VOLT 2011

Re-Volt is a racing game developed by Acclaim Entertainment and released in 1999 for a variety of platforms including Windows, Playstation, Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast. Re-Volt has a unique idea, racing radio controlled cars. There are 28 cars and 14 tracks available (They're all damn good, this is just the first track =) including a stunt arena to roam around. The game is aiming to be as realistic as possible, while still maintaining a high speed and action. The game features a variety of weapons pickable from "orange bolt" -kind power-ups. Available for the player there is weapons like fireworks shooted towards other cars or a shooting star, when fired, flips every car wildly around it passes close by. The game also features a very easy to use track editor to build your own tracks from a selection of track pieces. (I have a video.) Additionally you can download custom cars and tracks from the internet, mainly from Re-Volt Zone Tracks. Altough Acclaim Entertainment is now defunct, fans continue to make cars and tracks for the game. Recently a source code of the game has been acquired by the fans and the game is now being actively updated and improved. Also a demo disc containing a stripped down version of Re-Volt was issued to beta testers of the original Xbox Live service prior to it's launch. Much to the disappointment of the fans, a more complete version was never released for the Xbox.

Also, a game named Re-Volt Overcharged is being developed with the Unreal Development Kit. I don't know what it's gonna be since I don't know about this stuff but there is already an alpha version downloadable featuring this track. You start holding a gun from Unreal Tournament on your hand but then you can just press E on the car on the ground and you can start driving an AMW with some wacky control. Of course, the graphics are also updated (all the textures & lighting and stuff) as the demo runs on Unreal Engine 3.
