Crash Time II: High-Octane Racing and Police Action
Crash Time II is a 2008 racing game developed by Synetic and published by Atari for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows. The game is a sequel to the 2007 game Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit and features similar gameplay, with players taking control of either a police car or a racer and engaging in high-speed chases and races on the Autobahn and other German highways.
Gameplay
Crash Time II offers two main game modes: Career and Quick Race. In Career mode, players take on the role of a police officer or a racer and progress through a series of missions and races. Missions involve tasks such as chasing down and arresting criminals, escorting politicians, and transporting precious goods. Races are more straightforward, with players simply competing to finish first.
In Quick Race mode, players can choose from a variety of tracks and vehicles and race against AI opponents or other players online. Crash Time II features a wide range of vehicles to choose from, including police cars, sports cars, and muscle cars. Each vehicle has its own unique handling and performance characteristics, so players will need to choose the right vehicle for the job.

- Fully destructible cars: Cars in Crash Time II are fully destructible, meaning that they can be damaged and destroyed in a variety of ways. This adds a new level of realism to the game and makes for some spectacular crashes.
- Arcade gameplay: Crash Time II is an arcade-style racing game, with simple controls and over-the-top action. This makes the game easy to pick up and play, but still challenging to master.
- Outstanding graphics: Crash Time II features stunning graphics that bring the Autobahn and its surroundings to life. The game’s use of slow-motion effects during crashes is particularly impressive.
- Online multiplayer: Crash Time II features online multiplayer for up to 8 players. Players can race against each other or team up to take down criminals in co-op missions.
