F1 Race Stars: Formula One And Mario Kart’s Love Child
For those who can’t sit through a sim racer and are looking for fast, fun action, there’s another contender. Move aside Mario Kart, Blur, ModNation Racers, and Split Second; F1 Race Stars is coming your way!
Scheduled for a November release later this year on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, F1 Race Stars will present “a fast-to-the-fun arcade racing game for all ages featuring the official Formula One cars, teams and circuits as they’ve never been seen before.
Players will jostle for position on every straight, hairpin, jump and loop-the-loop with chaotic racing and a range of power-ups for players to collect and deploy as they sprint for the chequered flag.”
Features:
– FORMULA ONE STARS AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE! In F1 RACE STARS, the whole cast of FORMULA ONE stars become personality-packed, toonified heroes driving all-new F1 RACE STARS cars representing each team from the 2012 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP on a range of super-fast, feature-packed circuits. Codemasters Racing Studios has drawn upon its vast experience in track design and racing AI and let its game designers and artists off the leash to create a fresh new FORMULA ONE experience.
– IT’S A FORMULA OF FUN FOR ALL – With instantly accessible pick-up-and-play gameplay, F1 RACE STARS will enable players of all ages and abilities to dive straight into position-swapping, wheel-to-wheel competition. With up to 4-players competing in split-screen multiplayer, head-to-head competition or coming together in teams, F1 RACE STARS is perfect for sharing the fun with friends and family. Up to 12 players can also race in online multiplayer and by signing up to RaceNet, the free online extension for Codemasters Racing games, players can track their races, rivals and rewards and join in regular F1 RACE STARS community events.
– A NEW WORLD OF FORMULA ONE – Race circuits that take inspiration from the most exciting tracks from the 2012 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP will bring a new world of FORMULA ONE alive as each becomes a fantasy racing theme park featuring jumps, multiple-routes, shortcuts, and more. Gamers will negotiate Spa’s iconic Eau Rouge with a range of power ups before taking on a death-defying loop-the-loop in Belgium, race across speeding bullet trains in Japan and hit the accelerator to leap the swimming pool at Monaco and much, much more.
