If you keep your fingers crossed for one of these at the right time then the power is in your hands to turn a race on its head.
Featuring 27 in total, the real game-changers are the Death Bat, a firey bat of death that homes in on first place, and the Low Gravity power-up which sees cars in front of you lose their gravitational pull. Races aren’t won solely based on ability behind the wheel though, the power-ups can influence the outcome greatly, with some luck. And with no difficulty settings you can’t even adjust it to make it all that little bit easier. Subsequently I found myself repeating races multiple times to finish first because my vehicle had dodgier handling and the A.I. I should be faster, the handling should be better but instead it felt identical to when I had the bare minimum of improvements, rendering my upgrades within the 250HP parameters useless. Obviously to compete in lesser events it’ll downgrade to a high end 250HP, yet when I attempted one of the earlier events with my top of the range car it was more of a struggle that I anticipated. I accumulated enough coins (from winning and even just participating) to improve my vehicle to 500HP. Now here comes my first gripe… each Series has a HP rating for the level of vehicle that must be used ranging from 100 to 1000HP. We’ve seen those before, many times, however Vector Unit have brought in a couple of fresh ideas in Stampede (drive into objects and other racers for points) and Shooting Gallery (shooting firework rockets at stuff awards points) to name just two.Įvery event has up to three possible stars to earn and by gathering more stars you’ll unlock additional races and the all important one versus one boss race. It isn’t just all straight forward races either they’ve added other event types such as Elimination where every so often the last place racer gets eliminated and Boost Blitz which is basically a time trial.
Considering each character has a different special ability to be used once per event, having more of them unlocked gives you increased options when an event calls for a speed boost (Rez) or the ability to swap places (B’Zorp) with a racer higher up in the pack mid-race! After a relatively simple tutorial, your first port of call will be the Career where you can compete across many Series comprising of events which ultimately leads to a boss race which unlocks a new character.
