Nobilis tells gamers to 'set fire to your Nintendo DS' with Moto Racer
Not literally, though - that would be silly
Publisher Nobilis has released new information about its upcoming motorbike effort, Moto Racer DS, in a press release which begins with a promise that this game will "set fire to your Nintendo DS".
If that's what you want to do we'd certainly say playing Moto Racer is the better option, rather than the lighter and flammable hairspray option that was so popular in our day (modern children can probably just get hold of a flamethrower).
The game will apparently be the first truly multi-discipline DS motorbike game – certainly, we can't think of another one – with MotoGP, Traffic, Supercross and Freestyle races.
It's also been made especially for DS, so comes with precision stylus controls which allow the player to pull off tricks and take sharp curves.
Here are a few numerical facts for you, too. Moto Racer has three difficulty levels, five camera angles to view the game from, eight environments (including mountains, desert, forests and highways), 32 different motorcycles and 44 tracks.
There's also a multiplayer mode for up to four players (that's locally using one copy of the game) or up to eight players online.
Going into a bit more depth about the various game modes, then, we know MotoGP lets you compete in four different options – Championship, Single Race, Time Trail and Multiplayer – in races across 18 tracks,.
Traffic has you racing through cities on missions such as pizza delivery, slalom and domination. Supercross gets you all in need of a bath tearing up mud in dirt bike races. And Freestyle features stylus-dedicated bike trickery where you pull off stunts such as Lazy Boy and Kiss of Death in order to accumulate the most points.
Moto Racer DS is due for release towards the end of the year. Fans of very unsafe modes of transport should check back then for our review.
