Does Exactly What It Sets Out To Do

Ever wished you owned a farm? Had lots of cows to milk, sheep to sheer, horses to...horse. Ever wished you had a huge expanse of barren muddy land to stare at, as you walk out of your damp cottage and breathe in that fine air of horse manure? If the pastoral lifestyle appeals, but you don’t have access to vast tracts of land or simply want the experience without the physical strain, then this game is for you. With Farming Simulator 2011 you can perform all actions most commonly performed on farmland, while still maintaining that 2pm wake up time that you do because you were up all night.

If you consider driving a brand new combine harvester around a field expanse about 3 km long an udder (get it?) pleasure, rather than a chore dreamt up by the dark lords of the underworld, then who am I to judge?

The experience is mostly that; driving tractors, tilling fields and generally maintaining your land for the next harvest, for if you fail you do not eat. More budding, psychotic players would probably attempt to ram the tractor into a cow. You’ll be happy to know this has no effect.

Surprisingly it’s a rather graphically nimble game, despite the premise. Graphics are detailed but outdated. Most of the farming equipment and models are well detailed and accurate to equipment used in real life. Additionally, the structures within the game also have a gentle aesthetic appeal.

Pro's: Surprisingly high level of detail on the equipment.

Con's: Dated graphics, inaccurate collisions.

Conclusion: It's farming. If you enjoy simulated tractor experiences, then this is a must have! Otherwise consider something else.
