Should you have got bored of the open world of Forza Horizon 5, tired of hitting the same old tarmac in F1 22, or found the constant turning left of the NASCAR games to be a strain, there’s another option on the table – to run your life a quarter mile at a time with NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All.
Yep, the latest ‘racer’ to hit Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S (as well as PlayStation, Switch and PC) is one that is dedicated to the straight line, from point-to-point, as you jump behind the wheel of the world’s fastest drag racers and battle it out to own the Strip.
Priced at the rather ouchy price of £41.74, NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All from GameMill Entertainment and Team6 Game Studios is a racer like no other, fully dedicated to time spent honing your skills and reactions as you go from 0-100 in a blink of an eye.
A simple game which will let you immerse yourself into the world of the most powerful of machines, strapping yourself in, hitting the go button and holding on for dear life. Yep, this is going to be a strip sensation.
There are choices to make though, yet they are nothing to do with gear selection or nitrous levels. Nope, you see, should that – and yes, ouchy again – £41.74 price tag not put you off and you decide to want more from NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All, then further versions are available for action.
There’s the NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All – Deluxe Edition for £49.99 which takes that base game and adds in the John Force Racing pack, including new paint schemes, designs and parachutes. Yeah, you NEED parachutes where these cars are going.
And then there’s also the NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All – Ultimate Edition which comes in at a frankly ridiculous £66.99. Yes, £66.99 for a drag racer. But hey, at least you get the base game, the goodies from that Deluxe Edition plus a few extra packs – the Battle Ready, Moonshot, Electro Blitz and Nitro Fire packs. Kinda makes the price a bit more doable, eh?
