Drive or Explode is my favourite and plays out like a video game version of the Keanu Reeves movie Speed. Outside Grand Prix, you’ll also be able to take on individual tracks in standard races, race alone in time trials and compete in two more unique modes. Sure, you want a good challenge, but when a little nudge from behind is enough to send you spinning one-eighty as you watch the pack race by, it can be a little frustrating especially if it’s the second time in a race. Even on the easiest setting, I found the computer opponents put up a good fight… too good in fact since they all take on a rather offensive racing style and feel prone to rubber banding. It’s predictable stuff for a racer but gets the job done and with four cups and three difficulties, it will keep you busy at least a little while. The racer with the most points at the end wins the cup. Grand Prix is arguably the main event in Hotshot Racing taking the tried and true system of competing in four races, your position in each awarding points. Throw in a boost meter that fills up the more death-defying drifts you perform and you’re left with a game that rarely takes its foot off the pedal. Even going at insanely fast speeds, you feel firmly in control. Much like those older series, you’ll find yourself performing some truly slick manoeuvres all thanks to the game’s tight handling vehicles. Hotshot Racing absolutely nails the feeling of those arcade racers focusing on long, seemingly-impossible drifts around corners whilst keeping your speed as high as possible. With visuals akin to 90s hit Virtua Racing and racing that includes the long tyre-burning drifts of a Ridge Racer or Out Run, how does this modern-day take on the genre stand up to these arcade racing classics? One brief glimpse at Hotshot Racing in action – or even a screenshot to be honest – and you immediately get an idea of what games have inspired developers Lucky Mountain Games and Sumo Digital’s effort.
