About this game
Cruis’n Blast puts a deliberately unusual collection of rides on arcade race courses. Choose a supercar, monster truck or unicorn, then compete for the finish while looking for shortcuts through the course. Its track selection includes the original arcade locations, from London and Singapore to Madagascar. Vehicle upgrades and secret rides give the garage a place alongside the races themselves. You can also compete with up to four players locally, either sharing one console or connecting separate consoles. The combination of recognizable locations, unconventional vehicles and alternative routes defines this Switch adaptation.
Collected in series
Cruis’n turns a drive through recognisable places into a loud, colourful arcade race. Traffic, exaggerated scenery and increasingly spectacular stunts keep the focus on overtaking rivals and enjoying whatever appears around the next bend.
