Remember the good old days when video games were simple affairs with pixelated graphics and adrenaline-fuelled racing? The developers of Race Arcade do and their latest game will try to replicate the joy found in some of the older racers, whilst adding modern features, to create the ultimate top-down racing experience.
Once you have chosen one of six different vehicles – expect to see rally cars, race cars, tractors and UFOs – each with a unique driving model, you can jump onto the expansive single-player mode with races, time trials and a career, or play up to six player couch multiplayer to determine who is the racing champion among your mates in local competitions.
Blending the best bits of a retro racer with modern technologies, Race Arcade promises smooth gameplay with a load of nostalgia. But the game also comes with 100 tracks across a variety of diverse environments, including areas with icy roads, lava filled tracks and even post-apocalyptic cities to burn some rubber in!
For the price of £7.99, you can have a neat little multiplayer racer sitting on your hard drive, provided you pick it up on the Xbox Games Store right now.
If you think the price may be a bit steep for the pleasure that Race Arcade threatens to bring, then hold tight for our full review. It’ll be with you in the coming days.
