Bang Bang Racing-A fun and simple racing game missing online multiplayer

*Bang Bang Racing* is a top down 3D racing game with local multiplayer, a
cartoon feel and a variety of vehicles. Overhead racing games have been
popular since Super Sprint in the '80s, as they are great mix of simple
gameplay and competition. Bang Bang Racing has 3D graphics and scrolling, but
the camera always sits above the track. There's a low learning curve and
*racing is fun*. You can accelerate, brake, and nitro your way around the
tracks, which are all pretty short. The single player campaign is relatively
short, although if you set the difficulty on high, the competition is tough.
There is local multiplayer, and it's multiplayer where Bang Bang Racing
really gets fun. While many people complain about the loss of local
multiplayer in today's games, it's really disappointing to see Bang Bang
Racing *doesn't have online multiplayer* too, as it's ideal for it. Some of
the in race obstacles, such as oil and leaves (!) have more effect than they
should. Other recent examples of overhead racing, like the iOS game Reckless
Racing, or the Playstation Vita title Motorstorm RC have shown it's possible
to make a great overhead racing game that *mixes simplicity with deep and
challenging gameplay*. *Bang Bang Racing could be great, but it needs more
challenges and online competition to be a complete package. It's fun for a
while, but lacks depth.*Download *Bang Bang Racing* in Softonic
