About Red Bull Air Race – The Game:
Just like in real life, the action-packed racing game starts pilots off with training in the “pilot camp”. In Brazil, they prepare for the racing season and familiarize themselves with the controls. Then it’s off to the career mode on the trail of the 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship in eight different locations on three continents to gain the winner’s cup. All the courses in the game are modeled closely on the originals and are unlocked gradually. Six different aircraft, each with its own special flight characteristics, are available on release for action-packed duels. In the virtual hangar, they can be repainted and equipped with upgrades that provide even more speed and aerodynamics. In addition in Matchup, players are challenged by the 23 pilots of the 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship, who appear in the Master Class or Challenger Class.
Those who have more fun in thrilling duels than pursuing a pilot career can try their hand in the global Tournament mode, in which they must face other players from all over the world. Players who want to prove their mettle here must go through the same steps as in the real Red Bull Air Race in tough duels: Training, Qualifying, Top 12, Super 8, and Final 4. New events every week also provide variety.
No matter what mode you choose in “Red Bull Air Race – The Game”, only quick reactions and sure instincts will lead to victory in the rapid motor sports action. The score is provided by music from Heaven’s Basement, with the official song of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, and songs from AWOLNATION, Blitz Kids, Five Knives, and Beartooth.
