Microsoft has announced Joy Ride Turbo from BigPark an arcade racer which is “just weeks away” from launch. It is controller-based, instead of Kinect like the last outing, Kinect Joy Ride.

To be released on XBLA, it contains an all new Stunt Park, with 42 vehicles, new tracks, favorite tracks from the first game, 4-player split-screen, 8-player online, and three modes of play: Battle Race, Pro Race and Time Trial.

Game Features:

• Race your friends in local 4-player split-screen or compete with up to 8 on Xbox LIVE.
• Knock out your competitors and take the race lead with rockets, mines, dynamite drops and more.
• Explore the new Stunt Park to gather all of the collectibles and showoff your skills.
• Find and collect car parts to unlock vehicles, each with unique speed and handling characteristics, giving you an edge in your next race.
• Achieve racing leaderboard fame in 3 modes of play: Battle Race, Pro Race & Time Trial.

No price or date just yet.

I will just buy this instead of Kinect Joyride since it will likely be $20 or less and its a new game instead of a year old game I have already played.

Oh... there is also splitscreen play! :) Didnt see that right away.

Nice. Loved Joyride.

Sarcasm?

No, I think he is actually being serious.

Might get this if it's fun considering that it's controller based.

ok maybe this wont be a review dud like the last one.

controller based, more features, and a decent price. Hopefully the gameplay is improved

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Controller based.

There goes all the laughing fun from the original. Now its just a Mario Kart clone.

Joyride was a lot of fun with friends, and I really enjoyed it.

Really disappointed that its controller based. A few tweaks to Kinect last time out would have made it even more fun.

Come on M$.

I never understood the logic of announcing a game a few weeks before it releases.
