Ben Hur: Blood of Braves is a strange racing game developed by Microids that faithfully recreates the ancient world and its number one sport and entertainment of that era, chariot racing. When I first heard about this title, I was extremely interested but also extremely apprehensive because the developers were going out on a limb by making a racing game based in the ancient world. With such a wild premise, Microids took a gamble that would either pay off or not.
