Is the excitement of stealing cars and running people over losing it's groove? If so, check out "Volvo Drive for Life", a video game that Volvo is using to showcase its product. Unlike most video game, Volvo Drive For Life does not reward you for speed. Rather, it rewards you for safety and features a virtual reality tour of Volvo's safety training center. In other words, if you fall into the 0.1% of video game players that hates speed, crashing, racing, stunting, or stealing, then this game is for you! The game is scheduled for an initial run of 100,000 copies. Sad, but true.
