Hamburg, February 9th 2011 – dtp entertainment and keen games today announce the UK release of TNT Racers, the great value fun and frantic arcade racing game. The title is available for download now on the Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox360.

Costing just £7.99/ 800 Microsoft Points in the UK, TNT Racers features 18 action-packed racetracks for up to 4 players. Built for ‘pick up and play’ fun for all the family, new players and seasoned gamers can experience the thrill of the chase and high-octane game play together.

Key to the heart-stopping action in TNT Racers is the fun of the multiplayer experience. As well as playing solo, up to 4 players can compete locally together or do battle against friends, family and other players online in a non-stop social competition.

A unique feature in the game is ‘Shadow Racing’. When players are thrown off the track, they immediately rejoin the action as a shadow racer, taking revenge on remaining players and ensuring everyone is always in the thick of the action.

Dedicated players who work their way up the leader boards are rewarded with free game content including new cars, new tracks and achievements.

There is also plenty to keep the single player occupied with three different single player modes. As well as 45 Challenges across three different speed classes, there are time trials and custom races where racers decide the victory criteria and place the pickups on the track.

TNT Racers will also be available via the PlayStation Network for PlayStation3 (£7.99) and PSP (£6.29) February 16 ^th 2011 and the release date for the WiiWare for Nintendo Wii (£7.99) is set to follow shortly afterwards.
