Two Stunt Racers

Two Stunt Racers is a playground rather than a track. The city is built out of loops, jumps and half-pipes, there is no finish line, but there is a one-minute countdown and floating orbs worth between five hundred and two and a half thousand points. Three trophy thresholds sit down the right-hand side: bronze at five hundred, silver at a thousand, gold at fifteen hundred. The modes give you different reasons to throw a car into the air.

Landing is the actual skill. Getting airborne is easy and looks impressive; coming down facing the direction you wanted, with enough speed to reach the next ramp, is what separates a run that flows from a run that stops every ten seconds.

The two-player mode splits the screen and puts two people in the same city at once, which changes the tone completely. Half the fun is doing something well and half is watching the other person fail to, and both halves work better with someone in the room.

Customisation is cosmetic and generous. None of it affects the handling, which means the car you like the look of is also a car you can learn, and that is the correct arrangement for a game about showing off.
