Technical aspects

Motorhead is the work of the Swedish studio Digital Illusions, which previously was mainly famous for its pinball series. The prepared racing game is based on an arcade model of fun and spectacularity, reminiscent of, among others, the Ridge Racer series.

Mechanics

The authors have put at the disposal of the players ten cars, which differ in speed, acceleration and grip. Some of them are available from the beginning, others need to be unlocked as the game progresses. Choosing the right vehicle for the route of the struggle is one of the key aspects of the fight for victory. Each of the machines can be tested on eight routes, which were led in different sceneries. Fans of the race will find tracks filled with obstacles, jumps and cramped chicanes leading through cities, seaside resorts and deserts. Production is based on a skillful driving model, which means that crazy rides with controlled slides and shear corners are rewarded, as well as pushing rivals off the track on upcoming occasions.

Game modes

Motorhead offers a genre-standard set of fun options. A single player can test their skills in selected competitions, against time or in a league in which, thanks to victories, they rise to the higher divisions. In addition, the authors have made the competition mode available for many players.

Technical aspects

The production of Digital Illusions studio was made using a fully three-dimensional graphic engine and kept in a futuristic style. The title allows you to choose between playing in 30 or 60 frames per second. In the first case, there may be more machines on the track at the same time. The competition is accompanied by electronic music in the background.
