About Extreme Gear Shift Racing

Extreme Gear Shift Racing puts you behind the wheel of a sports car where nailing your gear changes makes all the difference. You accelerate down twisty tracks, watching a shift indicator climb through the gears—hit the button while it's in the green zone and you'll surge ahead, mess it up and you'll bog down. Between shifts you drift through marked corners to fill a boost meter, then punch the nitrous on the straights. The game offers eleven levels that get progressively trickier, plus a two-player split-screen mode if you want to race a friend on the same keyboard. You can choose from several cars and unlock more as you win.

It's all about rhythm and reflexes. Miss a shift or drift too early and your opponent pulls away; string together clean changes and tight corners and you'll cross the line first. Poki Games hosts the full version with both desktop and touch controls, so you can play however you like. Fans of arcade racers with a manual-transmission twist will get a kick out of chasing that perfect run.
