not the original Star Wars from the 1970's, but the new Episodes... the one with Jar Jar Binks and the underwater world of amazement.. Think Young Anakin and his flying pods... This game tries to emulate that feeling.. and it manages to at the very least be as good as the First Episode of the new Star Wars trilogy.. provided you think Episode one was garbage like 99% of the free world... You get behind the…

    Racing with a bit of shooting. Pretty shallow, only 6 levels that're very mediocre. Pick one of 3 vehicles each one with different stats like firepower, speed, handling and acceleration. Overall rather bad so skipping is your best bet.

    Avoid like the plague. It's very bland and generic. It controls like crap. You often come to complete stops. All the tracks except one are locked and I couldn't even beat that first one. It's just incredibly tough and your blaster is totally underpowered. Probably the worst 3d racer I've ever played.

    Good god, I was hoping this would be a good, fun racing game, but god was I wrong. This feels like one of those games where you actually have to cheat, or just have the planets align perfectly so luck sides with you to give you at least sixth place. I'll try to explain myself, here. A.I.M. Racing is a mess all because of two aspects. The controls, and the ship stats. Each ship has individual stats to give a different play style to how you race, or at least I'm sure that was the original…

    woah this game is tough Its a great game well optimized (can run on the worst rotten potatoes) and has a real arcedy vibe. I played very similar games on machines and had fun. This was no different you travell at high speeds knocking on your opponents weird ass car and collect powerups ranging from afterburner time (nitro) to missiles. The one major con which can throw people off is the control scheme for keyboards. Its just not good for the mechanisms. You can change it but there are too many…

    Pod racing without any annoying kids! The awkwardly named A.I.M. racing is a wipeout style racing game where you pilot a hovercraft around a series of race tracks. There are power ups and game modes but it's mostly bland and forgetable Good -feels kind of fast sometimes -I think we all want more wipeout style games on steam -has multiplayer Bad -rough round the edges -unbalanced -controls are odd and feel bad -feels mostly slow -tracks not well designed or interesting Not recomended…

    Collision is ♥♥♥♥. AI rubberbands like crazy, and it doesn't go both ways. Things the AI can do with some ships, they cant do to you. AI will not attack each other, but if you are in front of them they will hunt you down. The concept is fun and interesting, but there are so many problems that I never felt like I was having more fun, then frustration.

    Let's turn an RPG into a racer! Yep believe it or not. This is what happened. A.I.M Racing is a follow on in the series of 'A.I.M' (not yet ported to steam) and 'A.I.M 2' which can be found here... http://store.steampowered.com/app/289180/ Both of which I had never heard of before. Basically the story set up in these versions is that mankind was playing around with artificial intelligence and creating mobile war machines called 'gliders' which were in turn controlled by artificial brains in…

    I would prefer to play the RPG that this is linked to rather than the racing game that came after it. Played through a few championship matches before giving up. I like different weapons slots for different pick ups, sadly I was having trouble getting this to work with a 360 controller all that well. I didn't really like the feel of the vehicles, I know they are hover based, but it would still be good to have some greater feelings of inertia and a center of mass on the vehicles somewhere so…

    A.I.M. Racing, developed by SkyRiver Studios and published by Fulqrum Publishing, is a futuristic combat racing title that blends high-speed anti-gravity racing with weapon-driven chaos, wrapped in a distinctly early-2010s sci-fi aesthetic. Set on the desolate planet Polygon-4, the game frames its races as trials conducted by autonomous artificial intelligences known as AIMs, machines originally created for military research that now endlessly compete to refine their own performance. While the…

    A.I.M. Racing is an ancient game from 2010. It's a whopping 13 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. This is a Chinese…

    So, I've been doing the same two races over and over and always get the first place, but I don't seem to unlock anything new. Am I done with the game? Was that it? I don't know, but I'm also too lazy too look it up online. Anyway, the game is a cheap Star Wars Episode 1 Racer Knock-off, but it's not even mediocre. Even though I got it for cents, I would not recommend it.

    A.I.M. Racing is one of those games that are reminiscent of the "racing with weapons" games like popular titles such as the Mario Kart series. A.I.M. Racing is a fast paced racing game where you obviously fight for first place using weapons such as mines, rockets and a default gun or laser shooter. There are also boosters that improve your handling, speed, and damage. You can also make your ship jump to overtake opponents or avoid obstacles and projectiles. You also have to finish first…

    After 14 years, I was able to complete this childhood goldmine. It took me a long time before I uncovered this game due to me rage quitting and not writing the name of the game on a piece of paper. Is this nostalgia bias, most probably, but I think it holds up pretty well to this day. The days of Vista will not be forgotten.

    Not very playable with a controller / flight-stick due to the hard-coded non-remappable throttle & steering... Rather disappointed with this game as such.

    at first i do not really write these. First no to barely any explanation. i need to map out what key is where cause azerty keyboard, tried playing on the original keybindings but is was so weirdly placed for me. had to use direction keys. controls were onresponsive. There is no handbreak what is mostly my favorite in racing games and stoping/ slowing down made me so good as stop. i would not recommended it for whipeout, NFS,... fans If you want to take some time into it and play it with friends…

    First time I've ever played this game was around 2010. My younger self really loved it and surprisingly after 13 years I still really love it. Yes, it has some flaws such as unbalanced ships or some OST errors. The ship designs are unique and the maps are actually decent and decorated nicely. For a 2007 game, the graphics and colors are pleasing to the eye. I don't recommend it for everyone, but for it's price I consider it to be a great game.

    Good game. Especially for the price. Pretty nice race, simple and arcade at a minimum level of difficulty and terribly hardcore on the next three. Nice graphics, especially considering the year the game was released, but, unfortunately, not very optimized. A wide selection of gliders that open along the way and significantly differ in speed / maneuverability / strength / weapons.

    Just a goofy little racing game. Play it with a controller for maximum enjoyement. It just isn't the same on a mouse and keyboard. Not the best racing game out there, but I enjoyed it so it gets a thumbs up from me.

    They should give this game a remastered version and fix controller support then it would be an amazing AG racing game it is good already but can feel a bit slow on some tracks a few texture improvements here and their full gamepad support and a speed increase and it would be a truly great game..
