New York Race is a game about racing in the future, inspired by Luc Besson's film "Fifth Element". There are more than 30 high-tech flying machines to choose and pilot, including the notorious Taxi and the cool police car.
The game has four different modes available: Championship mode, where you compete over four categories; Qualification, Beginner, Pro and Expert. Other modes include Single Race, Time Attack and Keirin, which eliminates contestants in last place at every checkpoint until the last man remains.
In every race, you can pick up elements that give you an added advantage: Water leaves a liquid sphere behind you that slows opponents down if they hit it, Fire allows you to shoot a homing fireball at your opponents, Earth activates a temporary shield and Air gives you a speed boost. With 3D action, you have complete freedom of movement on both vertical and horizontal axes.
The races take place on 12 tracks, which can be unlocked by advancing through levels. The tracks are divided into four districts: Jet Set, Middle Class, Seedy District and China Town.
