![]() Growing up, I was lucky enough to watch him, as he raced through the Grand Prix circuits in what seemed an effortless manner. The latest DLC for Horizon Chase Turbo features one of Formula One’s all-time best – Ayrton Senna. But, playing locally with friends is just as fun too, with up to four players locally on split screen The AI will still take up the balance of starting positions, and as in single player mode, each competitor must make their way through the field in the hope of winning the coveted gold trophy. Players can take part in the campaign or in tournaments where points are scored depending on where you finish. The turbo boost can be a huge advantage, but it can often take a lap or two to work out the optimal place to use. These boosts certainly add to the arcade nature of the game, although there can be some strategy involved in devising when to use them. Apart from that, that only other button that comes into play is that controlling the Turbo. There aren’t too many reasons to brake though, with bends and sharper corners being managed by taking your foot off the pedal (or your thumb off the A) momentarily. The controls are extremely simple, allowing for younger gamers to play without too many hassles - accelerating, by default, with the A button on a controller and braking with the B button. Although crashing doesn’t do anything to your vehicle, it does slow any momentum you had and will require gamers to accelerate up to top speed again. At the beginning of the races, they are bunched together and just when you think you can squeeze between two of them, they’ll decide to move closer together, often causing you to crash into the rear of one of them. The back markers, although easy to pass, can often be troublesome, especially on the tighter tracks. Like most AI racers, those at the rear of the pack are easy to pass, but as you work your way through the field, the opposition cars are spread further apart. Players start from the back of the grid and must use their driving skills to move their way through the pack. The main game has players racing across different areas of the world, with each location unlocked when players collect enough points, through winning races and collecting coins scattered throughout each track. It is an arcade style racing game with vibrant retro visuals, simple controls, and a heck of a lot of fun old-school racing for up to four players. Horizon Chase Turbo follows a similar path. Players would start at the back of the grid and then attempt to weave their way through the field to become the winner of the race and the resulting bragging rights – well, until the next race anyway. The casual nature of those racing games made them a joy to play, particularly Daytona USA when a group of friends could sit alongside each other and race through the various tracks. We could be found kicking a football or hitting a cricket ball depending on the season, shooting each other in laser tag (the true FPS experience) or hitting the arcade and racing against each other in Daytona USA or playing Outrun. ![]() ![]() When I was (much) younger, my friends and I would do several activities during school holidays.
