The Sprint series started in the 70s in Arcades and is one of the latest to get a resurrection tied to Atari in the form of NeoSprint. I'm intrigued by the business prospect of these games being brought into the 2020s along with other games like Food Fight and the upcoming Yars Rising. Atari is continuing into the future with existing properties getting 2020s polish and upgrades.

This game is overhead 3rd person racing. Not really sure when the last time I saw one in this style was besides the New Donk City Racing Games in Super Mario Odyssey. It does take some slight time to get used to the 3rd person in a racing game. The controls are clean and smooth which made it pretty easy to adapt to.

The game features racing, obstacle courses, and custom course builds. There is a career mode that focuses on progressively difficult courses and one on one rivalries in each Grand Prix as you unlock more cars, colors, course pieces, and accessories.

There is a lot to unlock via the various play modes in the game. I barely scratched the surface in my playtime of what can be unlocked. I was really enjoying this, particularly in the short bursts that you can play this in. The time commitment is not heavy.

Retail is around $25 US. Worth checking out for racing and time trial aficionados.
