    Thanks for the video! The Arctic Attack level seemed a bit too sparse. Also the damage system seems a bit wonky. At one point you ran straight into a tree and flipped to your side only to receive no damage deductions. Although the sense of speed is pretty great. I definitely would have dug this game.

    Actually funny thing is "damage" does not deduct points... it adds them! I put infinite fuel on but after a certain level of points (tricks, jumps and damage) it gives you a boost you can use. Some trees give you damage points as well as some other objects in the game, but some don't so it gets a little confusing.. depends on the size of the tree. Ya my choice of levels was not the greatest, after playing it I think I showcased the worst ones x_x. Also every map is pretty damn big, including the Arctic one (except Arctic doesn't have much other than some ice... the ATV arctic is the best imo), I just did not go too far. Mostly wanted to show the controls and that the races work. was I the only one that laughed pretty hard when I hit the cow at 6:20 ish? :p One of the funnest thing to do is mow down the many animals around, including kangaroos hahaha :p

    Looks like a fun pick-up-and-play arcade type of game, too bad it didn't see a final release. Thanks for taking the time to showcase this game!

    If you want some history on the game, you can go to the developer's website here:
    http://www.firetoads.com/

    Start around 2004 and move up to 2009 from their "news" section for some interesting development information. They were originally developing the game for PC and Xbox, and it looks like by the time they were finished with the game, the 360 was announced so it was cancelled.

    The PS3 version seems to be related. It looks like the game was revamped from a different developer using similar assets and logos.

    Oh, let's hope that this build isn't only for 128mb RAM as WSPC2 and some others games.

    Wow, the game was developed pretty close to my house! I also live in Toronto. Also with a team of just 8 developing, I'd say there's a good chance I am holding the only (if not one of very very few) debug kits with this game on it. The company seems to have sold the game to the devs on the ps3's FUEL, I doubt this code will ever have a chance to be leaked again.

    The Xbox will be on its way to me shortly. I have one other small release to do soon for a beta version of a released game before I can think about other titles

    The 360/PS3 game is not related, it says so on the website.

    The game is a bit buggy, but coming from 2006, it is fairly far along
