The wonderful art style and slick presentation in place on this title will make you feel as if you are playing Initial D, the video game. It sports 16 JDM cars and 20 neon infused tracks to slide them around on. It has a hint of Ridge Racer in its DNA, but with far more depth in core driving mechanics.
Discover dark worlds or drift through August in Games with Gold! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, embark on a journey thru a desolated kingdom in Blue Fire, and then race thru a retro 90s arcade style game in Inertial Drift.
$39.98 in value 😂 you'd think for the final hurrah they'd actually throw something good out
Games With Gold was a terrible service but Inertial Drift is actually a pretty good game.
Gwg send the 360 titles off with a bang (portal 2) but gwg itself goes off with a whimper
Paul writes: "There are two distinct styles of racing game: the simulation type, where tweaking tyre pressure to shave a tenth of a second off your lap time makes lots of sense, and the arcade style where you can be found pulling off outrageous handbrake turns and getting style points for it; games in which you don't care how much pressure is in your tyres as long as the neon under the chassis is working. So, in this article I'm going to embrace the sillier side of the racing games - the arcade racers, the anything goes side of the genre."
Paul writes: "If you like an arcade racer, if you like drifting, and especially if you like drifting in arcade racers, Inertial Drift on Xbox One is the game for you. Even if you usually like the more serious end of the racing spectrum, I defy anyone not to be gripped by the sheer exuberance of the game world and the outrageous handling that is on display."
Looks fun!
