60 of 102 · most liked firstSome games take hours before a decision can be made. Some take just minutes. Some games are glorious. Some... ... some are just hideous. Ducati World Championship is the most putrid, plagueridden piece of decomposed penile tissue I have had the misfortune to review. I wish that was hyperbole. It's the gaming equivalent of lutefisk. I'm sure someone, somewhere enjoys this game, that someone probably lives in a dark cave, and lives on a diet of raw fish. They probably want to know what I have…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to find a pc game that ran on legacy hardware and had single pc splitscreen, but after playing motocross madness and road rash, I felt this game came short in a lot of areas. I remember the controls playing like super hang on and everything else about it just wasn't worth the 5 dollar price tag. If you are looking for some weekend fun you can grab this for $1 or $.50 on the christmas deal, but buy it regular price and you will be disappointed.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend this game. Graphics and control suck. Not fun. Hard to configure controller. Even for $1.24 it wasn't worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute crap. Not even worth the 5 bucks. Naw, better to just save up for a better racing game than this junk.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, it is bad as it looks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could of been better absalute rubish do not buy!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once in awhile comes an artist with a vision so distinct that it has the power to crystallise the voice of an entire generation. Artematica, creator of Ducati World Championship, is such an artist. Ducati World Championship is a game that innovates the racing game genre. The gameplay is simple to comprehend yet truly shows and rewards mastery of the gameplay mechanics, with crisp and fluid controls to boot. The graphics, while seemingly outdated, provide a powerful and immersive asesthetic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 not online multiplayer, hardest racing game i've ever played, worth every penny i paid for it i paid literally a penny for it so there's that
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥!~ nuff said
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is gloriously bad, cannibal holocaust bad, if anything, it's worth having just for the sake of saying to others "I own it!" (and the ost, if you enjoy Gothic Metal)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I'm a ducati fan, but this game just sucks. Don't buy this, go get a better racing game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yeesh, good thing this was on sale. couldnt get past the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ engine noises.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend you don't get this ever at all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended at all. It isn't a realistic game, not for its graphics nor for its phisycs. I also had some issues to make the game run with a gamepad. I can't say much more, I just played a couple of races but it was enough to realize that this it is a game that doesn't worth to pay for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are you completely bored and don't like interacting with friends? Then this game will help you pass the time. I've played 0.6 hours so far (weird way of writing time to be honest) and I'm probably never gonna play it again but I had fun. For 74p i cant even buy a bottle of coke, yet this was all I paid for his game. Probably wondering if you can play it from a remote control and you'd be right. So far I've figured out square is accelerate, X, O, Triangle and L1 seem to be brake and R2 makes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is probably my favourite video game ever made, whether it is the dynamic lighting models during the daytime races or the sheer ammount of adreniline that gets pumping when you are in first place, this game is the go to game for all your needs whether it be psycological problems or anything else this game is the game for you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game, best game, not lame, buy game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ducati World Championship is an ancient game from 2006. It's a whopping 18 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. The game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What we have here is a pretty cute clone of Motor Racer with licensed Ducati motorcycles and music by Lacuna Coil (ten tracks total). The original Motor Racer mechanics is still fine, Lacuna Coil adds quite a lot to the atmosphere (not really a fan of this kind of music, but it feels totally great in things like AMVs and video games), there are some game modes to choose from (single race, career, championship and even multiplayer)... In other words, like I've said, it's a pretty cute Motor…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing, the multiplayer is so fun when you get 8 friends together, and the best part is that you can play online across the web with people from all over the globe!!!!WOW Im really anticipating the new DLC pack which comes out after new years, I have heard that it adds 11 new maps and 50 new bikes which all together adds hundreds of great, action filled high emersion hours. The story of this game is riviting, you start of with 10 dollars but you go and race and become the world…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing through this game gave me a beautiful sense of what it means to play a truly legendary game, I played through without stopping because I was so emmersed 10/10 would lose sense of reality again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best christmas present I ever got
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best simulation game ever, they really nailed the sound effects on the bikes. It really feels like you are participating in the Ducati World Championship, a must buy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is actually the best game ever, you have a british coach, and i mean you get to jam to the best game sound track of all time stictly better than anything out there. i mean would by for full price . while your at it buy it for all your friends so they can enjoy it. it even has local multiplayer so i mean cant beat that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ummmmm. 0.3 hours trying to get it to work. was. enough. to give me. refried beans. for brains.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEST FIDDY CENTS SPENT EHVAR. For those having trouble running the game, open up the local files, go to properties of ducati.exe and set the compatibility mode to XP and check run as administrator. I do wish that the analog triggers of my controller would work as a bind, but that's my only complaint.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS IT DOES NOT WORK ! YOU WILL WASTE MONEY ! THE PLAYED HOURS I HAVE IS FROM ME TRYING TO MAKE THIS GAME WORK AN IT WILL NOT ! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IT IS A W. A. S. T. E. its broke. no not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For an older game the gameplay is really good. I really like the racing and the bikes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like I am really on a Ducati! Lol Ducati rules xD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty funny but sadly im bad for this kinda games xD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should burn in hell. No one should buy this game, that aside, the gameplay is superb. Driving the motorbike feels like a dream, you know one of those dreams where you feel like your moving through molasses? The soundtrack is on par with such titles as Chrono Trigger and the early Final Fantasies, you have to love the same nauseating track blaring at you every race. But, by far, the most impressive thing about this game has to be its textures. The grass looks sooo real, as if you were…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend gift me this game and this game gave me a cancer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so terrible, so unplayable, that it's offensive. This game was barely passable in the year it came out, 06. I didn't just uninstall it, I had to put 2gb of random ♥♥♥♥ on my hard drive just to make sure it was truley overwritten and gone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Miss advertised, looks nothing like trailer, runs slow, very laggy, needs XP compatibility set to the ducatti.exe, terribly optimized. Utter garbage and a blatant lie from the pictures and videos. Falsely advertised. DO NOT BUY. My System Specs: - Power Supply: Corsair TX 850w PSU - CPU: AMD Piledriver FX-8 8350 4.00GHz @ 4.60GHz (Overclocked) Eight Core CPU - Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula Z 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard - Cooler: Antec 920 Kuhler CPU Cooler - RAM: TeamGroup…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing this for the first time in 2019, though I have owned it for at least a decade I think. Is it a good game? No. Was it ever a good game? No. In 2019, XBox controller works, but with odd bindings that cant be easily changed. Requires later versions of Windows to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode. Graphics were not good even by 2007 standards. This feels and plays like a mid tier late 90s mototrcycle racer. Is it an utter trash game? Subjective, but I would say no it isnt utter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what a pile of Sh-t game it does not work on windows at all and tbh steam should kill this game on the store but they wont
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ a to go forward, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cant even handle this game I almost cryed tyring to play it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst buy of my live game wouldn't even start (had to manually set the game's .exe to open on xp compability) controls are just stupid (you can't set a controller either,at least not mine which is not the xbox one) graphichs are awful gg wp
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Upon starting this god awful game you are greeted with terrible graphics and a wierd way to navigate the menu. Even with the graphics on high this game is still terrible. In the bio of this game they granted you multiplayer, well guess what F****** NOPE BRAH. I'm sorry if you spent 50 cents or $5.00 on this game because this is really a complete and utter waste of money. -100000/10 Would not Bang
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is ♥♥♥♥, Do not buy it under any circumstances. Instead, go ahead and put moto GP 2013 on your wishlist, it will go on sale eventually
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love ducatis get this ♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game. Sure a bit older, but works great with Gamepad, decent graphics for being older, nice controls and speed and handling, plus a large variety of courses. I suggest playing Career Mode first, Quick Race is fun but it takes time to learn the fast bikes and handling. Nice small game though and easy install.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gifted this to my friend, and apologized.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →C R A P thats all i can say
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game may be old with quite outdated graphics, but I have found it a nice distraction when playing with an Xbox 360 Controller. You will unlock new bikes and drivers via career mode, and all the other modes are interesting in their own ways. Yes, the controls are a little touchy, and a few of the bike setup options seem to make very little difference. The graphics are not pretty or up to date. But with that said, I've been having great fun with it. In career mode, you have driver health and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4-20/10 skyrim can suck my ♥♥♥♥ its that ggoood, the swag meter is at level 720
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is, just bad. Its like a reject xbox game. The graphics are poor, animation is jerky and gameplay is just lackluster in every regard. Dont waste any amout of money on this, get yourself a decent racing game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ducatti World Championship is frankly an embarrassment to everyone involved, Lol the makers now make iOS and Facebook games. I would put this game up there with Bad Rats as it as a great gift to give to your friends that you dont really like but feel obligated to get a gift....or if you just want to be a massive troll and give someone a terrible game they can't get out of their library.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is atrocious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very enjoyable. The multiplayer online experience is the best experience I've ever had in a game. I love the shine of the motorbikes and the ducti. I recommend this to absolutely everybody, no matter what game you like to play. This game also has FPS features, like shooting and First Person Perspective.
