Action Wheelracer is the second of the WheelRacer series which utilises a unique single wheel vehicle where the driver sits inside the 8 meter high wheel.
Most racing games limit you to specific tracks because the vehicles are not able to handle rough terrains. Not so with WheelRacer, this game lets you ramp over hills, down valleys, do what ever it takes to get to the end first.
Random game obstacles - concrete blocks and jump forward/back flags. These are placed along the race track and are never in the same location from race to race which means the track can't become predictable, you never know what to expect.
Key features in the game include:
-
Advanced multi player technology via the Torque Game Engine as used in Tribes 2
-
3 vehicle cameras. One interior and 2 exterior intelligent cameras.
-
Up to 64 players on a server. (hardware dependant, remainder will be observers )

Observers and Action Cameras
There are various reasons why you may become an observer in the game. The main reasons include:
-
Excessive vehicle damage
-
Out of fuel
-
Vehicle count limit reached
Observers are assigned to "action cameras" which basically go where the action is. Typically you will follow the leader and cut to any accidents as they happen. The action camera is in orbit mode allowing you to control your view of the current action.
