DESCRIPTION
Hotshot Racing is a blisteringly fast arcade-style racing game fusing drift handling, razor-sharp retro visuals and an incredible sense of speed to create an exhilarating driving experience.

Developed by racing game veterans SUMO Nottingham and Lucky Mountain Games, Hotshot Racing is an all-new driving experience which revives the classic arcade gameplay of the 90s and thrusts it into the modern era.

16 racing circuits provide the twists, turns and straights conducive to searingly quick racing. Take in coastal, jungle, alpine and Las Vegas desert environments, with each course modelled with the most vivid colours and blue skies for miles.

Time Trial and Grand Prix modes cater to those who like to compete in classic racing formats, while ‘Cops and Robbers’ and ‘Drive or Explode’ modes offer exhilarating new ways to play.

Each mode is available in single-player, four-player split-screen and eight-player online, while Time Trial is single-player only. Single-player modes run at a blistering 60FPS to deliver one of the fastest depictions of racing possible.

Smash lap records to rise-up the global online leaderboards or download ghost laps to match your racing lines against the very best.

MEET THE HOTSHOTS
Keiko, Xing, Mike, Alexa, Aston, Toshiro, Marcus and Viktor - eight speed addicts that have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of being the greatest racing driver in the world.

A WELL NEEDED BOOST
Earn boost by drifting and slipstreaming opponents and unleash a one-shot hit of speed to leave them in your rear view mirror.

CATCH THE DRIFT
Drifting is crucial in Hotshot Racing. Boost charges as the player drifts so maintaining it for as long as possible is vital to preserving maximum speed throughout a race.

DRIVE OR EXPLODE
In this mode each car has a bomb attached to it. Drop below a certain speed and BOOM! The trigger speed gets faster and faster, forcing players to maintain impossibly high speeds.

COPS AND ROBBERS
Robbers evade the cops. Cops catch the robbers, and in doing so convert them to the police side, leading to an exciting test of skill for the surviving criminals.

    Hotshot racing is a great fun game, I’ve not tried the cops and robbers with the kids tho - will need to give that a red hot shot!

  • I live under a rock. If I wanted to buy this for my grand kid, how would I?
    Do I need their account details?

    Thanks op. Got it. Always on the look out for decent local multiplayer games.

  • Does the switch version have gyro steering?

    • +1

      Yes can do either. There’s an option in control settings.

  • Still can’t beat Asphalt 9 as a racing game on the Switch.

    • How is Asphalt 9 the best?

      • Graphics, action, car detail, modification, tracks, cars, multiplayer, sound track… I’m genuinely looking for an alternative that I’ll enjoy as much, but I’m yet to find.

  • I had random coins so it charged only $2. Hope my son loves it. Thanks op

  • I’m assuming cops and robbers means one person chases down the rest of the players?
    Do you need to run into them or just catch up to them? Just curious as my youngest won’t like it unless I can go past her without catching her and catch her bigger sister first.

  • The game is actually pretty fun, and worth it for the price.
