The charging of the cars from drained only takes 10 minutes, and we found the battery life lasted between 30 and 45 minutes each time. Each player is required to have a phone or tablet (even an iPod Touch would work) but in this day and age, there aren’t many households without a couple of smartphones in the house. My friend preferred the iPad though, due to the larger screen allowing for easier selection and control of speed and weaponry. Having the larger screen was really nice, but personally I preferred the phone as it was smaller and easier for the steering. Each car has it’s own personal arsenal, really giving each player a unique experience and mixing up the gameplay.Īfter using our phones for a while, we decided to switch to tablets and both played using an iPad.
Located on the right hand side, you have two buttons to operate these weapons one for primary attack the other is for a special attack.

On top of all of this, you also get weaponry attached to the car, which you can upgrade or swap out as you earn XP. Tilting your phone to the left or right veers you onto the four available lanes, and you can control your speed via the on-screen throttle, which you slide up and down to vary your speed. You then race the using a mobile device (Android/iOS or Kindle Fire) to control the cars. The computers that are built into the cars stop it from shooting off the side of the track the only way your car can leave the track is if you are knocked off by an opponent, and even then when this happened several times the cars were able to find their own way back onto the track and carry on as normal. The track pieces magnetise together, making them extremely easy to construct and dismantle. Oh boy, we couldn’t have been more wrong and we were thoroughly surprised.įirst off, the cars just sit on the track instead of slot on. I have to admit, at first we were expecting just a run of the mill normal racing game, which would get a bit tedious after a while of playing. This is a track racing game, that you play with up to four players (or play with with AI-controlled cars), You race around the track with different mode and objectives, from trying to stay in the lead to how many time you can destroy your opponents. We took a look at the Anki Overdrive Starter Kit, which comes with a wide selection of track for you to use, as well as two cars and a charging station which can simultaneously charge up to four cars.Įxplained in the simplest terms I can conjure up, just so you can rush out and buy the damn thing as soon as you possibly can once you’re through reading this. If you remember the old days of Scalextric racing car sets, where your cars would have to be manually slotted into the track and prone to coming off at every available corner, this is nothing like that.
