Like Tron? Like Racing? Prepare for Nitronic Rush

Our Second Racing game news of the day - this was pushed through my e-mail box this morning.

This Tron-like Racing game is called Nitronic Rush, it's half stunt game half time attack racer, as far as I've seen it's single player only, but has ghosts to download and leaderboards, here is what developers Team Nitronic say about their game

Nitronic Rush is an experimental survival driving game developed by students at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Use the car’s many abilities (including boost, wings, and jump) to avoid obstacles that the city throws at you. Prove your abilities and impress the announcer by performing tricks. In many ways the game is a tribute to racing games of the 1990′s, but with fresh graphics and gameplay.
The entire game (including the graphics, physics, and architecture) was developed from the ground up using C++ for the PC (Windows XP, Vista, and 7) platform. It was not created as a mod or using any pre-made engines such as Unity or Unreal.

Oh did we not say it's completely free? Read on for the download link, images and hardcore mode in action

And here is the important download link, that is a torrent of the actual .exe file from their site mainly to stop their site from falling over due to people downloading - we would prefer you to use this option to help their site stay up, if not head to http://nitronic-rush.com/ instead.
