Street Racer game description
The game has eight different vehicles with different skills in speed, haste or resistance. There are also some power-ups on the tracks such as bombs, nitro fuel, and health packs.
The game features 9 characters and 8 tracks, and several different game modes. The ‘Championship’ mode is essentially a set of races with increasing difficulty. Once a player completes the ‘Championship’ mode on Bronze difficulty, they can play through again on Silver, then Gold, and ultimately Platinum.The game also allows for players to cherry pick their own tracks and settings to create a Custom Championship. Head-to-head racing with a CPU driver is also an option, along with practice races.
The most unique aspect of Street Racer however is its Rumble mode, in which the 8 drivers begin facing each other in a circular arena with a destructible outer barrier along the edge with the objective of the mode being to be the Last Man Standing in the ring. To win, one player has to eliminate all of their opponents using the in-built weapons/abilities on each car or by simply punching the other players out of the ring (an ability that was available to all drivers). These offensive aspects of the game are also included in the race mode: weapons were not in the form of pickups like in Super Mario Kart, but rather each car had its own specific recharging weapons/abilities to suit the driver. For example, Frank Instein’s car had the ability to grow bat wings and fly.
There are 9 featured characters in the game (one of which is unlockable):
- Helmut: An ace pilot from Germany.
- Hodja: A magician folklore hero from Turkey.
- Frank Instein: Based on the creature created by Dr. Frankenstein.
- Suzulu: A voodoo specialist from Africa.
- Biff: A bald american ‘bully’ type character from the USA.
- Surf Sister: An Australian teenager (and the only playable female character in the game).
- Sumo-san: A sumo wrestler from Japan.
- Raphael: A suave ladies man from Italy.
- Rabbit: The secret unlockable character who is essentially just a rabbit who is featured in the intro movie to the game and on the box art. He is unlocked by either completing the ‘Championship’ mode of the game on ‘Platinum’ difficulty or by simply entering a password into the cheats section of the game.
