Mad Tracks

Mad Tracks is a racing game using miniature-style vehicles set in a 'big world' environment similar to games set in the Micro Machines universe.

Gameplay

Racing takes place against up to 8 AI controlled (with up to 4 human controlled vehicles) and can consist of straight point to point checkpoint based racing or more focused objective based tracks. Vehicle weapons or performance boosts can be picked up by driving over yellow question mark boxes which are scattered throughout every track. Each vehicle also has a limited supply of fuel indicated by an increasingly compressed coiled spring on screen which will re-fill once the gas button is fully depressed.

Single player is split into two modes Adventure and Arcade. In Adventure mode you are presented with a set of two races to choose from, which you must win to unlock the next set of two races. Arcade mode is a single event mode where you can play any of the tracks or modes you have unlocked in Adventure mode.

In multiplayer mode up to four players can play in split screen or over Xbox Live.
