While we wait for the start of the Xbox 360 exclusive beta, scheduled for March 8, it's worth checking out some of the previews of this racing game published by Activision and developed by Bizarre Creations (famous for the successful Project Gotham Racing series). This preview comes from the folks at Team Xbox.
The staff here at TeamXbox has had a chance to grind on the beta for awhile now, working our way up to Level 10, which is unfortunately the rank cap currently in place for people playing on the beta. Leveling up has nothing to do with "kudos," thank goodness, but the replacement currency is now "fans." You earn fans by driving well, overtaking other cars, pulling off nice drifts and the like, but you can also earn fans through proper use of the power-ups. Of course, you probably won't earn any real-life fans on the track by effectively using the power-ups, since most are intended to screw up your competitors' games.
Another preview has appeared at IGN. I'll post my own hands on impressions soon once the beta is up on Xbox Live. |
