Appearing to be taken from a movie scene, sprint through various backdrops, using all kinds of cars. Since it's unveiling, we've been flooded with inquires asking if such beautiful graphics were really being generated on a home console. Through the artificially lit and constructed world, we've produced a more realistic virtual space. As the driver, the sense of immersion may have you feeling as if you're performing in a movie scene. The winner is the one who keeps their cool as they experience the exhilarating high speed controls, while striving for victory until reaching the goal.
