Mad Dash Racing

Cartoons get down with a funky beat as they bash, smash, and glide through huge tracks in Mad Dash Racing.

Don?t let these cute characters deter you. Whatever else the Xbox brings to gaming, with Mad Dash Racing, it will usher in the first cartoon racer that strives to be hip. The game?s cutting-edge soundtrack will include Moby, Fatboy Slim, Propellerheads, and others. And who better to do the voice work for an edgy cartoon game than Billy West, voice of Ren and Stimpy.

The music and voices weren?t yet integrated into the preview version, but it was already clear that Mad Dash will be a raucous run. Gameplay was fast as your character ran, jumped, and stomped through the huge, varied, beautiful tracks. Characters will specialize in bashing, dashing, or gliding, and for each skill, there will be three special shortcuts per track, plus a few anyone can use with skill. To vary the action, you had to perform special moves to get past certain obstacles, like swirling the analog stick to swim and alternately pushing up and down on the dual analogs to climb. Plus, you could escape your enemies? power-up attacks by pressing random button combinations. Mad Dash could be a surprise hit when the Xbox launches
