Race against the clock in the action packed arcade mode, 1 of 5 game modes, exploiting the games advanced spheroid physics to control the Xorb at death defying speeds. Collect power ups along the course to upgrade the Xorb’s braking and air control system and limit ‘real time’ damage inflicted to the spheres metallic skin.
Win medals in career mode to progress through the 4 race classes, starting as a novice in the ‘Explorer’ class and stepping up to the gravity defying ‘Angel Class’. The Xorb’s are fully customisable, with over 2 million bodywork profile combinations and performance upgrades. Earn cash to unlock hidden tracks and bonus features, by winning races, finding hidden cash tokens, and gaining more air time than Tony Hawk on a half pipe.
