Real-time physics, innovative stunts and next-generation graphics combine into a dynamic, tricked-out single and multiplayer RC car racing experience where players twist and turn, grind and gear up, performing aerial tricks and stunts while racking up trophies and points as they race to the finish, all in an unlikely location. Set on a beautiful and tranquil Mediterranean island, the fast-moving, bumper car gameplay style transforms this calm and relaxing setting into a dynamically frenzied raceway. A high-speed mini car racing game with a distinct arcade flavor, gameplay is presented from the unique perspective of a small RC vehicle, setting out to conquer the big world. Players will enjoy realistic driving physics and suspension as the tiny vehicles interact with full-size people and other beach dwellers along their path to victory.
“Smash Cars brings an exciting new action racing experience unlike anything else. TikGames is excited to work with Creat Studios to bring another innovative, high-end title to gamers on the PlayStation Network,” said Anatoly Tikhman, Founder and CEO of TikGames, LLC.
To win the race, RC vehicles must achieve nitro-fueled rocket boosts for accelerated speed bursts by grabbing big air and pulling off gnarly tricks and jumps. Points are earned by performing the best jumps and aerial tricks, hitting dynamic obstacles, colliding with other cars, skidding and “drifting” along sharp turns, and finishing first. Players can choose from the default Monster Truck style chassis, Buggy or Sports Car configurations, and a visit to the Workshop offers players the opportunity to personalize their vehicle by selecting paint color, glass styles, and decals. Additional body styles are unlocked as players advance.
“Creat Studios is thrilled to deliver the Smash Cars franchise to the PlayStation® Network and take advantage of capabilities only found on the PS3,” said Vladimir Starzhevsky, co-founder and CEO of Creat Studios, Inc. “With this release, we are pushing our design and gameplay boundaries on PSN beyond the casual games arena.”
A follow-up to the original Smash Cars, Creat’s 2003 ‘no rules’ RC (radio-controlled) racing game, the franchise will be available for download Aug. 20, 2009 on the PlayStation Network for $14.99.
