-----MY FAQ-----
Hello everyone, I'm back, and I have created another FAQ, this is for Ducati
World. I made it because I love this game, and it is cool. This is the forth
FAQ I have written, my others are: Tenchu 2 (Walkthrough/FAQ), This Is
Football (FAQ) and Syphon Filter 3 (Walkthrough/FAQ). All of them I update
often. I can't really type that fast, as I am only 14 years old, so it took
me 4 days to write this, but I'm not on the computer all the time
-----CREDITS-----
Well, I have decided to make this section here as well as at the end of this
FAQ as no one reads the bottom part of the FAQ, anyway, here are the credits:
-Aaron Baker: That's me, for creating this FAQ
-wayalla: For the review (Which is me anyway)
-CJayC: For making the best FAq site ever
-gamewinners.com: For some cheats
-gameskanker.com: Also for cheats
-xplodercodes.net: I couldn't get any, but thanks anyway
-Jarrod Baker: My brother, for letting me use the playstation all this time
to get all the information for this FAQ
-rashadburnett@hotmail.com: For the Gameshark code
-----BACK OFF-----
This FAQ is copyright ABaker and can't be sold, put in a magazine or anything
like that! If it is on your site, please leave it in it's original form, but
it shouldn't be on anyones site unless listed.
This FAQ (C) Aaron Baker. I will update the list when someone asks me for it
and I say yes. If you are reading this from gamefaqs.com, neoseeker.com,
cheatcc.com or psx.ign.com (gamesages), thats alright, but if your reading it
from a different site, please email me.
-----JUST TAKE IT-----
Please, all these websites can have my FAQ on there website without permision
from me, all the rest I would like you to please email me asking if you can
have it.
www.gamefaqs.com (Well of course)
www.neoseeker.com (My username there is Hyperactive)
www.cheatcc.com (Cheat Code Central)
www.gamesages.com (ign)
www.psx.ign.com (again, IGN)
-----HELP ME-----
Please, if you see this on someones site who isn't listed above, could you
pleases send me an email about it because it shouldn't be there. If a website
asks me, and I accept, there name will go above. It will be delt harshly.
-----UPDATES-----
Usually, I make my FAQs a week each update, but I have found I never stick to
that, so I have decided I will just do it 1 every month, that is what I'm
doing with my other FAQs now, so I will do it with this one as well.
-----DATE-----
As you might know, I live in Australia. But I will try to do the date in
American. Lets just say it is January the 1st in Australia, I will make it
easier by just putting it in American, but the Australian actual date, it
might not be the same date as America, but that is the best I can do, sorry
for any inconvenience.
=======================================================================
1: The Controls
=======================================================================
This section is about all the controls of the game:
In game:
D-Pad up: The only use that I have come across for this is that it can stop
you in a wheelie, this can come in very handy because you might crash doing a
whellie and with Up, you can stop it. It does nothing else in the racing
part. Most people think it gives you a speed burst, but it doesn't.
D-Pad Down: One of the better things of the game, the front wheel lifts up
off the ground, like a wheelie and the more you hold down, the higher the
wheel goes.
D-Pad Left: Well, everyone knows that this button when pressed makes you turn
left. Simple as that.
D-Pad Right: Press and hold this button and it will make the motorbike turn
right. As simple as that.
X: The most needed button in the whole Ducati World game. Use this to
accelerate or drive. Hold it down and keep your finger pressed on it if you
want to go faster, or just slightly take it off for a second if you are going
to fast and need to turn a corner.
Square: Use to break, not very often I use this as not all bikes go very fast
at all,only use this if the corner is very sharp and you want to get around
it without crashing. But braking slows you down alot. Just take your finger
off the accelerator if you really need to go around a not so sharp corner as
it doesn't slow you down much and you still wont crah.
Triangle: This button controls the camera view. But you don't really need to
change the view, as the default is the best for racing. The 2 up close ones
are really bad as when you turn a corner sharply or any other way, the screen
follows the guys face which makes the screen go in all directions and you
can't see properly at all. So us ehte default one, It's the best.
O: This button is for reversing, but it can also be used as another brake as
well. If your against a tight wall and need to back away from it to move, use
this button, but I have only used it about twice in the whole time I have
played this game. Use it never, there shouldn't be any time where you need to
use this if you are a good driver. Sometimes, you can drive along the wall if
you are driving slow enough, use this instead of reversing, it is much
quicker. Another bad thing about reversing is that it reverses at about 10
kilometers an hour on the fast bikes. Avoid using reverse.
R1: Use this to look at the bikes behind you, it gives youa view from the
bike of the bike looking behind. Only do this on a straight, never do it on a
shicane or any tight corners as while your doing this (looking behind) you
can't look foward at the same time so you will probably crash. Never use this
if someone is close as it puts major pressure on you knowing that someone is
right there. Only use if they are far back and you want to see how far they
are behind.
R2: A back brake, use combined with Square if you want to slow down really
quickly, for an even quicker stop, hold down R2, Square and O together all at
the same time until you stop. I hardly ever use the back brake.
L1: This only applies if you are using manual transmition, this lowers the
gear level by 1. Use it to change back a gear.
L2: Next gear, use it to change into the next gear, E.G: if you are in gear
3, you press this and it will probably (unless your going to slow) put you in
gear 4. Manual transmition is bad and sluggish, always use Automatic unless
you are used to all the driving games with the Manual Transmition.
Menu:
Basic on all games, X is to select, Triangle is to go back a screen.
Also, if you want to, Ducati World can handle Analog, so you can use your
analog controller to control the bike if you want to, press the Analog button
on your controller to use it.
=======================================================================
2: Game Modes
=======================================================================
in Ducati World, there is 2 different game modes you can choose form on the
main Ducati World menu. they are Quick Race and Sucati life.
Quick race is just a simple race where you can do a time trial, challenge a
friend or just do a single race against the computer. Always alot of fun and
you don't compete for money, but if you win in the first 3 races in both of
the classes, 50s and Monsters, you unlock more tracks to play and more bikes.
Ducati life puts you in the real thing, buy bikes, sell bikes, get licences,
buy protection and race in over 100 races. The amin game mode, this is fun
and frilling.
Get a best lap for all the tracks available to you. the first lap, will be
slow, because you have to start stationary form the line, but when on the
second lap, you will be at a good speed once you cross the line. As you
progress, you laps will get better and better and see how good you are.
Single Race
-----------
Battle the computer in a race with 5 other people besides you. Come first to
unlock more tracks to play and earn special bonuses at the end. Good for just
practicing your skills before racing properly in Ducati Life. I always do a
single race to improve my skills.
2 Player
--------
Challenge your friend, brother, anyone at all to a game of Ducati World
Racing. To make it fair, at the start they only give you two bikes to choose
form, one with about the Max speed of 200 and the other with a max speed of
about 210, so roughly the same. This avoids 1 bike being to fast for the
other bike which will mean that a player would win by heaps if all bikes
wern't the same speed or around that. That would be unfair. You can also
choose how many laps there is to complete, anywhere form 1 lap (2 minutes) to
25 laps (50 minutes). the 50 minutes would be a massive endurance race,
which could get boring.
Load
----
Load a game from your memeory card, usually your data is already loaded or
you mioght want to load your progress, hey wait, that automatically loads it
as well, so why is this here.
Save
----
You need to come here to save your progess in the game. you even have to come
here from the Ducati Life menu, just return to the Main Menu and go save, you
don't lose your data. press X to save and overite you data and it will save
your progress.
Progress
--------
Look at how far you are in the game, that is in the Single Race mode. Get
first to complete a course, but you have to do it in both types.
Rewards
-------
Look at all the rewards you have earn't, I haven't got anything in here yet,
so I don't know what the rewards are.
Change all your Controls to the commands that you wish, it could be easier
for you to change your controls if you are having trouble with the Default
ones. Just Cycle down and highlight the action you want to change and press
the button to what you want to change it to. I still think the default
controls are the best, so stick to that. But everyone is different. Also,
from this screen, you can change the 2nd players controls, but you must have
his control though. Also, this game is analog capatable and just press The
button on your controller to light up your analog. This will become your
steering now.
Enter Your Name:
Put in your name, and when in the race, once you have finished, it will come
up with your NAme in the position you came with the best lap, total time and
how amny points you have got for the series, if you are racing in one.
Game Setup:
What you can do here is control the Sound Effects for the game, highlight the
bar with the pointed up Triangle on it and use Left to make the sound lower
and right to make it higher. Same with the music, right to make it higher,
left to makes it lower. I usually don't ahve any music on, but your not me so
you will have a different opinion. Next, in here is the steering sensitivety,
E.G: If it is up really high, in game, if you press Right, it will steer very
quickly right. well, it is hard to explain.
Screen Setup:
Basically, adjust your screen for the game. Use the D-Pad up, down, left
right to move it, X to accept changes, Triangle to cancel all changes made
and O to return it to it's normal position but stay in that screen (Default).
Records:
View the top times made by you, they have to be saved though each time you
get a new high score, otherwise they will be erased, well, at least the ones
you haven't saved before.
Credits:
View the great people who made this game possible.
Thanks people.
=======================================================================
5: Starting Ducati Wolrd- buying a bike
=======================================================================
Well, to start off in Ducati Life, of course you need to by a bike. Highlight
'Bikes' on the Ducati Life menu and press X. Look at all the different types
of bikes, there is: Vintage, Modern, Dealership, Magazine and Classifieds.
You only start with 10,000 so use it wisely. The last three are a bit to
expensive for you at the moment, how much are they! Anyway, Vintage is a bit
better, but start off with the Modern bikes, Click on Monster and see if you
can get a cheap deal on one of them> I bought a Monster bike for about 8,000
and it is good. See if you can get something between 5,000 and about 9,000.
Once bought something, you can now race, but not all modes are available to
you as you need to get your lincence and race in the better tournaments and
win more money, or you have to get the right type of bike to compete in the
mode. If you have the MOnster, you can race in the Mordern races or the One
Day races, they are the easiest. The easiest races for you without a lince is
the One day races, this gives you alot of practice on a wide selection a
courses that you can choose to race on. All slow bikes race on these and with
your monster, you should win by a few secons if you haven't crashed at all.
Moonster bikes are the perfect, cheap bike for beginners and it was the first
bike I ever bought, once you get your lincence and race in different races
and win, you get more money. But stick with your monster at the start.

Vinatge is a mix of different motorbikes in each Era, E.G 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s.

10: Protection
=======================================================================
Leather:
The leather is like armour for you because you don't crash as often. Once you
do crash though, you get up faster. Here is all the prices of Leather.
This sections is just a little section about each of the tracks and some
hints how to complete it.
----------------
Thunderpass
----------------
As easy as pie, a very easy track to do indeed. Most corners aren't that
tricky and the track is the easiest in the game. If you can't get around this
without crashing, you will defenetly fail at all the other tracks. The only
time I could see that someone would have trouble on this is if they were
using a really fast bike (Max speed over 190km/h). But basically, this is
sinch.
-----------------
Greenrock TT
-----------------
Now, we come to a track that has a few kinks in it that makes it hard to get
aroun dand maintain your speed at full, espicially with a very fast bike.
Zoom around the first 5 corners simply, but don't go too fast, slow down into
the bridge and another word of advice, DON'T go too fast near the end of the
track, if you do, you will do a big jump and stack (nice to watch, hey).
-----------------
Neon City
-----------------
How easy, simple. Just fly around this track, I never have any problems with
the corners, try to never break at all, you will never need to, well it
depends on what type of bike you have got. I can always get a good time on
this track, and anyone should be able to without too much hassle. Another
great track for beginners to improve there skills on. So, in conclusion, a
great track for getting alot of speed on.
-----------------
Highland drive
-----------------
This track looks very cool, because it isn't like a road and the track looks
brand new everytime. This is one of my favourites. It is hard to get around
without crashing, but no-one is perfect, hey, I kidding.
Here is a cheats section. All these cheats were in my playstation cheats book
at home. All cheats I think were gotten from Gamewinners

Gameplay:
Nice any easy to control, easy to corner without to many problems, turning
good is usually a problem on games but on Ducati world, it is easy. The
controls are fine and it is easy to use the controls. There is 3 ways you can
brake in this game, so they really must want you to brake alot.
Anyway, the game is fun to play and is like Gran Turismo in it's set out with
all the Lincences and the races to play and buying all the bikes.
Graphics:
Graphics are suprisingly good, they have captured the road features good and
the scenery looks marvelous. The bikes are also detailed as well, when they
show your bike at the end of the race. In conclusion, the graphics are very
top for a playstation game. They have made alot of tracks, all with great
graphics.
Sound:
A little background music for you, but I don't like it because i love all the
sound effects of the motorbikes. The sound effects are great and the rev
sounds like a real motorbike, espicially at the start when everyone is
pushing there bikes to the limit to get the best start. Also you hear the
bang when someone hits the wall or the squeak when you break. So the Sound
Effects are great and the background music gets in the way.
Other:
I like Ducati World because it's fun and enjoyable to play, it has a Gran
Turismo like setting but with Motorbikes. You can buy bikes, get your 4
lincences, by some protection (helmets and leather), upgrade your bike with
lots of extras and race in over 100 different races. I also like it because
off hills you can do jumps, sometimes you land it and other times you don't,
oh well, if you stack it you still get some fun out of it by watching the
crash! Bad points about it is there seems to be a lack of bikes for sale,
E.G: there is 10 50s league races to race in, but there is only one 50s bike
available to you and that is the worst bike ever that only does 75
kilometers, 80 max, and it's hard when your facing motorbikes that do 50
kilometers more than you. The 50s era is all the bikes invented then, and
they all go very slow.
Races:
There is all different races for you to compete in. The most popular is the
Vintage, that comprises of 50s era, 10 races. 60s era, 10 races, and both
the 70s and 80s have 10 races each and then they have a multi era league with
a few races. That equals 42 races so far. Next, they have got a Modern
league, that comprises of: Monster, (10 races) Sports Touring (8) Super Sport
(8) and finally Super Bike (8). Now that is a lot of races, but still they
have got a special mode with the amout of races Vary. My favourite special
race is called 'Now and Then'. IT has the Cuccilo bike which was invented in
the 50s, and the MH900 which is new, it has the 50s bike which is very slow
against a very fast bike which makes it prove how much motorbikes have
changed.
This Review is also on the 'revies' section for this game. It was written by
me, but my board user name is wayalla, even check, if you click on that, it
will come up as real name 'Aaron Baker' and the same E-Mail adress.

14:Hints and tips
=======================================================================
=====BASIC=====
-At the start of a race, just hold down X as hard as you can to get a good
start, but they all do it too.
-Single races and one day races are a good way to improve your skills, but if
you win the one day race, you only get 1,000.
-On most easy course, if you hdon't have a really fast bike, it is better to
stick to the inside of the track.
-You don't always need to break, sometimes you just have to let go of
accelerate instead.
-Try to not look at the map to see how far people are behind you, as you
could get pressured and might lose.
-Try to never go to the full speed limit of the bike unless you are a king at
Ducati World Racing.
-You can have unlimited laps on time trial so you can perfect the track as
much as possible before racing.
-When racing in a league, you can warm up on the track to get ready to race
on it, this is good for practice.
=====CRASHING=====
-Don't worry if you crash, just try to catch up and get back into a good
position if possible, the playastation crashes as well you know.
-Try not to make contact with any other bikes on the course as it usually
involves you crashing instead of them.
-If you reall know you are going to crash, try using all the break buttons,
for example Square,Reverse,Front break.
-Try to avoid getting your bike fully in the air, but in some places you have
to.
-If your bike gets in the air, just don't accelerate or turn and try to land
straight.
=====LICENCE=====
Actually, I have already listed all the hints and tips for all the licence
tracks in the 'Licence Walkthrough' section (6). Just type in Licence in the
find box (CTRL + F), you might have to go through a few first in the top
paragraphs. Anyway, all you need to know is in that section, enjoy. I wrote
this here because I might get a few e-mails saying that I missed licence
tips.
