For me steering is very important especially when your opponents are hitting you trying to make you go off the course or smash into the wall. So you will have to experiment to find which car works best for you. Each vehicle you unlock has its own stats for Acceleration, Top Speed and Steering. Driving off the track or flipping your car takes more time to get reset on the track than just driving normally. During racing I found that I did better if I just avoided the boosts so I would drive on the wrong colour on purpose just so I wouldn’t get the boost. Though if that does happen, that wouldn’t be the worst thing because driving on the boost panels makes your car shake and stutter more because of the increased speed so the vehicle is even harder to control than usual.
As long as one of your competitors isn’t using the same colour and uses them all up. If you drive over the boost panels that match your neon colour you will get a boost. While driving there are three different colours of stars you can grab that will change the colour of the neon on your black car. This game does have a unique boost system that I have not seen before. I’m assuming this is the driver: based on how the car drives I question his knowledge about cars. At the beginning of the story mode you see a guy standing by the car with a wrench. Just a warning, if you are someone who gets motion sick easily, this shaking might bother you. This first car shutters and shakes so hard it makes you think you are driving during an earthquake or there is something seriously wrong with this car and it is going to die or explode at any moment.
At least if you do happen to make a mistake and flip your car or drive off the track, just hit the Y button, your car will be reset on the track. The controls are insanely sensitive so it doesn’t take much to go into a spin or flip your car. As a warning, remember that these cars, especially the first one, definitely do not have anything like traction control because it feels like you are always driving on ice. So it’s neat being able to drive these “new” classic cars. The game features a lot of cars inspired by real vehicles from the USSR, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Germany. Electro Ride has you racing in locations such as Warsaw, Prague, Moscow, Sofia, Berlin and Varna.Īt the start of Electro Ride, you begin your racing circuit in Warsaw with a classic boxy '80s European car. The track locations in the game are really unique compared to other racing games I have played. Will this game feel like an arcade racing classic you have played in the past?
