//CLASSIC//Grooverider: Slot Car Racing
Modern day racing meets old-school slot car driving in this fantastic, high-voltage PS2 game. The title was rammed with great features, with five environments, 360 degree loops, 20 different slot cars, traps, weapons and power-ups. It even allowed for two players to go head-to-head in various modes, and all for just £10. Another System 3 classic at a value price, which is now available on PSN.
Released: 2003 Formats: PS2
