In the stick-and-ball-sports genre of
computer games, Hothead Games had a major contribution with the Big Win series.
But it had more in its store to give a pleasant surprise to the gamers. And now
it was a super smart presentation of stock car racing game that has in its
wings collectible card feature that comes up in a light sports fashion putting
every little thing in place.
Gameplay
The starter card pack is the introductory
step which leads to the next ones. Here is where you get to strengthen your team
right at its formative stage. Choose the right car for yourself from a range of
cars introduced to you at the beginning of the cars. You have to do the same
while choosing the driver, the transmission, an engine and the steering. Take along
with you a set of six members that contains a jack man, a gas man, two tire
carriers and two tire changers who will repair your car whenever it falls into
the pits.
As and when you keep proceeding through the
levels, your team elements will transform their make from bronze to silver,
silver to gold and then gold to platinum. They will be presented through the
virtual cards. Upgrade your cards with special abilities collected from the
other cards. Add sparkling features to your car parts and provide your own team
with bonus points by purchasing all of them from the same brand. While on the
move, earn coins to buy the basic card packs. If you aren't satisfied with
those, get some Big Bucks to buy the advanced ones for which you need to spend
quite a few bucks from your wallet.
The tracks which you see here are taken
from the Daytona International Speedway. So there’s not much scope to see
several patches of landscape and this becomes taxing at times. Experience everything
in your way that happens to the real car racers without taking the real risks
of breaking your bones. Watch your drivers positioning the car, struggling with
the parts, bumping over the undulations, drafting, spinning around and finally
breaking down at pits. Now comes the expertise of your crew who can bring back
your car to its running condition and boost it up enough to reach the winning
point before others.
The one who wants to win the race needs to
have the Big Impact Cards as that will is one of the keys to success that this
game has been using as one of its strategies. Monitor your driver’s energy
level by rubbing your fingers to and fro, rather than going for the drafting
option. There is a life option called Quick Race that keeps you up against the
reckless competitors, and share your experience with your Facebook friends by
inviting them through Friends Mode. Build up your Prize pool with the help of
the Trophy Mode in a single racing season.
