Heatwave Racing

We think you should know that we’re a nightmare behind the wheel. Sometimes we forget to signal. And we also steer with our knees while eating tacos and reading the newspaper. The good news is that if you stay at your computer and play today’s featured game you have nothing to fear.

Tack on the Penzoil stickers because today you will be screeching around a racetrack at the brain-buckling speeds of NASCAR in Heatwave Racing. Your opponents are computer controlled auto racing machines who aren’t pushovers. They’ll be on you through all six laps trying to deny you your trophy. If you hit anything your car will take damage. At first the damage will be cosmetic, but if you damage your vehicle too much your car will burst into flames and that will be the end of the race for you.

The cartoonish look of the cars was a plus for us. They weren’t as real looking as they would be in other racing games, but we liked the solid look and how well they stood out against the track. Although this is an archetypical 3D car race, it’s also an enjoyable game that’s suitable for everyone. Even if you’re the type that likes driving the wrong way. Which we are.

We know that in real life no one in their right mind would sponsor us to drive their car. Can you blame them?
