Crazy Car Championship

Crazy Car Championship is a cancelled PS2, Xbox, and PC game by Synaptic Soup. Developed by ex-Bullfrog guys, it was bound to be crazy.

Gameplay
This game was to be an arcade style game of fast action. You would be able to drive Steampunk style cars around interesting circuits. It would play like a Wipeout game, with 18 different weapons.

You would have been able to build your own hybrid vehicles. Let your imagination run wild as you build Victorina-era behemoths.

Full-client multiplayer was to be supported for online racing. Cross-platform multiplayer was in store.



Development
Development of this game began in January 2001. It was to be the first game built on their multi-format Cipher engine. When NVIDIA's GeForce3 GPU was release a month later it got to be quite promising.

In 2002 the team was considering changing the title of the game.

In June of 2004 Synaptic Soup acquired Octagon Entertainment to be its publisher.



Cancellation
Synaptic Soup closed down in May of 2003. Their official website attributes its closure to the economic climate. Crazy Car Championship was not announced as cancelled, so it was presumably canned then.
