Description:
Cruis’n Blast is a high-octane arcade-style racing game that revives the classic Cruis’n franchise from the ’90s. Designed for pure fun rather than realism, it delivers fast-paced, over-the-top racing with wild tracks, flashy visuals, and outrageous stunts.
Players speed through a globe-trotting tour of 29 tracks set in extravagant locations — from the streets of London and the deserts of Death Valley to tropical islands and even dinosaur-filled jungles. Expect loop-de-loops, collapsing bridges, police chases, avalanches, and explosions — every race is a chaotic spectacle.
You can race with more than 20 vehicles, ranging from sports cars and muscle cars to a unicorn, helicopter, and even a fire truck — all of which can be customized and upgraded.
The Nintendo Switch version features:
-
4-player split-screen local multiplayer
-
Unlockable cars and tracks
-
Improved visuals and framerate over the arcade edition
-
No online play, keeping the focus on couch co-op and solo fun
Tone & Style:
Vibrant, fast, and unapologetically arcade — think neon lights, roaring engines, and wild physics. It’s not about realism or rules; it’s about the joy of chaos at 200 miles per hour.
