Rapid Racoon Races Onto DS

Ok, so we're a week late on this one, but that doesn't hold us from showing you Rapid Racoon for the Nintendo DS, a game that's going after F-Zero...

Rapid Racoon is a thrilling, fast paced and richly detailed racing game exclusively created for the Nintendo DS.

The player starts with a choice of 3 anti gravity craft which have different skills, speed and handling. There will be the opportunity to unlock 3 more craft if you win each championship attaining first place, as well as being able to unlock 2 extra craft after finishing the normal and hard mode.

As the player steers their craft around the cleverly designed track, hovering above the ground, collectables will randomly appear to both hinder and aid the player which will include missiles, mines, speedups, bombs, magnets, etc.

Three modes will be available: in easy mode, the opponents have a speed limit, which requires care and due attention, normal mode, the opponents will endeavour to not let you pass them, but will not be unduly aggressive, hard mode, the opponents will try to not let you pass them, and are outwardly aggressive! All three modes offer added gameplay for driving in a different manner with alternative strategies.

Features:

• 3 modes, easy/normal/hard
• Cutting edge graphical presentation through creation of an exceptional 3D engine and the best use of the NDS capabilities
• Network play
• Simply, effective controls
• Ingenious AI
• Each team has a mascot, and one of them will be the Racoon...
• Utilizing both screens, the upper screen displays the 3D race whilst the bottom screen conveys the opponent's position and map visualization.

  This game looks great, let's just hope the 3D engine will not slow down the fast action of traditional F-Zero style.

  Seems much more like WipEout, the tracks graphics (and the narrow race track), the mixture of environments, and the ships look exactly the same as WipEout ships. Looks fabulous! The DS needs a high speed racer, and this looks to fit the bill. As long as it has a decent selection of courses, good multiplayer and music - I'm all over this.
