'Wide Open' was born out of a love for old-school, top-down offroad racing games. Offroad racing has come a long way since the days of the 8 bit and 16 bit systems and this game intends to reflect those evolutions. With a fully deformable terrain, you can be sure that no lap will be like the last. You can enjoy timing big jumps and drifting corners. There are many terrain types like asphalt, dirt, sand, mud, and more! Numerous tracks are available and more will be on their way.

Features

Each track is unique in that they all have different soil types and can range from large, fast tracks to tight stadium tracks.
