Our take on Drift Desert Race
The extended desert journey gives the game a focused structure, but that focus leaves less room for the multiple modes, combat systems, or split-screen play found in some racing games.
What is Drift Desert Race?
Drift Desert Race is a racing game built around an 8-hour continuous drive across an endless desert.
Races take place on sandy dunes and through narrow canyons, with drifting and skill-based challenges forming the core activity. Players can select from a range of cars, each with distinct characteristics. The game includes car physics and moving sand dunes that affect the driving environment.
