Gameplay

TNT ''Racers'' is a top-down arcade-style racer. The game features 16 vehicles with various strengths and weaknesses. In races, the player can use powerups that are scattered around the 18 tracks to destroy opponents and hazards in their path. Players that have their vehicle destroyed or fall off the screen will resurrect as a ghost that can tamper with the remaining racers. The game also has 45 challenges for the player to complete. The game's soundtrack ranges from various jazz themes to cartoon chase scene-style music.

Development and marketing

The game also released two downloadable content packages, called TNT Racers Drift Challenge and TNT Racers Formula TNT. Drift Challenge features two new cars and four new tracks, as well as the "Drift Challenge". The same applies to Formula TNT, which also features two new cars and four tracks.

Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Official Xbox Magazine questioned the need of selecting a control scheme before every race, the camera, and the lack of balance between the challenges. NGamer gave the Wii version an unfavorable review, over a year before it was released in Europe and elsewhere.
