This freeware is dedicated to Volvo's branding. The gameplay is based around a cars racing game. You can choose and drive Volvo cars, but nothing is made to promote their technical caracteristics. if the swedish trademark use to present security concepts, it is not the case here: it is very difficult to control the S60 concept when you drive in the turns.
Thus, this game just customizes on a graphic ground an old 3D race game in order to brand Volvo and some partners. This is just an "associative" Serious Game (No mecanic gameplay or scenario have been designed here in order to present specificities of the swedish cars).

Un Serious Game de type "Associative"

Ce titre gratuit permet à la marque Volvo et ses partenaires de faire la promotion de leurs marques et produits autour d'un gameplay de course automobile. Si l'on conduit ici un véhicule Volvo (que l'on peut choisir parmi plusieurs modèles), rien ne semble pour autant en promouvoir les spécificités techniques. Ainsi, si la marque suédoise se positionne habituellement sur le registre de la sécurité, le jeu n'en fait pas cas. La voiture phare du jeu, la concept S60, donne au contraire l'impression de conduire une savonnette et fait rapidement des sorties de route ou des têtes à queue.
Le jeu se contente donc de reprendre un moteur de course automobile, un peu daté, et d'en faire un habillage dédié. Il s'agit donc d'un Serious Game de type "Associative". C'est-à-dire un jeu où seuls les infographies constituent des supports publicitaires. Par contre, ni les mécaniques de jeu, ni son scénario ne mettent en relief les spécificités des produits comme cela serait le cas dans un Serious Game de type "Illustrative" ou "Demonstrative".
