I reckon this will be a great pick for a high score challenge
This is quite a fun little game. It's pretty short and not too hard so it's great for a quick blast.

I'll definitely have a go and post a score. Will hopefully get around to it tonight.

[ddevilfingers]

I've never tried this one either - ill give it a go tonight.

[lambrettadave]

you both will problys whop me on this

[ian]

It took a couple of hours but I finally got the score I wanted: 8,899,030



You need to complete the last level to stand any chance at being my score, as you get a 5,000,000 bonus. I've got no doubt that a 9m+ score can be achieved.

[lambrettadave]

wow Ian thats some score mate, welldone.

I will try again on Monday when I have plenty of time.

Did you find that you could almost get to the end on your first or second go?

Yeh, like I mentioned before, it's a pretty easy game. I got to the last stage every time, but you only get one chance at it. It took me about 6 attempts before I finally did it. And even when I did it I made with 0 seconds spare! You have to make sure you don't use any credits during the first 5 stages, as it resets your score.

[lambrettadave]

I thought that eas the case.

A little practice should see it cracked.

I just got myself a Foot Pedal to go with my Handle Controller, so I thought I'd give this a shot to test it out, works well and it's a pretty fun game. I didn't manage to complete it, ran out of time on the last level, but I got about 6,500,000.

Gonna give it a few more tries later

[lambrettadave]

I have one of those pedals here, never used it might rake it out n see what its like

Just found out that you can shoot at the inocent bystanders cars and knock-em of the road :-)

[Transatlantic Foe]

Shoot them enough times and you can drive straight through them...

Here's a few tips for scoring points:

1. For every car you overtake without bumping into one your multiplier increases (it maxes out at 10,000). You can see it appear below your score. So if you drive well, you can score up to 10,000 points for overtaking cars.

2. Smashing into the bosses gives you 10,000 points. It does damage, doesn't slow you down too much and don't reset your multiplier, so don't be afraid to do it. Shooting the boss will kill him quicker though and give you a bigger time bonus. The best way to go is probably a combination of shooting and crashing into them whenever you get the chance.

3. Turbo bonus. If you drive well, you don't need to use any turbos for levels 1, 2 and 5 so save them for a 90,000 bonus.

You can get through level 3 without a turbo too, it's very tight but worth the extra 30,000 for the risk

I have a feeling this one is gonna turn into a bit of a battle . Here's my score, used a couple of turbos that I didn't need to but other than that a pretty clean run, including a fair few max overtaking bonuses .

Just had another go tonight and aced it first time.
9,272,860



I quite like the fact that the cars aren't randomised. I remembered every stage and it makes it less frustrating when trying to get a top score.
