The Game:

Lotus Challenge is truly the most complete racing game to date. By mixing different gaming styles, camera angles, story lines and even a hint of role playing, players can choose multiple paths through the game. Five huge modes offer players a complete tour of the world of Lotus. Stunt mode takes you to the set of a Hollywood blockbuster run by a hotshot director who gives you the play-by-play of the scene he wants you to execute. A multi-player option is available for those who want to challenge others through a championship or single race. Upon winning specific challenges, hidden tracks and cars are unlocked, so if you have already won a race you can go back and test your skills in a faster car.

Game features include:

• 5 game modes: Collection, Championship, Single Play, Multi-player and Challenge, which features a story line with races, stunts and missions.
• 38 licensed Lotus cars including new models, famous classics and race and concept cars
• 28 different races, 22 different stunts/challenges
• Stunning new controller system for a more realistic driving experience – tested and approved by the actual Lotus test drivers
• The first driving game with officially licensed vehicles to feature realistic vehicle damage
• Soundtrack by cutting edge electronica/breakbeat artist Hybrid

The soundtrack for the game was created by UK electronica/breakbeat artist Hybrid and includes a brand new track Joyride as well as four new remixes of songs from their critically acclaimed album Wider Angle tweaked specifically for Lotus Challenge.
