Product Description:

Redline is a racing game for Mac OS X that demonstrates just how much fun tossing polygons around at 200+ mph can be. With its advanced 3D rendering engine and a physics engine that ensures each car has a distinct feel, Redline also shows that running someone off of the road isn't just cathartic, it's downright fun.

Gun the throttle, light up the tires, and hurtle down the track in any of the three racing modes Redline offers: the realistic Simulation mode, an aggressive Arcade mode, or kick it into high gear in the insanely intense Turbo Arcade mode. No matter what your pleasure, take your pick from numerous cars, tracks, and jump into a racing game that delivers adrenaline via digital injection.

The real fun, though, is meeting nice people on the Internet and running them off of the road. Redline supports up to 12 people in a network race, either on a local network, or over the Internet. Meet up in the Lobby, pick a course, pick your cars, and recklessly slam your newfound "friends" into the guard rail in your quest for the coveted checkered flag.

Pure pleasure is in the control. Redline models each wheel of your car independently, as well as the axle width and weight of each car, allowing for an unprecedented feel of the road. Accelerate your way into a corner, tap the brakes, cut the wheel at just the right time, then punch the throttle and power-slide your way to the finish line. Boooooyah!

Redline features a dozen racing challenges such as acceleration, slalom, graduating you to real-world tracks with a variety of racing conditions. With each progressive challenge, your performance earns you new challenges, and new cars to drive. Your performance is also ranked among other Redline players from around the world via an Internet leader board.

    Redline ReviewMostly Just Crashes - Version: 1.0.4, 5/7/2008 07:14PM PST

    I just downloaded this game for the first time, and got it directly from the Ambrosia website. Thus I took is as a bad sign when it said I've had the game for 540 days when I launched it- at least it new that it was the first time I'd ran it. Has this game even been out for 540 days?

    The first time, I could navigate the menus and such OK, but the first time I got into a game, the steering wouldn't work. I was using the correct buttons, and I could accelerate, brake, and shift, the steering just wouldn't do anything. I left and messed around with it and couldn't get it to work. I tried quitting and restarting, and the program crashed on launch. I tried restarting again, and it crashed again and this time brought down the whole system so I had to go to the hard power button.

    So I deleted it. It was unusable.

    Redline ReviewSUPERB !!! - Version: 1.0.4, 9/8/2007 02:32PM PST

    THE GAME IS FANTASTIC!!! This is real value for money. Just like the screen shots, it is a wonder of skill and design brilliance. I do not think the makers did themselves any favours by hiding the fact that the fancy cars to drive are unlocked by passing the short challenges. This might put some people off, which would be a massive pity. Perhaps some weather settings are also unlocked in this way. To go into the weather settings etc just push the right arrow key (I'm ashamed to say it took me a while to realise everything was accessed in this way).

    My download seemed not as good as when I downloaded it again from softonic on the web. I was researching a new free game, when I found a great long list of games to download. You have to wait a few minutes for the effects to load after you choose them, but it is all well worth it and great fun. FULL STARS!!!!!
