Nitro Crestway

Nitro Crestway is all about the drift. The tracks curl through canyons and neon cities, and the whole car handles like it wants to slide. Tilt or touch steering both work well, though we settled on touch for tighter corners.

There's a light upgrade system for your cars, and enough tracks to keep things fresh for a couple of weeks. The AI can rubber-band a bit, which stung in the harder cups, but the sense of speed is genuinely good.

It won't reinvent racing games, but as a pick-up-and-play racer it delivers exactly what it promises. Great for short bursts.
