Story
War and Peace--the Cyber Speedway
Imagine. Sometime in the future. A universe free from wars. Civilizations developed to the extent that planets no longer need to attack and destroy each other.
Despite the intergalactic pacts and treaties that protect the universal peace, a few backward outposts continue their primitive practices.
Now two of these offenders are locked together in battle. The savage inhabitants of Kaladasia have been at war with the armed forces of another barbaric planet for so long that no one is sure why they are fighting anymore. No solution has been forthcoming.
Kaladasia's enemy: Earth. No more than a speck of mud spinning around a second-rate star in a forgotten corner of the galaxy. But, it is one of the last barriers to universal peace.
At last, there may be a solution. The leaders from uncountable planets in all the galaxies of the universe gathered to find a way to reform it's delinquent members. Cyber Speedway, they call it.
In place of the battlefield there is the cyber-race course. Instead of planes and tanks, hi-tech sleds.Armies of millions no longer need to perish. All disputes can be decided by the outcome of the race. The conflict with Kaladasia and the future of universal peace both depend on the hero that drives the winning sled. Is that hero you?
Modes
Story Mode: In Story Mode, you represent Earth in a series of races to determine the outcome of it's conflicts with the Kaladasians and other war-mongering planets.
Free Run Mode: Free Run Mode allows you to practice on courses you encounter in the Story Mode. You can race the clock in the Time Trial, try your skill against a computer opponent in the 1P VS COM Mode, or go head-to-head against a friend in the 1P VS 2P Mode.
Sleds
There are five sleds available.
Terra: This Earth-made sled features high speed and stable steering. Its all-around performance is completed by a robust body.
Kaladasia: Produced by Earth's archenemy in the current war--this sled has the highest speed of all models available. While this gives it the edge on the straightaways, cornering is tricky.
Alcmaeon: The Alcmaeons, bound in military alliance to Earth, display their ingenuity in this sled, which is notable for it's stable cornering.
Drum: The Drums produced this sled using parts imported from their allies, the Kaladasians. It boasts high acceleration and deceleration response but lacks flat-out speed.
Cerebun: Cerebun is a neutral party in the current disputes. This sled represents the culmination of Cerebun technological expertise, with solid overall performance, notably stable cornering and powerful acceleration.
