Drift City News

Ever heard of Drift City? Well, it's never too late! While some may consider this game's handling and graphics to be at least strange, Drift City, also known as Skid Rush in Korea, managed to be a unique game, by combining the features of a RPG game with an arcade racing game. There's a story, your driver will gain levels, and while doing this, faster cars will become available. Anyway, today it's not about the game as a whole, because the news is that Drift City just got a new car...

...but before talking about the URe3, pictured above, I should mention a few things that will surely be interesting to those that are not playing it yet. First, you should know that Drift City runs well on older computers, a processor clocked around 1.5GHz, 512 MB of memory, and a GeForce FX 5200 or a Radeon 9200 card, and even most onboard graphics chips are supported. Unfortunately for those using Linux or Macs, there's only a Windows version of the game, but the good part is that you can download it and play it for free without having to worry about spending any real money, although some premium items can be only purchased with real cash.

According to the official press release, "Armed with the fastest speed and acceleration stats in its class, the URe3's well-balanced speed and boost stats make it the best vehicle in the game's straight-away tracks. The car is available for purchase solely through the in-game dealership, and can be bought using Mito - Drift City's currency."

The problem is that beginners won't get their hands on this beauty, because only level 41+ drivers can get the URe3, and not even all of them, but only those having the 150,000 Mito required...
