Mantis Burn Racing available to download now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC

When the guys at Voofoo Studios put their love and soul into something, you just have to sit up and listen. And that’s exactly what they’ve done with Mantis Burn Racing, so the least you can do is give them some of your time.

Available to download right now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Mantis Burn Racing brings glorious visuals, fast top-down racing, a career mode that stretches to at least 20 hours and the opportunity for you to race both with local friends and online strangers in some close quarters racing. With an upgrade system in place, three different race difficulty levels and a number of cars and tracks to get involved in, if you’re looking for a racer that is slightly different to Forza Horizon 3, then Mantis Burn may well be it.

Our full review will be with you shortly (we’re just waiting for that damn embargo to lift), but for now we can leave you with our hands on preview of the game. It also made our ‘best games at EGX 2016’ list. Make sure you check them both out, then head on over to the Xbox Games Store to get your download in. At £11.99, it’s very well priced too.

Edit: So, that embargo lifted. You can therefore read our review of Mantis Burn Racing on Xbox One right now. Enjoy!

We’ll also leave the official launch trailer right below for you to have a watch of. We reckon the first 10 seconds or so are utterly amazing 🙂
