Dangerous Driving puts aggression back into the racing genre, recapturing the spirit of the past and taking it to a new place. Dangerous Driving is a game about real driving. The sort of driving you want to do when no one else is looking. The sort of driving you’d love to do if only everyone else would get OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!
This game gives you the chance to live out that fantasy. To floor it in everyday cars, at high speeds, weaving in and out of traffic and slamming the other cars right off the road.
This is a game built in the spirit of the classic arcade racing games of the 80’s and 90’s. It’s about speed, driving skill and beautiful powerslides around epic corners.
It’s also about all out aggression, instant retaliation and sweet, sweet revenge.
The more dangerously you drive, the faster you can go.
The 27 vehicles in Dangerous Driving are spread across six car classes: Sedan, SUV, Coupe, Supercar, Hypercar and Formula DD.
Each class has a Base vehicle and a Tuned, Advanced and Prototype variant. The Base vehicle is unlocked at the start of each new Class of Events. The other 3 variants are unlocked by winning a Gold Medal in the required event (in almost all cases a Face Off where the player goes head to head against the car they will win).
There are over 400 combinations of car and livery in the game.
"Cars that are tailor made for modes – we wanted to make car choice meaningful. We didn’t want there to be just 1 ‘best’ car (especially when we take the game online – coming soon in FREE DLC). You make a choice based on the mode and your playing style."
Base Vehicles
These are the vehicles that you start each class of Events with but they’re no slow coach, even the base Sedan can do 197 mph!.
However digitally pre order the game (before this coming Monday) and you’ll get a special VIP sedan to start the game with, with a top speed of 200 mph.
The VIP Sedan is ONLY available via the digital pre order. There is no (and will never be) another way to get this special car with it’s unique livery, rear styling package, exhaust system and gold (green on Xbox One) wheels!
Advanced Vehicles
Advanced Vehicles are stronger, hit harder and take less damage, making them the perfect car for Takedown Races or Road Rage, where they are more resilient against the attempts of Rivals to take you down!
Tuned Vehicles
Faster than the Base or Advanced models, the Tuned cars are perfect for ‘Heatwave events’ – they earn and use boost more quickly so you can chain quicker – but also each successful chain in a Tuned car adds 2 mph to your top speed – until you crash!
We have no idea what the limit is on this as we have always crashed after about 30-35 chains!! So we’re looking forward to seeing the YouTube videos of how far you guys push it!
Prototype Vehicles
The Prototype cars have been optimized for Racing – they’ve got more speed than any other but watch out they are also the most fragile!
They have less strength than the other vehicles so whilst you could take them into a Road Rage, you’d be spending more time fleeing your Rivals than taking them down!
And one more thing – These only come in carbon fibre!
Cop Cars
Players start out with the base Sedan Cop Car, perfectly adequate for your every day Pursuit. But as the game progresses and there are more Targets to chase down (up to 5 in later events) you’ll want to unlock the SUV and Supercar Cop Cars.
