GAMES WE LOVE

Junkyard Rush Racing

Looks don’t matter in these scrappy races.

Forget flashy supercars and shiny sponsors – the gritty rides in Junkyard Rush Racing keep it real. Get behind the wheel of a grimy pick-up truck or a beat-up sports coupe and bomb down dusty backroads. Boost past rivals in multiplayer matchups or tackle time trials where it’s just you, the clock and plenty of treacherous turns. You can even connect gamepads for local split-screen races – and take trash-talking to a new level.

What we love: The slick visuals. Garbage looks great in each wildly detailed track, from a car cemetery dotted with rusting hulks to a scrap heap of giant neon casino signs. Don’t brake to check out the graffiti, though – the competition doesn’t slow down!

It’s what’s under the hood that counts, but if you’re feeling fancy, you can splash in-game cash on a new paint job.

Quick tip: About halfway through the Container Yard, watch for a line of red and blue shipping containers snaking along the track. Veer left around the obstacle to snag three boost canisters lined up in a row!

Meet the creator: Junkyard Rush Racing was born when the team at Hungary’s isTom Games discovered they shared a passion for ’80s movies and daredevil car stunts. They’re also the makers of Mad Bullets and Nyan Cat: Lost in Space.
