Lexicon Entertainment today announced Voltage for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Voltage is a unique twist on the futuristic racing game genre. Offering real-time strategy elements, Voltage takes place on a number of wide-spread planets where players will compete to become the Solar System’s Best Racer.
Players will choose from a selection of vehicles powered up by anti-gravity engines that run on electricity, nuclear and tachyon fuel. The vehicles will be able to jump to special sections of the track in order to advance postitions. Teleports, Electromagnetic Platforms, Nuclear and Tachyon fuel power-ups will all be situated along the track. Shortcuts will turn up along turns, hills and traps along the ride.
Key features include:
• Futuristic 3D racing: action set on the planets of the Solar system: Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and the biggest satellites – the Moon and Europa. The picturesque environment is rendered to closely resemble the original conditions of these planets. Futuristic constructions, light sails, factories, storehouses and tunnels enrich the environments.
• Anti-gravity engines: the vehicles are equipped with 3 engine modifications – Electrical, Nuclear and Tachyon. They enable the player to boost the vehicle speed depending on the situation and the availability of a certain fuel type.
• Fuel power-ups: a number of fuel power-ups can be found at every track for use with different engine types. Tachyon fuel is based on a hypothetical subatomic particle that enables traveling faster than the speed of light. Tachyon fuel is used to accelerate the vehicle and push away competitors.
• Bonuses: the Teleport, Flash EMB, Tachyon Scout, Soft Shield and other bonuses are available to both the player and his/her opponents.
• Track features: a total of 15 non-linear tracks on 7 planets add more excitement to the game. There are upper sections of the tracks reachable only at full speed with the help of the Jump and Fly feature and challenging vertical sections that will require the best of racing experience.
• Supporting three modes of play – Championship, Quick Race and Multi-player.
We’ll have much more on Voltage as it becomes available.
