Ford Mustang: The Legend Lives

The game features 40 playable Ford Mustang vehicles, including production, concept, and racing models, ranging from 1964 to 2005. The game includes 22 race tracks set across seven U.S. cities, including Chicago, Miami, New York City, and San Francisco. The game has three single-player modes: Career, Arcade, and Challenge. In Career mode, the player creates a custom Ford Mustang with which to race against others. For winning races, the player receives money that can be used to upgrade parts of the vehicle. Arcade mode features various races, most of which are time challenges. In Challenge mode, the player competes against other drivers in various racing events, which include time challenges, and driving through gates without crashing while rival drivers attempt to disrupt the player's goal. The game also features several two-player modes. ==Reception==

The game received "mixed" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Heather Newman of Detroit Free Press reviewed the Xbox version and believed that the vehicles did not drive like real Mustangs. However, she noted that the controls felt decent and that the game had a fair amount of entertainment. Brent Soboleski of TeamXbox praised the Career mode and the abundance of vehicles and race tracks, but criticized the game's lack of Xbox Live and customizable soundtracks, two features that were present in the game's predecessor, Ford Racing 3. Mike Willcox of The Sydney Morning Herald criticized the game's replay value, outdated graphics, mediocre soundtrack, and poor physics simulation. He also noted no car damage penalties for driving carelessly. ==See also==
