There's something about racing games with RC toy cars that is beyond appealing to me. Maybe it's the tracks -- they are often huge in proportion to the adorable little cars and tend to involve all sorts of ridiculous ramps, loops, and obstacles. Perfect material for a racing game, wouldn't you say?
Whatever the case may be, these racers have the potential to be pretty fun, and the PlayStation Network is even getting one next Thursday called Smash Cars. Besides the price, which is $14.99, everything you need to know about Smash Cars and more can be found in this handy video.
Awarding boost for pulling off daring acrobatic feats appears to be the big selling point, and while I'm sure it's been done before, I don't believe it's been done in a racing game with RC cars before. And hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Nothing to say about Smash Cars though.
Had it on Xbox and would always have mates round to play it =D
Smash Cars reminds me of ExciteTruck, I never got a chance to play ExciteTruck but it always looked a ton of fun.
Can't wait for Smash Cars... it will hark back to the good ol' days of playing fun games with my brothers =D
.....while getting pretty Mashed.
oh yeah, RC cars whooo yeah!
Will it have crappy six-axis controls?
I've never heard of Mashed, but after learning it's developed by the dudes behind Circuit Breakers, I'd love to see it's return.
Good ol' Wikipedia.
