  • Summary: Slot car racing isn't just for kids anymore. Set in a fantasy penthouse, Grooverider: Slot Car Thunder lets you experience quick lane changes, 360-degree loops, and crazy twists and turns on 20 slot car tracks.

In single- or multiplayer modes, you can get behind the wheel of any racecar, ranging from 1920s British cars to American stock cars. … Expand

    Able to separate itself form the pack through its simple control scheme and fast action gameplay. If you are looking for a racer for the kid who always crashes into the wall in other racing games, then Slot Car Thunder is the perfect choice.

    It's a sad world when "budget gaming" is synonymous with "poke your eye out with a dull stick."

    Basic arcadey track designs mix with stupidly simple controls and poor graphics for an end experience that falls somewhere below the average.
