HiSpeed - Coming Soon from Apogee
HISPEED:the racing game with attitude. Utilizing a hi-performance
3D engine with texture mapping, lighting effects and shadows,
Hispeed creates a level of visual impact never seen before in the
racing game genre.
You start out from the bottom of the ranking list, Your objective:
earn money in the blitzkrieg-battle races, and fight hard for each
precious championship point. Each race can be lethal, and while
taking the curves as hard as you can, your fellow competitors are
showering you in a constant hail of bullets. While the losers
repair their cars and cover those bullet holes, the winner spends
his hard earned money on new engines, tires or better armor.
Shoot your way through screaming bystanders, pick up more ammo
and turbo from the side of the track, and floor the pedal while
performing some shady deals for The Dealer. No trick is too dirty
as you pile up some armor, and upgrade your engine to survive the
final confrontation against The Adversary.
And when you feel you can't take it anymore, you can check out
the underground market: Spiked bumpers, landmines, rocket fuel
or sabotage can provide a way to create some nasty accidents to
the competition.
And for all you "clean racing" fanatics; Hispeed also has a mode
where you can race against time (so if you feel like a sissy, you can
disable weapons & other dirty stuff ;) and try to beat all of those
faster-than-light lap records your friends keep boasting of.
Play alone or with friends, Hispeed supports network multiplaying
for up to 4 players and serial or modem connection for two players.
A few of the awesome game features:
* 19 different tracks
* 6 different cars
* Each car is equipped with different weapons
* Ugradeable Engines, Tires and Armor
* Up to 4 player multiplayer
* Over 20 megs of action packed animation
More info will come once the game is a bit closer to release.
When will it be released? When it's done!
