Developed by Different Cloth and published by Choice Provisions, Drive Drive Drive changes up racing by having you switch between multiple tracks at once. There's 100 courses with different goals like scoring the highest points, getting the lowest combined timed, or collecting the most crystals. But the main idea is the same. Get ahead and stay ahead. While switching cameras between 2 or more instances of the same track. Completing the target will unlock more worlds, 10 in total, along with more cars and decals.
The cars feel like boats, and are a bit cumbersome to handle in their own right, even before exploring the track changing mechanics. Everything felt better and more natural after I switched to the nose camera. This should have been the default. You can switch cars with the up and down arrows or prompting an overhead map with the x button. When you switch drivers an AI takes over for your doppelgangers. Sometimes they perform well sometimes they don't. Drive Drive Drive should be taken in stride. It can be frustrating at times, it's really the benchmarks you're competing against more than your opponents. So make sure to smash them off track. This also raises your score tremendously on levels that require it. There's also a track creating tool which would probably works better on PC, but it's nice. Online is available but the community is very small. The track surface seems to behave unusually a little too often, especially the jumps. Overall, Drive Drive Drive offers a very unique twist to racing, but can't help bringing a few bugs along with it. I can't stress enough how much more I enjoyed the game in the nose cam, so make sure you try it, before writing it off. A VR mode could be really trippy. I'll keep you posted if anything develops.
