Pacer is a futuristic racing game where the contestants in the race control anti-gravity racers in a science fiction setting. The game can be played in both single and multiplayer modes, and it features a combat element that encourages players to be aggressive to each other.

Many parallels can be drawn between this game and other racing games, such as Extreme 4x4 Racing, though perhaps a more apt comparison is that of Demolition Derby: Crash Racing due to the combative element in the game. Players can also customize the weaponry on their vehicles.

High-octane futuristic racing

Pacer puts the player in control of a futuristic anti-gravity racing machine that essentially looks like a speed boat that floats on air. For fans of the classic arcade game, Wipeout, the style visuals will look quite familiar. The player can customize their racer with different weaponry to make it more effective in the combat side of things.

Single and multiplayer modes

The game provides the player with the option of racing in both single and multiplayer modes, though there isn’t much of a campaign to speak of in single-player, other than standard race progression. There are several speed classes to choose from, ranging from 400 km/h to over 1,000 km/h, as well as a range of race modes, including elimination and endurance.

A fast and aggressive racing game

Pacer is not for the faint-hearted. The racing itself is fast-paced — even by the standards of racing games — and the combat element makes adds a level of aggression to the gameplay that may not be to everyone’s taste. The futuristic setting of the game is impressively rendered in high levels of detail, and the game features a large playlist of over 80 songs to accompany the gameplay.
