But with great speed comes less control, and inevitably there will be crashes, tumbles, falling, and flailing. Features a short but challenging single player campaign, where you follow Drillbot Derek on his first day on the job.

Up to 4 players can race against each other, both in local splitscreen mode and in online play, through a variety of courses. Bots can be added to make up the numbers. Boosts, signal jammers, and destructive lasers are all fair game, drillbots can be rebuilt and be back...
