Take your racing skills global in Cruis'n World, the sequel to Midway’s popular Cruis'n USA. This arcade game lets you compete against nine rival drivers across fourteen tracks spanning twelve different countries, from the pyramids of Egypt to the streets of London. The gameplay retains the classic point-to-point race format but introduces new stunt maneuvers like wheelies and jumps, along with shortcuts designed to shave precious seconds off your lap times. Players control their vehicle using a paddle controller, navigating diverse environments and attempting to outpace the competition. Beyond simply racing, mastering techniques like double-tapping the gas for wheelies or performing side flips offers an extra layer of challenge and excitement as you strive for faster completion times. Hidden cars, tracks, and color options are available through specific button combinations at the car selection screen, encouraging exploration and rewarding dedicated players. Featuring a vibrant soundtrack and detailed graphics powered by Midway’s V Unit hardware, Cruis'n World delivers an immersive arcade racing experience that expands upon the foundation of its predecessor while adding fresh elements to keep the competition thrilling.
