Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver

Why is real driving never this much fun? Well, the answer to that is quite simple - when do you ever get to do backflips, drive on looping tracks or attempt 360 degree spinning jumps?!

This game really does rock. It has all the elements of classic gameplay plus plenty of competition. It's not just a straightforward race either. In order to do really well, you have to pull off a number of successful stunts to earn yourself points and stay in the lead.

The game scrolls along sideways and at a fair old speed, as on the track are a number of "Wipeout-style" speed-ups. Going over them enables you to go faster, meaning you can pull off a better stunt on the jumps.
