The exhilarating Atari racing classic “Sprint” series returns with NeoSprint. NeoSprint zooms back to life as a single screen arcade racer for up to 8 players, paired with a robust track builder and intuitive sharing tools, ensuring a racing experience that satisfies speed demons and architects alike. Campaign mode, Grand Prix, Obstacle Courses and Time Trials provide tons of pulse-pounding race content, and multiplayer modes make for chaotic fun. Can you conquer the speedways and claim the fastest times?
Key Features:
- Isometric Arcade Action: Precise controls with an arcade feel makes NeoSprint gameplay easy to pick up but hard to master. Learn the intricacies of drifting and drafting to pull ahead across a dazzling array of pre-made and player-created racetracks.
- Robust Track-Building and Sharing: Design twisting, turning tracks with a deep, customizable track builder. Build ramps, jumps, banks and more, and add a variety of scenery and decorations to make your track unique. Four different biomes – forest, desert, winter, and city – bring a completely different look. Easy tools to share and rank your tracks – and try others tracks – ensuring endless hours of new, exhilarating content.
- A Lineup built for Speed: Featuring 9 different car types, from muscle to sports car, all with their own speed, acceleration and handling. Each car is customizable with different colors and Atari-themed decals. Customize your lineup and get racing!
- Campaign Mode: For those playing solo, challenge 8 different rival racers in NeoSprint’s campaign mode. Travel through multiple Cups with increasingly difficult tracks. As you progress, unlock new decorations and car liveries.

NeoSprint developed by Headless Chicken Games and Published by Atari is definitely definitely a keeper, the game capture what was good about the Atari Sprint Games (Champioship Sprint was the most predominant flavor growing up), and for me, this game captured a lot of the things that made that game fun, and seem to add to the story a bit more, several different modes of play add quite a bit a replability into the game, and the charm of the overall polish on this game is enough to keep me coming back for more.

Honestly a very enjoyable game, but if there is ever a NeoSprint 2 (or Super NeoSprint!) there could definitely be some improvements.
For a start, the music and sound design leaves something to be desired, the same 3/4 tracks repeated over and over again, while good tracks, gets samey quickly and doesn't give each track or cup any sense of personality. And the victory song just feels a bit out place.
Secondly, the game feels very easy and the campaign feels short. While there is some challenge in unlocking the final cup, the AI even on Hard difficulty just feels completely dumb at times. the 1-on-1 boss races provide a good variety, there is little personality to the characters who subsequently are instantly forgettable.
That being said, there's lots of added challenge in variety in the user-created courses and the obstacle course mode, that adds a lot of replay value, and it is helped by the fact the controls are tight and each car handles differently, so picking the right car for the course helps.
The graphics are fantastic and the game runs brilliantly, and creating courses is a lot of fun.
What would be nice, would be an online multiplayer in addition to local - playing online on user-generated courses would add a lot of replayability and challenge and would bring the game from good to great.
Another wish would be to actually have an option for the control scheme from Sprint8 from Atari 50 when using a controller where the stick controls the direction of the car! (Although I'm probably the only one who thinks that!)
Overall a very good game that is great for just sinking a couple of hours into of an evening.

As of Build 1.38: This game starts off strong, but things take a turn when you attempt to beat the time trials and obstacle courses. The controls lack the precision needed for achieving gold medals in these challenges, which makes it frustrating. This is disappointing because a few of the achievements and unlockables, including car skins and course-building items, are tied to performing well in the timed portions. Overall, while the game has potential, the control issues and the fact the the hold it back.
Edit: Beating the ghost is not the same as beating the timed levels themselves—while you might succeed in outracing the ghost, you still need to meet the strict time requirements of the level for a gold medal.

Game is fun and challenging. Have a ton of items to unlock. Gameplay is simple and the physics can help you or put you on the last position (you will need abilities and a little of luck). I really appreciate that controls are very customizable. You will enjoy the game.
