The Story:

The Global Powerboat Racers League (GPRL) is the only water sport competition that matters in this big wet universe! GPRL races are known for sheer excitement and riveting action. Races take place across the solar system, on rivers, lakes, manmade canals, frozen seas and tropical paradises - wherever water gets intense. For the racers, the stakes are high, with lucrative cash prizes and even more lucrative corporate sponsorships awaiting the best.

H2Overdrive will feature:

• Several single player and multiplayer gameplay modes including Championship, Simple Race, Duel, Survival, Check Point, "Ghost," and "Cat and mouse"

• Ten huge, incredible tracks ranging from Icelandic splendors to an amusement park and even the human body

• Ten out-of-this-world characters, each rendered in real-time 3D at the controls of their vehicles

• Ten insane vehicles, each with custom equipment

• Tons of fanciful secret areas, weapons and hidden tracks

• Beautiful graphics, enhanced by environment mapping, dynamic lighting for boats and characters, procedural water, water spray, and water deformation effects, and scenery lens flare (sun light)

• Optimal competition: with AI that picks its ideal course on the fly, no two races will ever be the same.

The game is still early in development (as shown in the screenshot in the sidebar), but in my plight to engage new challenging racing games, H2Overdrive looks like a title which I'll be keeping a close eye on. We'll have additional updates as they become available.
