Stuntcar Extreme
Stuntcar Extreme is a racing game with an early-’80s retro funk style. The
player is challenged to build up stunt points, score and time records good
enough to face the ultimate opponent, The Duke. The comedic story is driven
forward by dialogues between various characters after each race. The
characters are set in a chilling area, with the initial one being a “Milkshake
Bar”. By winning the stunt cup, players can proceed on to the next area with
different characters.
By chatting with the characters the player can challenge them to duels for
stunt points or their car. Initially, players are only given a low powered SCE
Petit, which won’t guarantee them many victories, so it is essential to win
cars from other characters. Often opponents will refuse to race the player
until he has proven to be a worthy opponent, e.g. by making an impressive
enough stunt jump while racing, or by achieving a good enough lap time on a
specific track. Players can go to a weekly “Friday Race” to achieve these.
As the story advances new tracks are unlocked, as well. The game has 7 tracks
with names such as Ring of Fire, Metropolitan, Icy Drifts, and Rollercoaster.
A quick race game mode is also available, as well as head-to-head wireless
multiplayer support. The cars and tracks unlocked in championship game are
unlocked for the other game modes as well. It is also possible to unlock a car
by winning head-to-head wireless games.
The game boasts a total of 20 different cars, each with their own unique
characteristics.
