Our take on Harold
Rather than making racing primarily about controlling a vehicle, Harold puts the player in the role of an outside helper. Changing the course and disrupting rivals becomes part of the race, while Harold navigates the obstacles.
What is Harold?
Harold casts the player as a guardian angel-in-training assigned to help an unlikely racer finish first.
Across obstacle courses, players manipulate objects, create openings, trigger hazards against rival racers and give Harold a boost when he falls behind. The courses involve jumping, swinging and sliding through environmental dangers, with multiple routes to the finish. The game includes 12 courses across 3 modes, and each level offers different paths to victory. Its racing structure centers on intervening in the course and affecting competitors, rather than relying only on the racer’s driving. A gamepad is required; Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers are recommended.
