  • 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. If you're a smart racer, you'll be sure to grab extra power-ups for a boost or blasting power. If you're not, then the tracks' spikes, mines, and other booby traps will surely be your downfall. In single- or multiplayer modes, you can get behind the wheel of any racecar, ranging from 1920s British cars to American stock cars. … Expand

    For a $20 game, the environments look pretty dang good. You will be racing over and under tables and beds and plants plus whatever else they throw at you. I wouldn't say its eye candy, but they look good.

    This is the very definition of a budget racer and I don't mean that in a good way. Basic arcadey track designs mix with stupidly simple controls and poor graphics for an end experience that falls somewhere below the average.

    Slot car racing is bloody boring enough without have to replicate it in a videogame. What's next? Snail racing?... It stinks.

    The very definition of a stripped-down budget title, as practically every aspect that would make a game fun or interesting is missing.

    One of the best games for the Xbox. Sure graphics are poor but it's only $20 bucks and is fun and simple.

    Game Informer's review is moronic. It is a SLOT CAR game, since when can you steer a slot car. I think this review should be removed from Metacritic, the reviewer is obviously an idiot. Sure this game doesn't have the greastest graphics but it is easy to pick up, fast and best of all fun. Multiplayer is great. … Expand
