Overview
Joy Ride Turbo is a racing game developed by BigPark and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox Live Arcade platform.
Vehicles
Joy Ride Turbo features 15 different vehicles that are grouped into 3 classes: Sport,Muscle, and Truck. Sport Vehicles tend to have a higher top speed and better handling, but their boost meter doesn't fill up as quickly and their strength. Muscle vehicles have higher acceleration than other vehicles, but don't control as easy as the Sport or Truck classes. Truck Vehicles have the highest strength and their boost meter is filled up faster than the other classes. You only start with 3 vehicles and must unlock the others to buy by collecting their parts in tracks and in the stunt parks.
