ShockRods is about shooting and avoiding being shot by jumping and dodging. ShockRods features solo and team games that take place in natural surroundings and future sports arenas. Your goal in ShockRods is to score points – by shooting your opponents and achieving objectives; scoring goals, stealing the other team’s flag, or dealing the most destruction… As you drive your ShockRod to VICTORY! 


CUSTOMISE YOUR SHOCKROD 
Want a fancy paint job with flip-flop paint and crazy pattern overlay? Check! Want to emit bubbles from your boost ports and make the noise of a chicken when you press the taunt button? Check! Want to explode in a massive pink skull shaped ball of flame when your car explodes? Check! ShockRods has all the customisation options you could ever want – and plenty you never knew you wanted till now! Use them to make your ShockRod stand out from the crowd, and choose from a whole selection of ShockRods as the starting point for your crazy customisations! 


GAME MODES FOR EVERYONE 
ShockRods features familiar and new arena based gameplay. It’s going to be very fast and completely furious fun as you take your pick from the following games (playable online against other players, or offline against AI bots): 
- Deathmatch – always a favourite, it’s every ShockRodder for themselves as you battle to get the target kill count first! 
- Team Deathmatch – like Deathmatch, but with some friendlies on your side who will help you reach that target tally of destruction. 
- Capture the Flag – another team-based game; head across the map to grab the other team’s flag from their base and get it back to your base. But watch out – the other team is trying to do the same thing! 
- ShockBall – like some sort of team based over-sized basketball game but with a giant metal ball and masses of explosions! 
- Golden Ram – hey everyone, go grab the golden ram attachment and use it to RAM everyone else while trying to hang on to it for longest! 


A BUNCH OF EXOTIC ARENAS 
ShockRods has a variety of imaginative locations for the ShockRodder to leap and shoot around: From the snowy perils of a precipitous abandoned mine, to the futuristic ball arena, taking in the pleasant vistas from atop the grassy summit of a summer mountain top, to the stomach-flipping drops around the dam and the mysterious malfunctioning reactor core with its pit of lava. 


GUNS AND GAGS 
There’s an armoury-load of guns and some crazy pickups that a ShockRodder can use to ruin his opponent’s day; from the chaingun to the grenade launcher, railgun to rocket launcher. Or use a special pickup on them, and give everyone a giggle; shoot them with the balloon gun and watch as they get dangled in space off the end of it, or encase them in an ice cube and slide them over a cliff! Bash them with a one-ton weight or fire a shield wall to stop them in their tracks! Set a trap that will spring them into space! There’s fun and games to be had while you’re winning at ShockRods!
