Crazy Taxi

Description

Crazy Taxi is an arcade-like racer where the player takes the role of a taxi driver who weaves his way through crowded streets, across sidewalks, and even underwater, in a wild and frantic race to deliver passengers on time. The courses are largely set inside cities crowded with general traffic and pedestrians (which can’t be run over, they dive away). The main goal is to bring as many customers as possible to their destination in time. Available customers are marked through circles and the color represents the distance and the fare they offer. Green means long rides with plenty of money, and red ones are very short.

In the main Arcade mode, there is a timer that quickly runs down. It can be replenished by picking up customers. While driving reckless maneuvers are encouraged. Players can disregard all traffic rules and customers give extra tips for speedy and dangerous driving, but these can only be cashed when the customer arrives at his destination in time. By the same token, the reward at the end of a ride is based on the amount of time left, as each customer also has a personal timer. The city is filled with slopes and jumps, and the game uses a very loose driving model. No damage can be done to the car, so driving as fast as possible is encouraged. While driving players can toy with the gears to perform two special tricks: a crazy drift and a crazy boost to speed up more quickly. …

Carmageddon TDR 2000

Description

Carmageddon TDR 2000 (also known as Carmageddon: Total Destruction Racing 2000 or Carmageddon 3: TDR 2000 in North America), is a vehicular combat video game. The sequel to Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now, it was developed by Torus Games and released in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2000, and on December 14 in North America.

The title is a homage to the inspiration for the Carmageddon series, Death Race 2000. As with the other games in the series, one of the most controversial aspects was that pedestrians could be killed by immolation (being set on fire) or graphic collisions that could include dismemberment. In some countries, the human pedestrians were replaced with zombies – actually only changing the red blood to green slime – but patches were circulated on the internet that reverted the game to its original state.

While still part of the game series’ canon, the gameplay was not a significant advancement on the original, which resulted in poor sales for the game and blurred the chances of a 4th installment of the series. However, almost 12 years later, a long-awaited 4th installment of the series was announced on the official site, called Carmageddon: Reincarnation. …

Rage Rally

Description

Rage Rally is a budget rally game prepared by Rage Software studio specializing in this type of productions. The British developer once again gives players a simple, strictly dexterity racing in a good setting.

In the game we choose one of the two available cars with quite enigmatic names – Rage Typhoon 4WD 270Bhp or Rage Phantom 4WD 300Bhp – and we race by observing the action from behind the car or from inside the vehicle. The driving model is purely arcade, so our cars – even with quite serious collisions – do not suffer any visual or technical damage. We have 4 routes to subjugate: Goldstone, Luger, Quarry and Dyson. Each of them is characterized not only by a different appearance, but also by a different surface and conditions on the route.

The competition can take place in one of the two available game modes. In the Arcade variant we race on the above mentioned routes with other computer-controlled vehicles. Time Trial mode allows you to race only against time – with no opponents, which gives us the opportunity to improve our records and improve our driving technique. …

rFactor (2005)

Description

rFactor is a computer racing simulator designed with the ability to run any type of four-wheeled vehicle from street cars to open wheel cars of any era. rFactor aimed to be the most accurate race simulator of its time. Released in November 2005, rFactor did not have much competition in this market, but it featured many technical advances in tire modeling, complex aerodynamics and a 15 degrees of freedom physics engine.

rFactor was developed by Image Space Incorporated (ISI), which has been developing simulators since the early 1990s for both commercial and military purposes. The isiMotor2 on which the game is based is a direct successor to the engine used in previous titles developed by ISI, most notably F1 Challenge ’99–’02, released through EA Sports. The isiMotor2 engine was also used in many other simulation games.

rFactor has a detailed interface during offline race sessions or online games, allowing players to control the mechanical setup of their cars, chat to other players and enter the racing arena in their vehicle. The player’s car can be driven from multiple viewpoints, but the two most popular are termed the cockpit view (from the driver’s eye) and swingman view (above and behind the vehicle). …
