Joy Ride Turbo has been released to the public! My rave review below.

I have finished the entire game and I am still playing it to set times against my friends. I’m a bit biased having worked on the game, but I think it’s a very fun quality product and I am quite proud of it. For those that don’t know Kinect has been completely ripped out of this version and we have added new tracks, game modes, the stunt parks are back, cars have different properties/tuning, 4player split screen local play, 8 player online play, new weapons, as well as all the weapons have been retuned to support competitive core racing play. See if you can beat my times in Time Trials (gamer tag malcolm360), we have a top 100 leaderboard for all game modes or you can sort by friends only. In a nutshell you could kind of describe us as Mario Kart HD, but with good car physics/enertia and depth to the driving, and cool looking cars, and good art, and resolution, and an exploration collection mode. You can buy the game on XBLA for 10 dollars/800 points, which is a great deal since there is over 2 years of work that was put into this game and you can easily get 5-10 hours of enjoyment out of the game as I did.

I was the art directer on this game and I also got to create the title screen image on this version. Art dump below of the team's great work.

I love the rocks! Great work

Really like that asian bridge/temple thing! Thanks for sharing!

This has come a long way since last I saw! Those tracks are incredible- assets, lighting, textures n all!

love the style of this!

Congrats! My teacher is the level designer! It looks Great, you guys really nailed a solid style. I will pick this one up on my xbox. I love the canyon rocks, those levels are my favorite.

How did you like working with a small team?

Art direction is indeed very solid on this one. Love those vibrant colors and shapes.

Great use of colour and strong stylized textures. +1 from me

holy crap! looks amazing!

I'm tempted to say it's a shame to have to have those generic microsoft dudes driving as I get the feeling you would have been much more creative with characters :]

Nice. I wanted to play the first Joy Ride but having to use the Kinect killed that idea. I am happy to try this out now! I'm hoping it will cure my urge to play Mario Kart. The environments look fantastic.

looks so fun! Very good visual and.. yes! The rocks are amazing.
congrats

Nice work I love the cell shading.

the shattered Temple is pretty rad too!

really cool man!

some nice bold colours, well done!

Thanks a lot guys, I will pass your kind words on to our art team.

Really love the style though, it's a shame I don't own an xbox. If however you guys ever release this for the PC I'll be sure to pick it up ;)

Awesome job!

Love the art style in the new one. Lighting and textures with the nice silhouettes on everything works really well.

wow what awesome style. I love the desert race track.

This all looks really, really nice! As been said before, the art direction is awesome and the art is well executed! Great job to you and your team!
