I thought, when I requested Turbo Boost Racing on Press Engine, that it’d be a bad review. Fortunately, this is a decent racer. Not the upper echelon, but good, solid fun. The name comes from the nitrous oxide meter, which gives you a major boost as long as it lasts. The initial boost meter is generous, but it can be upgrades through the garage. And it will be key to winning against the rubber banding AI. A good strategy is to save it then boost past to competition at the end of the race.
The main mode in Turbo Boost Racing is the tournament, a series of races, time trials and elimination rounds. The races take place on several courses. Most are dusty industrial zones, but not all. There are three upgradable boost slots, that you can fill with things like doubling your money won, or faster speed for first ten seconds. The only downside is you cannot access the garage and upgrade your car, which helps immensely. In addition to the tournament, There is also single race, time trial, and hot seat local multiplayer. There are also daily missions for various rewards. A car dealer will also you other cars to drive, but the base one is decent enough.
Turbo Boost Racing is a fine racer. I found it fun. The UI could use some work, as it reminds me of scam games, which isn’t a good thing. But fortunately the game is solid. I give it a Recommended with a eight back-end score. Check it out if you’re looking for a decent arcade racer.
Overall: Turbo Boost Racing is simply a solid, fun racer that people will enjoy.
