You could just blow them away right there, but then the lap goal would drop back by one, turning the current lap into the final one and leaving you a very small window to catch up to first place. If you wait until after you’ve started the fourth lap, though, you’ll have a full circuit to catch up to first. There are also a handful of shooter-inspired arena modes. Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, and Capture the Flag are self-explanatory, and Domination is like Deathmatch, but your kills only count while you’re holding the only flag on the map.

In Defend the Base, the goal is to… well, defend your base from a zombie assault, and Survival is just about surviving as long as well.ĭestruction Derby and Domination Derby are Deathmatch and Domination, but without weapons – I hope you like ramming!įinally, there are the zombie modes, because not even a racing game is safe from the pop cultural obsession with zombies.

Under normal circumstances a zombie mode would earn the rolliest of eye-rolls from me, but it fits so well into the “mindless, cathartic violence” aesthetic of the game that I can’t be mad. It’s like Carmageddon, but slightly less antisocial because at least you’re running down zombies, not innocent pedestrians. So, Gas Guzzlers Extreme is a fun game, but on Xbox One, it’s missing one major thing: multiplayer.
