DRIFT STAGE

Publisher/ developer Super Systems Softworks Format PC Origin US Release December

With modern racing games leaning more towards the sim end of the spectrum, no sign of the rumoured Ridge Racer, and Criterion seemingly done with Burnout for good, it’s left to the little guys to fly the flag for 90-degree drifts around sweeping bends. Super Systems Softworks is clearly in thrall to the ’80s, but its game is not without contemporary ideas, including a course editor, daily challenges, online multiplayer, and a mode with randomly generated tracks.
