Burnin’ Rubber
Burnin’ Rubber , a GX4000/CPC plus launch/bundle title (and one of the few
exclusives for the range), is an arcade-style racing game, much inspired by
the developers’ earlier WEC Le Mans.
The game depicts a Le Mans-inspired endurance race over four laps consisting
of four checkpoints each. The game begins with a qualification lap before the
race itself starts. Racing is arcade-style, with Outrun-style 3rd person
perspective view graphics and a timer that indicates how much time is left
before the next checkpoint has to be reached. Opponents fill the track and
billboards fill its sidelines – crashing too fast into either displays a
spectacular crash animation and takes valuable time off the clock. The game
offers a choice of automatic or manual gear switching. The time of day passes
during racing, thus offering driving in sunsets and sunrises and during the
night.
