Play Overview
Cruis’n Blast (2021) is a brash over-the-top racing game based on a series of big arcade machines. Competing with games like Ridge Racer, OutRun and Daytona USA, it offers whacky racing with big and bombastic visuals and characters.
On Switch Cruis’n Blast offers 30 over-the-top tracks and 23 custom vehicles from licensed supercars to monster trucks and unicorns. As you can tell this is on the far end of fantasy arcade racing. The game offers five real-world locations (London, Madagascar, Rio de Janeiro, Death Valley, Singapore and California) but these continue the fantasy theme with buildings collapsing, planes crashing and Ferris wheels rolling across the road.
Different versions of the game are available:
