Ignite is something utterly different than any other racing game before. There is so many ways to win and positions can change until the last second and even after that, when everybody already crossed the finish line. Excitement never stops in Ignite as you may never be a sure winner at the lead and you never lost the race just because you are at the last position.

Swedish developer GRIN has been around for over a decade, founded in 1997, but it was not until 2006's PC edition of Ubisoft's GRAW that it became widely known.

rumored to be in trouble, with employees being asked to not come to work. Oddly enough,
earlier today, one of its subsidiaries announced a new title.
