What it is
Motorhead is a racing game developed by DICE and released in 1998. It puts players behind the wheel of one of 10 streamlined racers across eight obstacle-filled courses set in urban, desert and seaside terrain. Modes include Time Attack, Single Race, League and Head-to-Head competition. A frame-rate choice changes the size of the field: 60 frames per second means a three-car race, while 30 frames per second allows seven cars. The game is listed for Microsoft Windows, with Steam features including single-player, partial controller support and Family Sharing. Its Steam release date is Sep 16, 2015. Players looking for a futuristic racing game can choose between shorter fields with a higher frame rate or larger fields at a lower one, and race through several types of terrain.
