Max Power Racing is an arcade racer that offers players the opportunity to drive some of the world's most desirable cars from such manufacturers as Toyota, Renault, Marcos and Mitsubishi in a series of races spanning 10 international settings. As well as driving under normal daytime conditions, players will also face fog, mist, rain, snow and night-time driving as they battle to prove their dominance.
Battle for Championship points to reveal more secrets and advance to the next level of competition in this next-generation racer that combines incredible realism with arcade-quality excitement.
Choose from Arcade and Championship, for single player or split screen action. Arcade mode follows the usual format where a world map reveals that only two venues are initially available to play, with a further eight venues screaming out to be unlocked. Championship mode offers a choice of four seasons, two exclusively designed for GTI class cars and two for high performance vehicles.
The tracks have an international flavour to them, with settings such as India, Peru, Norway and Rome on offer. More simulation aspects come to life when racing in both Arcade and Championship modes.
Named that way quite late in development as it was originally called 'C3 Racing' ('Car Constructors Championship'). Eutechnyx told me "Was released in Europe under "C3 Racing", but in the UK we were able to secure a tie-in with the UK tuning/car magazine 'Max Power', so the game was released here at 'Max Power Racing'. Strangely a UK release under 'C3 Racing' also has been found and Eutechnyx says "I *think* 'C3 Racing' may have been released in the UK as an unofficial import. Has 31 tracks listed on the back cover compared to the 30 on C3 and the time counter in the intro FMV is running correctly.
