Rumble Racing is an arcade, combat-style video game that can be played in co-op, single, and multiplayer modes. In this game you'll face other cars in a series of races to win the five championship cups. Throughout the game there are 15 race tracks to unlock. Each track is different in its own way and features short cuts, power ups, stunt opportunities. A new feature applied in this game is the "Trick". Tricks carry an important role in finishing races in a faster time. Doing multiple tricks rewards the player with additional speed boost depending on the difficulty of the trick. As the game progresses tricks are necessary in completing harder missions. "This extreme racer combines break-neck speeds, multi-car pile- ups, and diverse track environments to appeal to racing game fans of all ages and skill levels."[3] The game also presents 35 vehicles all with custom paint jobs. Due to the NASCAR license being removed,[2] the game has access to a lot more customization features.
Rumble Racing on PS4/PS5 or just PS5. Whether Remastered in HD or just rereleased with upscaling, can someone at EA try to make this happen, please? A new one would be great of course, but I think releasing the PS2 version digitally on modern consoles first would really get more people on board (new and old fans) plus it'd be extremely nice to have a digital copy - especially in 1080p, maybe even with trophies if not too much of a hassle. A new game could follow!
This game is way too good to let go to waste, it's beyond underrated and has a ton of untapped potential. The game still plays like a modern one, even better than some modern arcade racing games which is insane. Brilliant and under appreciated game that deserves more recognition, play time, and so on. The graphics have even aged extremely well, among everything else in the game (game design, gameplay/physics, etc etc).
Please heavily consider re releasing the PS2 version on PS4/PS5 and possibly making a new one to follow that has the same feel.
Rumble Racing is a PlayStation 2 racing video game from Electronic Arts. Cars of choice are used to race against other cars. Each car has three styles: rookie, pro and elite. To unlock Pro and Elite the player has to win championship races. It gets harder as play progresses, but new cars can be unlocked along the way. To unlock cars, the player must have an overall score of first place. Higher points are awarded for first, second or third place. Placement also determines where the player is placed in subsequent races.
Counterpart of Jolly Roger, through all three classes, Silver Streak's appearance does not change much. In rookie, the body is in white with purple racing stripes running across the top. It stays the same in pro, only growing a small lip on the front bumper. In elite, it features a black rear wing, black body kit and a blower supercharger. Silver Streak is based on 1999 Ford Taurus NASCAR stock car.
After receiving a Disney Town Passport from Ventus, Terra stops by at Disney Town. Just then, he sees a group of Unversed on the racing course of "Rumble Racing". He attempts to pursue them only to nearly be run over by Pete in his vehicle, posing as "Captain Dark". Luckily, Queen Minnie alerts Terra just in time for him to avoid it. After being scolded by Chip and Dale for running onto the racetrack, which is against the rules, Terra explains that when fighting Unversed, you have to break the rules. Chip and Dale angrily compare him to Pete, after which he appears in the guise of Captain Dark. Pete talks to Terra and runs away to prepare for his next race. After Chip and Dale explain to Terra that Pete always breaks the rules while racing and needs to be stopped, they suggest to him to participate in the race as a means to defeat the Unversed and stop Pete without breaking the rules.
There is no story behind it. You're merely racing in one of three dozen cars (many based on real-life designs) in fifteen different tracks, ranging from airports to old mines to specially designed stunt arenas. Taking part in either races, stunt shows, or in one-on-one duels, you'll need to learn not only how to drive, but also when to use power-ups and where the best short cuts are. Power-ups include oil slicks to bombs to a tornado that cleans the course ahead of you. Through the Championship mode, you'll be able to unlock all the vehicles and tracks.

In August, we are hosting a Closed Beta Test, or what we like to call, Summer Camp. At Rumble Racing Star Summer Camp, players can nurture friendships, find bugs (pun intended), and develop their racing skills through tournaments and special events.
Rumble Races deliver an intense and aggressive experience, often featuring tight technical turns, over and under sections, varied terrain, and frequent battles with up to 7 friends in Lakeshore Online. Success means embracing the chaos. Send it on the biggest jumps for big air and more boost, knock rivals off-track, and make quick decisions to blast through forks in the road and leave the competition in the dust.
Be the first to take Micro Machines V4 for a test drive and experience its incredible mix of miniature mayhem and maximum multiplayer racing with the PC playable demo, available now www.codemasters.co.uk/micromachines> (in Downloads)
Micro Machines V4 brings back the series' much-loved breakneck micro racing gameplay in all its glory and launches Friday, June 30th for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the PSP system and PC with a Nintendo DS edition to follow
The PC demo lets up to four players duke it out on three outrageous tracks; around the kitchen, on the rooftops and inside the chicken coop. Players can get in some single-player practice as well with Quick Battle races against AI opponents.
The Kitchen Capers track has players belting around the kitchen counters, racing over scorching stovetops and leaping from the countertops to an ironing board. Players should beware the soapy lake that is the kitchen sink and use the floating sponge as an improvised raft to avoid a watery grave.
Then it's outside to the chicken coop in the Pecking Peril race, which holds the horrors of seemingly giant chickens that try to peck the wheels off the tiny racers. Get past them and there are still their boulder-like eggs to dodge as they come tumbling like a landslide.
Finally, roar around the roof in Rooftop Rumble, racing down drainpipes and catching the updraft from an air vent. Collect weapon power-ups and let loose a fury with machine guns, missiles, electric-shockers and more!
Be first off the starting grid and download the new PC demo and check the latest videos, available now at www.codemasters.co.uk/micromachines

What: Combat racing game. Details: This is the one bright spot in the otherwise dismal state of arcade racing on the PlayStation 2. Specifically, its championship mode, the standout of four game-play options (the others offer single races, one-on-one showdowns and a stunt challenge). In it, players compete in 15 race circuits for the first-place finishes that will unlock more tracks and cars. Vehicles -- 35 in all -- range from your basic muscle cars to more specialized conveyances like a jet car and a jacked-up minivan. They can all be equipped with any of the weapons and power-ups from EA Sports' NASCAR Rumble, such as on-demand oil slicks, bombs, shields, explosives and more. New to Rumble Racing is the ability to hold two power-ups at once, then decide which one to use first, and a nifty replay option with a choice of camera views. The biggest news, though, is the introduction of stunts and tricks, which (as in EA's exhibition snowboarding title SSX) earn you quick speed bursts -- the more complicated you make your stunts, the longer your car stays over the speed limit. This opens up new strategies for game play: Do you execute more tricks so your car moves faster, or do you forgo the tricks and go for the power-ups? Throughout, the game excels at recreating the sensation of cruising at more than 100 mph; it's realistic enough to make you look for the cops in the rearview mirror. Bottom line: Fulfills my need for speed. -- Tom Ham
