Release Date Jan '96 Rapid Review Hi-Octane is a futuristic racing game that is set in the 21st century. Select one of the six vehicles to race around the nine available tracks in a multitude of racing options.
Championship is a contest against five other cars in a series of races.
Single race allows you to select a car and a track to race it on, as does the split screen two player mode. Hot seat is a team contest where a countdown is given before the control pad is handed over to a waiting player. Death Match is a last man standing battle. Clone Race is a time trial practice where your best lap is recreated in the form of a ghost car. Hi-Octane uses Bullfrogs Magic Carpet game engine which means that rather than be surrounded by impressive scenery, you are once again treated to a misty drab background.
