The Arcade mode simply allows you a standard one-shot timers-and-checkpoints race, like a single round of one of the championships. The Single Race mode boasts a number of additional ways to play, too. Each championship can be played at three different difficulty levels, too, so there’s plenty to keep you busy for quite a while just in that mode.
The main grand prix mode offers you five different championships to enter, each unfolding across four different tracks. There are several ways to play Hotshot Racing. And yes, you may well notice that Hotshot Racing is indeed a racing game that combines elements of all my favourite arcade racers from years gone by. But Sumo Digital’s involvement in its development means that it carries a fair amount of OutRun 2 DNA in there - Sumo Digital developed OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, the expanded version of OutRun 2 for home consoles - plus there’s a pretty strong emphasis on drift racing around corners, a la Ridge Racer.
Its most obvious inspiration comes from its untextured, low-poly visual style, which is reminiscent of Sega’s classic Virtua Racing. Hotshot Racing is an arcade racer specifically inspired by ’90s classics.
