Product Details
The countdown begins and suddenly deep roars pierce the air as all the cars sprint from their starting line: the Grand Prix has begun. Dust and wind whip your helmet as you take the first corner. You push the engine to the limit, you're almost skidding, but by tightening your grip on the steering wheel you slide through the apex of the turn and stay in first position. The race has begun!
To stay ahead of the pack you'll have to push your car to the limit.
Will you be able to sustain the long straights or will the engine let you down in the last corner because it will have overheated too much?
Based on simple and intuitive mechanics, Heat puts you in the driver's seat during the chaotic racing of the 60s.
Choosing the right car upgrades will help you negotiate corners and keep the engine cool enough without losing too much speed. But what will really count for victory will be your piloting skills.
Experience the thrill of a single race or set up a Championship to play an entire season in one evening, customizing your car before each race to claim the top spot on the podium.
Add Legendary Autopilots via Legends Mode so you can challenge them directly, or add them as additional opponents in multiplayer games.
In a game of Heat all players drive a car around a circuit for a set number of laps in order to determine who is the best driver.
At the beginning of each round you can change gears, which will indicate how many cards you can play in that round. Control the speed of your car by adding the value of these cards to move it the respective number of squares on the circuit, fighting for the best position.
If you are playing this racing game it means that you love speed and therefore you will want to play your most powerful cards as soon as possible. However, racing requires some skill to navigate the circuit, so be careful not to exceed the suggested speed limit for each corner or your car will start to overheat; if you overdo it, you risk skidding. Manage your speed well and take care of your engine if you want to stand a chance of being on the podium!
