    Pretty classic top down racer, nice graphics, game play and sounds. Its a tidy casual racing game that fills a spot. Reminded me of the old supercars 2 game back in the amiga/early pc days (but with no guns or mines, etc, maybe DLC?). Basically like most racing games you start off in 'banger' class and work up to some faster more capable machines (F1/indy looking style in this case) allPretty classic top down racer, nice graphics, game play and sounds. Its a tidy casual racing game that fills a spot. Reminded me of the old supercars 2 game back in the amiga/early pc days (but with no guns or mines, etc, maybe DLC?). Basically like most racing games you start off in 'banger' class and work up to some faster more capable machines (F1/indy looking style in this case) all along the way there are different challenges in each class (4 of them) and finally a championship to seal the class and move on. You can also unlock new skins as you race through the levels providing you complete a task within the race (I've only managed a couple). I'd say the A.I. does get quite challenging on hard, but normal is easy enough and most will breeze past them. The game play types are career (where you will get the challenges, task, etc), time challenge (which I think uses a server type leader-board) and simply a race where you can set up the car type, ai, laps, place, etc. The only two criticisms I have is on the car paint job selection - they have brought back the old HTML marquee scrolling text it makes it hard to read what your suppose to achieve to unlock the paint job - i thought this style had gone out with the 90s. The other criticism is the game is a little short in the career mode (more challenges/races would of been nice).

    I'd say its a quick pick up and play game, and I am sure I will be racing again and again on this on. 8 out of the 10.    … Expand

    If you ever played the 'Super Sprint' arcade games of the 80s, you likely enjoy Bang Bang Racing. The game embodies a lot of what made the former racers so addictive (in short bursts, admittedly) and intense. The game features up to 4-player local (split-screen) racing in most modes (inc. championships / cups, where unlockables can be opened), which is a real plus for a PC port--aIf you ever played the 'Super Sprint' arcade games of the 80s, you likely enjoy Bang Bang Racing. The game embodies a lot of what made the former racers so addictive (in short bursts, admittedly) and intense. The game features up to 4-player local (split-screen) racing in most modes (inc. championships / cups, where unlockables can be opened), which is a real plus for a PC port--a platform notorious for stripped content / functionality when it comes to local multiplayer. The only negatives can be attributed to the unlockables (cars / skins / tracks) that are a tad onerous to acquire (given their basic nature) and that the player begins the game with only the barest of thus choices. But, overall, this is a very good title for a game of its type and, due to its relentless nature, reasonably challenging, even for adult players.… Expand

    For sure one of the best arcade racing game I've ever played in my life. Funny, well-done, balanced and completed by a series of achievements that double the lifespan of an already not-so-short game.
    Japanese track is horrendous but that seems to be a "must" in arcade racing games.

    This is probably the shortest single-player campaign I've ever seen in a racing game.
