Street Trace NYC is a combat hoverboard racing game set in the Outer Boroughs of New York City by independent software developer Gaia Industries for the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service. The game will cost 800 Microsoft points[1].
[edit] Gameplay
The game will feature both single player and multiplayer play.
The single player game will involve a story arc that comprises five tournaments which include 63 matchups and three bosses, as well as 18 "trial" games that will be posted on the Xbox Live online leaderboard. The player is awarded four types of medals depending on the skill of their performance (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) in both the tournaments and trial games.
The game will feature two chief modes of racing: Racing and Arena:
- Racing games include:
- Screamer: standard racing without weapons
- Chaos: racing without a finish line - the race is "won" by collecting flags and shooting targets
- Streettrace: combat racing on extended tracks
- Arena games include
- Flag: a Capture the flag variant in which flags are carried to a target for points
- Hunter: a version of Kill the Carrier
- Chaos: similar to the Racing version, except within an arena
- Takedown: a deathmatch game
The game will allow two to four players on a single machine (split-screen), with up to four bots, and up to eight players online over Xbox Live.
