Hands on with XBLA title Street Trace


Street Trace NYC just might be what XBLA multiplayer action lovers have been yearning for. The guys over at Game Stooge wrote up a quick and dirty review of their impressions after receiving some hands on time with the game at a recent New York City event held by developer Gaia Industries. And with the game's numerous game modes, fast and fearless gameplay, and overall hoverboard fun they feel the game will definitely be worth 800 Microsoft points when it releases (whenever that may be). So, if you're intrigued by hoverboard fighting mayhem, be sure to check out Game Stooge's full Street Trace preview after the jump.
