Mad Tracks on XBLA this Wednesday photo

Mad Tracks will be this week's one and only Xbox Live Arcade release. As the title of the game suggests, it is a racing game -- more specifically, a "3D racing party game." If Mad Tracks sounds like your cup of tea, you're going to need 800 Microsoft Points for its debut this Wednesday.

Some game features include:

*15 distinct challenges (6 races & 9 mini-games) provide a full-fledged racing game experience

*2 stackable power-ups (rockets, freezer, oil drop, EMP and more!)

*12 sleek looking cars to choose from

*4 player multiplayer over Xbox LIVE and 4 player local multiplayer via split screen mode

*Championship mode & Arcade mode

*2 free gamer pictures

*Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points

Two expansion packs (350 MP each) are also slated for release in the near-future. Each pack will offer an additional 15 races and mini games. The potential for Mad Tracks to be another fun Mario Kart style game is there, let's just hope it delivers.

@ Buck F1tches,

Did you just create a new name or can you change your old name?

pandlcg, I had it changed, but it wasn't easy. I had to complete a series of humiliating and degrading tasks for the dtoid crew, which involved but was not limited to puppies, peanut butter, and my happy place. I'll never look at those cute puppies the same again...

I'll get the trial. I have 800 points burning a hole in my xbox. I hate having points because I know i'm going to spend them.

I'm not interested unless it's similar to Rock n' Roll racing.

It's sort of a knock off of the old micro machines racing games, but not as much fun. I have no plans of ever purchasing anything for it though, unless my friends do so as well. 6/10
