Survival race
Survival racing is a pretty popular video game genre that was founded in the late 80s. In such games, the gamer drives a car that is stuffed with various weapons and gadgets. The main goal in survival races is to destroy all enemies and at the same time survive by yourself. As a rule, at the end of the match, there is only one player who is considered the winner.
This genre of games is very interesting and funny. To win, players must have good reflexes. In addition, in most games of this genre there are various traps and triggers, so you can destroy your enemies indirectly. This adds a strategic element to the game.
Well, now, perhaps, we will return to our rams and go directly to the project "Death Track: Revival" (Death Track Resurrection in the English version). In this review, we will take a closer look at this game. Interested in? Read the article.
"Death Track: Rebirth." Overview
The new Death Track saw the light in 2008 thanks to the developer Skyfallen Entertainment and the publisher 1C. The events of "Dearh Track: Revival" take place in the near future, in a world that has just survived a nuclear disaster. Anarchy reigns everywhere, devastation and inhumanity. Survivors organized a small and bloodthirsty community. As a leisure activity, people prefer to watch a show that resembles gladiatorial fights. This show is a survival race called Death Track. But the show is going through hard times. Professional racers refuse to risk their lives, ratings are rapidly falling. To stir up interest, the organizers decide to invite amateurs, unknown to the street riders, into the game. You are one of these pilots. You have to show your driving skills and, most importantly, survive.

As for cars, the game has a fairly extensive assortment. There are 10 futuristic cars in Death Track, which during the game can be improved and tuned for the money earned in battles. Weapons can be installed on cars, of which there are about 7 types in the game. At the same time up to 3 guns can be installed on one machine. They can also be upgraded for money.
It is also worth mentioning the delightful and dynamic soundtrack. Sound accompaniment was performed immediately by three professional studios. Therefore, you can not worry about the quality of musical compositions.
