Codemasters announces Toybox Turbos, a miniature car racing simulation coming to
Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on November 12th. There's a
Super Awesome Announce
Trailer on the game's official
website showing what to expect. Here's the scoop:
Featuring gameplay
that reflects Codemasters’ fondly remembered miniature racing titles of the
‘90s, Toybox Turbos delivers a pick-up-and-play arcade racing extravaganza as
gamers take a nostalgic tour of 18 obstacle and short-cut filled circuits
inspired by childhood locations. Players will speed past spilt sticky jam on the
kitchen table, dodge flaming Bunsen burners as they take their opponents back to
school and zip past the runaway train in races around a railway set and more.
Gamers can see Toybox Turbos in action in a new gameplay video which is now
playing at www.toyboxturbos.com.
Bursting with classic retro racing fun, Toybox Turbos includes four-player local
and online multiplayer options, perfect for turning friends into foes with
one-more-go gaming sessions that race into the night. Whether playing locally or
online, or with a mix, Toybox Turbos brings alive the glory days of multiplayer
score-settling competition with rapid-fire rounds designed for all-action
racing.
Toybox Turbos features 35 vehicles to collect and customise, ranging from sports
cars and dragsters to emergency vehicles, taxis, ice cream vans, construction
vehicles, milk float, moon buggies and more! Each can be raced in six
super-charged game modes; players sprint for the line in Classic Races, set
their best time in Time Trial, pass as many turbocharged toys as possible in
Overtake, avoid getting wiped out by the tide in Escape, beat the clock in
Countdown and take down bosses in Elimination mode. To gain the advantage,
gamers can collect and use a range of power-ups spread liberally around each
circuit, including, but not limited to, machine guns, mines, electronic pulses
and, of course, giant hammers!
