Activision Goes Full Throttle With Nascar Unleashed This Fall

Activision has announced that Nascar Unleashed will be available this fall for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 the Wii and the Nintendo 3DS, Nascar Unleashed will allow players to take their racer “to the streets” by driving on and off some of Nascar’s most famous tracks in this stylistically souped-up arcade racing competition.

Nascar Unleashed will include some of the biggest names, including Nascar Sprint Cup series drivers Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Jeff Gordon, and Joey Logano.

In game Nascar tracks include: Daytona International Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Martinsville Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. Racers can also break free from the oval as they take to the pavements, beaches and off-roads of the surrounding cities.
The gameplay has no limits and lax physics rules, as the key is bumping and grinding opponents out of the lead to seize the top spot. Mastering popular Nascar techniques like drafting and sling-shotting earn drivers ‘Boost’ power-ups to pull out in front and pass the checkered flag first.

An arcade style Heads-Up-Display will inform gearheads of their race position, current speed, achievements and unlocks. Slick audio and visuals keep the game a pick up and play affair that is perfectly suited for young gamers.
