![]() ![]() Too many times I found myself getting blown out by the AI even during the first few cups. ![]() This is actually a pretty interesting model, but I for one just found the scaling to be a little too proportionate. This game is pretty difficult at times, and it utilizes a scaling difficulty method as default in which the difficulty rises the more you win and the more upgrades you apply to your car. I list this is a negative because I feel you almost NEED a controller to properly play this game and not tear your hair out, a problem for those who do not own a compatible Xbox 360 controller. ![]() I plugged my USB Xbox 360 controller into my laptop and was able to have much more fun and have a better experience by using this. I did not like the controls at first with the keyboard and found the races to be a lot more difficult using the keyboard controls, almost to the point of frustration. While you can play this game with your keyboard controls, I definitely recommend using the compatible Xbox 360 controller. The only two games that offer DLC right now is Rocket Riot 3D and Reckless Racing, so it’s good to see the developers continue to support the game with post-release content even though it costs money. The two packs are The Drift Pack and the Gymkhana pack, both costing $1.99. Also, they each include 5 achievements for your achievement hunting pleasure. Both can be bought through the in-game menu and provide you with new cars, new tracks, new cups, and new challenges. In additional there are 150 individual/customizeable races that you can complete in order to gain more money.Īs of this article, there are currently two DLC packs available for the game. There are also 50 preset arcade style challenges that give you a certain vehicle and force you to do whatever the challenge is, which certainly proves to be fun. As the cups progress, the difficulty will progress with you (unless you disable that feature and choose custom difficulty), and you will be required to purchase/upgrade your cars in order to compete. Completing said races grants you money to buy/upgrade new vehicles. There are 20 campaign mode challenge cups that each consist of an average of 4-5 races. Reckless Racing has PLENTY of content that should keep you busy for quite some time. Lastly, the inclusion of multiplayer challenges with your friends truly helps make the game more enjoyable. Some are difficult such as the hardest difficulty completion races, but still doable. There are achievements for multiplayer mode, arcade mode, challenge mode, and the main campaign, along with some surprise achievements sprinkled in for performing certain tasks. Some of the achievements are a little tough, but I like games that don’t provide just a straight story mode list. This game really makes the most out of it’s LIVE functionality, offering you the abaility to gain achievements, challenge your friends, and provides leaderboard support. So, let’s jump into three positives and three negatives for Reckless Racing.ġ.) Making the most out of LIVE functionality There are also currently two downloadable content packs available for additional money. The inclusion of Xbox 360 controller compatibility alsohelps keep you sane. With LIVE functionality, the game brings you 20 achievements for a total 400G, leaderboards, and challenge mode that acts as a multiplayer mode where you can race your friends and challenge them in one-on-one races or fastest lap challenges.

This is the first racing game available for Windows 8 Xbox LIVE titles, although the game has been available for quite some time on many mobile platforms such as iOS and Android devices. Reckless Racing Ultimate Edition is the third game developed by Pixelbite but their first game developed independently. So, without further wait, let’s get into it after the page break! It’s ultimately up to you to try the game out yourself by downloading the trial to see if it is something you will like. At the end, I will not issue a score, but instead I will issue a recommendation, either: buy it, skip it, or mixed. ![]() Welcome to our first Windows 8 Xbox LIVE title review! With my reviews, I don’t like to give a score persay, but I do like to give you a nice synopsis of the game followed by three positives and three negatives.
