This week’s arcade release is Mad Tracks (as many of you have all ready guessed). Personally I got some hands on experience with this game last week at the DC stop on the Gamerscoreblog tour. I didn’t get to spend alot of time on it - but long enough to compare it to some of my favorite games of the past. RC Pro-Am & Diddy Kong Racing immediately come to mind to give you an idea of what kind of game this is.
Following shortly after the game release will be two expansion packs (called Bravo and Encore) which will expand the tracks you have available to get your racing fix. So why not take a break off of Forza 2 and all its realistic racing, and take a few spins in these mini cars?
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 Load Inc., features 12 power-ups to keep engines revved up and players in the fast lane ahead of the competition.
Game Features
- 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 multiplayer over Xbox LIVE and 4 player local multiplayer via split screen mode
- Championship mode & Arcade mode
- 2 free gamer pictures
- Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points

I saw they are already planning DLC expansion packs. I hope they are free because nothing is more frustrating that when they release half a game and then release the other half as DLC that you have to pay for.
From what I have read there are 2 packs in the works and rumor is they will be 350MP ($4.37 USD) each.
