Choose fromm one of six chracters - each with their own stories to tell - as an entrant in this year's Tracer Games, a series of challenges that will take you and your salvaged hoverboard through the bleak cityscapes of future New York City's crippled outer boroughs. Features a progressive single player campaign with a complete market system for tricking out your board and equipment, a unique trail mechanic - dangerous electromagnetic exhaust that damages players in your wake; unlockable characters and content; same-console or System Link multiplayer and a ranked online league system via Xbox Live Arcade.

Features:

• A different kind of racing: Race and battle your opponents on decked-out hoverboards in three different arenas and three different street circuits. Grind your hoverboard along metal rails to gain an advantage. Your board's emissions give passing players a strategic speed boost, allowing those falling behind to rubber-band off the race leaders.
  
  
• Numerous game modes: Take on the single player campaign with 18 time trials and five champion tournaments, or go multiplayer with four-player split-screen or up to eight players on Xbox LIVE. Choose from four different arena game types, Flag, Hunter, Chaos, and Takedown, and from three different street game types, Screamer, Chaos, and Street Trace.
  
  
• Multiplayer join-in-progress: The Street Trace:NYC lobby shows how many people are playing online, allows players to join tournaments in progress, and to follow games as they progress.
  
  
• Decked-out hoverboards: Upgrade your board's engine, boost, shields and jump capabilities, and use weapons such as lasers, mines, stampede, and rockets. Gotta love rockets.
