Our take on Night Racer
The defining structure is four distinct race modes, pairing cross-platform multiplayer with championship, arcade, and time-trial play.
What is Night Racer?
Night Racer is a racing game with four modes: Multiplayer, Championship, Arcade, and Time Trial.
Multiplayer supports cross-platform play, and players can compete on leaderboards. The game includes 9 tracks, each with obstacles and challenges, plus 8 championships. Arcade and Time Trial cover the levels in different ways. More than 8 cars are available, including sports and vintage models. Skins, toppers, and boosters can be used to customize cars, while collected coins can be spent on upgrades. Opponents may drive aggressively and push other racers toward the edges of the track.
