Lego Drome Racers works in Surround ... OOTB

[Paddy the wak]

Hello,
Lego Drome Racers works in Surround ... out of the Box ! ....
All the surround resolutions are available in the options menu.

Its a kids game really ... but good for fun.

The FOV is very slightly zoomed in but the game is very playable ...

It is an EA game ... but I can't find it listed on their web site.

Cheers,
Paddywak

EDIT :
Just found this ...
It isn't on the EA web site but you can see it here ...

EDIT #3 : You can get it very cheap here ...

Edit #5 :Now that I have had a few goes at it ... here's what I think...

This is game with good race-battles .... and most of all... fun!
The game offers 3 different modes of play :

Quick Race-Random Track and Vehicle
Arcade-Chose your track and Vehicle
Career-Work through the Multi-Challenge Races to win the Drome Racers cup!

There are also 3 different types of terrain and vehicles:

-Street
-Off-Road
-Drag Race

The drag race.... as with NFS-Underground ... is different. The cars are not automatic transmission, so don't just hold down the accelerator ... your engine will blow.

On the whole the game play is a little confusing at first ... but I soon got the hang of it... and it is good fun. !

I'm running it at 3840x1024 ... and no problems.

Hello ...

Racer_S at ToCAEDIT... has created a FOV tool for Drome Racers ....

Get it here ... http://toca.game-editing.net/files

It gives a much better FOV for Surround than the OOTB FOV ... but you will probably need to tick the box Lock FOV

Set...

Field of View (FOV): 1
Width Field of View (FOV): 0

Enjoy ...
