I'm sure we've played a video game where you had to drive a little car around a kitchen table before, so while we think what that game was, let us tell you about the latest downloadable hitting the XBLA - the 3D racing party game, "Mad Tracks". Players can race through 15 challenges consisting of nine mini-games and six different races behind the wheel of one of 12 sleek compact cars. "Mad Tracks," from games developers Load, features 12 power-ups to keep engines revved up and players in the fast lane ahead of the competition. Whether it's in the kitchen, living room, ballroom or open road, players can opt to burn rubber just about anywhere, and share the lanes with up to three other drivers in frantic multi-player racing action over Xbox LIVE. Be sure to buckle up for both Championship and Arcade modes, as "Mad Tracks" offers a high-definition, 3D racing experience to remember. Enjoy the robust, full game features of "Mad Tracks" this Wednesday, and also be on the lookout for new tracks coming soon. You can double and even triple the challenges in "Mad Tracks" with the Bravo and Encore expansion packs, arriving in the near future. For about half the price of the full game, players will be able to add additional races and mini-games to "Mad Tracks" by downloading the Bravo and/or Encore expansion packs. Each expansion pack includes an additional 15 races and mini games for 350 Microsoft Points each. And here are the features in a nutshell 15 distinct challenges (6 races & 9 mini-games) provide a full-fledged racing game experience 12 stackable power-ups (rockets, freezer, oil drop, EMP and more!) 12 sleek looking cars to choose from 4 player multi-player over Xbox LIVE and 4 player local multi-player via split screen mode Championship mode & Arcade mode 2 free gamer pictures Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points "Mad Tracks" is available worldwide (except for Korea - do these guys get anything on XBLA!?) for 800 Microsoft points.
