LowRider Extreme PC

LowRider Extreme is the first attempt by the Red Dot Games development team, known primarily from a series of arcade games based on the motifs of the series Wlatcy Moch, to face the genre of car games. Inspired by such titles as Need for Speed: Underground or Grand Theft Auto IV, the creators decided to prepare a product addressed to enthusiasts of extreme tuning.

In LowRider Extreme the player plays the role of a driver with a keen interest in mechanics and ambitions to gain respect among local motoring enthusiasts. By investing a relatively small starting pot of money in the purchase of the first car, he tries to rebuild it in such a way that it allows participation in street competitions and arouses interest in the original design.

In the game you can become the owner of 12 models of classic European and American cars. Cars are not licensed, but motoring fans should easily find them, among others, Fiat 125p, Skoda Rapid, Warsaw 201, Mercedes 115 or Cadillac Deville. The advanced tuning options deserve attention. In total, a dozen or so parameters can be modified - starting from the paint color, through various types of decorations, and ending on the suspension elements and components of the powertrain.

The creators took care of varied gameplay. In addition to participating in street races, the player can take part in a jumping competition and even try their hand at car dance, i.e. rocking the suspension to the rhythm of the music.

The driving model used in LowRider Extreme has little in common with realism, and the only substitute for the simulation is the option of a view from behind the wheel. The strictly arcade character of the game is also evidenced by the lack of a system of destruction.

The game's visual setting draws attention with refined vehicle models. Beautiful cars, however, are in stark contrast to the poorly-detailed environment. The whole is complemented by a soundtrack consisting of little sophisticated hip-hop tracks.
