Burning Road

Description

Burning Road is a 1996 arcade racing game for PlayStation in which you are timed in races and must race through checkpoints to gain more time. The game differs from other console arcade racing games in that you are timed to pick a track, a car and the transmission like in arcades. There are three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard.

In-game, there is a 'traffic' radar showing the player where opponents are (around the player's car only). The opponent in the lead has a silver cup icon above their vehicle, if the player gets in the lead, text saying 'RACE LEADER' displays at the top of the screen for a second informing them of being in the lead.

Practice: The mode is the equivalent to single race found in other racing games. It is possible to unlock the reverse version of the three tracks (bringing the track total to six) in the mode. You are against seven opponents in the mode.

Championship: Race on all the tracks in order with a chosen car. You must beat a certain time to qualify for the next track. As in practice, you are against seven opponents.

Link Mode: A multiplayer mode using the PlayStation's link cable functionality, you can race against one other human opponent only (no AI in this mode).
