It’s funny, in the 2020s, harking back to the 1990s seems to be all the rage. In racing games, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to retro-infused driving games, and now there’s another.
Four-Player Grand Prix (4PGP) is aimed squarely at the Virtua Racing nostalgia feels. And not just because it reminds me of that Sega title. Its publisher and developer, 3goo, loves to reference it.
Afterall, Tomoyuki Kawamura, who worked on that 1992 game’s soundtrack, has created the tunes here too.
Releasing on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 (with a native version for the latest hybrid console), 4PGP featured a heady rose-tinted mix of (19) fictional Formula 1-style cars and (14) tracks, brightly coloured visuals and four-player split-screen multiplayer.
Single-player modes, with four difficulty levels, consist of championship, single race and time attack.
