Go Speed Racer!
Date: 2-8-10 By: Julie Kill
Namco debuted Gamewax's Go Go Grand Prix, a new "digital toy hybrid racer" at the European Amusement and Gaming Expo (EAG) in London last week.
The game is a simple four-player slot car racer. It can be operated in four modes: general amusement, customizable tournament, midway-style redemption, and regular redemption.
Similar to slot car racing, the 1:32 scale cars travel on a special playfield that is flat with a groove that runs down the middle. Metal strips on either side of the groove help provide power to the slot cars as they speed along the winding track. The amount of pressure applied to the trigger in the hand controller determines the speed of the slot car. However, if a player approaches a turn too quickly, the car will slide out slightly and brake while giving the hand controller a vibrating buzz from the "G-Force" motor. This alerts the player that the speed should be decreased when approaching this turn the next time around. Unlike traditional slot cars, the cars in this game do not come off the tracks.
Go Go Grand Prix will start showing up in arcades, bowling centers, etc. in the next few months.
