TrackRacing!

Although TrackRacing, the online game from silvergames.com could take a few minutes load depending on how quick your internet speed is, the wait is well worth it. You can either play as a guest or log in under your username and password. Once you choose between the two, you'll be able to choose your player from a good handful of female and male characters. You'll then be able to choose the vehicle you'll be driving for the race. If this is your first time playing, you'll only have one choice of car, which is a white and blue striped racing vehicle that sports a Finland flag on the side. The remaining cars are locked until you achieve a certain number of medals. Depending on the car, the medals needed to unlock it will range from 16 to 131.

One you arrive at the game's main screen, you'll have a number of choices. You can either simply begin a race, race verses your friends, or begin a two-player split screen race. You are also able to go back to the car selection screen, adjust the settings, and play the game through Facebook to unlock a new car. When choosing the Start a Race button, there are a number of tracks to choose from, many of which are initially locked. You can select to race against 0, 1, 3, or 6 opponents, and you can even race in the rain and at night to make the game more challenging. The controls are fairly easy to master. The arrow keys control your direction while the space bar controls your break. For more advanced controls, you can also use the backspace to revert time, U for a flashlight, and F for your horn.The only downfall to this game is that every so often the screen might fail to load altogether. You'll see a red box at the top left corner of the screen that says "Fatal Error: Null," and you'll have to refresh the entire page in order to get the game up and running again. Overall, though, this is a great game to play if you're looking to kill some time in the middle of the day by playing a competitive racing game. There are enough car options and track choices that you won't be left feeling bored or unfulfilled after only a handful of races. This is a game you can play with other online gamers or with your friends, and it's something you're almost guaranteed to become addicted to. They also have a version specialized for download on your Android phone if you decide you enjoy the game that much.
