Pulse Racer is set in an imaginary city where racers careen through futuristic tracks, using their heart rate, the weight of their own bodies, and high-tech tools like plasma beams to beat the competition. Pulse Racer offers INFINITRAX, a unique, limitless track generating system that allows players to create any number of custom-tailored tracks to be stored, altered and shared on the Xbox hard-drive. The INIFINITRAX track editor is one of several hidden game features unlocked by earning racing points. Up to four players can race at once on the Xbox split-screen.
