Avatar Grand Prix is a 3D racing game for the XBox 360 that allows you to race your Avatar across 8 themed tracks against up to 7 other cars, up to 3 of which can be your friends in splitscreen multiplayer mode. There are two separate tournaments to race in - a Grand Prix which allows racing on all tracks against the best computer cars, or a single-player Time Trial in which you are against the clock. Or there's the "Quick Race", where you can decide the number of cars, speed, laps, grid positions and power ups for yourself!



There are loads of features to the game, including:
  • Test Drive - A tutorial which provides a great way to get used to the controls before you start.
  • Multiple Speeds - All races can be raced at 50cc, 100cc or 150cc so you can master the game with slower cars before building up to the fast ones.
  • Power-Ups - Speed boosts, mines, question marks, rockets, lightning and shields. It's not just about pure speed, it's about taking as many people out as you can! Power ups can be turned on or off, or can be set to "insane" (try it and see!).
  • Mirror and Reverse Mode - Once you know all the tracks like the back of your hand, try them in mirror! Then reverse. Then reverse mirror.
  • Track Records and Ghost Cars - The fastest time for any given track at any given speed at any given orientation (mirror, etc) is stored, and with each of these you can race a "ghost" of your fastest lap.
Avatar Grand Prix is now available on XBox Live Indie games, and as usual can be purchased from the XBox 360 Dashboard, or the XBox website by clicking here. Check out the track and power-up guides, and these handy hints and tips too!
