Phantom Spark is a high-speed racing game

For those that like time-trial racers, Phantom Spark has enough content to push your driving skills to the limit. Your vehicle of choice owes a lot to the Wipeout series of games, in that you are flying a hovering space vehicle around futuristic alien tracks.

The trick here is that there's no map for you to follow and there are many pitfalls where you can crash and burn, resulting in you being sent back to the start of the course. It's simply a case of remembering where these sections are, so that you can eventually make a clean circuit in one piece. You'll be racing against that level's boss and your own ghost from your previous quickest run.

Unlock challenges and cosmetics for your ship

Once a track is completed you can move onto the next one, or try and beat the current boss and/or your previous quickest time. As you progress you'll unlock challenges and cosmetics for your ship.

And, once you get bored of playing solo, you can go online and try to beat the best of the online leaderboards.

For race fans this offers something a little different. It's challenging and a whole lot of fun.
