Akaei announces Toon Car
It's apparently wacky, zany and crazy
Akaei have hopped on the ever-popular Mario Karts bandwagon with their own entry into the cartoon-motor-racing-starring-people-with-giant-heads genre - Toon Car. Due for release in October, the game will feature fourteen "zany" toon characters to choose from, including a "levitating Sikh" and a Sumo wrestler. There's also a range of "crazy" circuits including Morocco, Japan, Egypt, the Moon and Venus, all of which will naturally feature a healthy sprinkling of "wacky" jumps, bonuses, power-ups, weaponry and traps to navigate your way through. Throw in the traditional championship and single player modes, Gran Turismo-style licenses to earn and multiplayer split-screen or LAN action, garnish with 3D graphics and then simmer gently for another two months.
While it's on the boil, why not check out the first screenshots of the game in action?
