 Are there downloadable ghost racers you can go up against to compare your racing style and times? Will there be any integration between XBLA leaderboards and Twitter or Facebook? Any way to share your top times to show off?

There are over 40 leaderboardsWe didn't add ghosts but you'll have a race setting to race against the clock and post best times weekly, monthly or historicallyOne of our achievements is linked to an entry in a leaderboard.

We didn't link the game to Twitter but there's a Facebook fan page available already (join the group "ToW" right now or I smack you).

Co-op play isn't something that's in any racers in recent memoryHow does it work in ToW?

We're big fan of co-op and we thought, hey, why not in ToW?

When you choose to play co-op, you go from 2 to 4 teams and from 2 to 4 team membersEach team has a unique preset color.

There are two co-op modes:
Co-op First: the first member of the team crossing the finish line makes his team win.
Co-op points: all team members have to cross the finish line and score best in order to win.

The fun thing is that you can really have a strategy of slowing down the other team using pick ups or pushing them off course.

Is there anything else you'd like to say about the game?

We put a lot of time and effort in order to get a game that would be welcome by the publicWe don't forget that on XBLA, you can try before spending your hard earned MS points!

It's actually all we're asking for! Please try the game, give it a chance, we won't disappoint you.

On top of things: there's a story in the gameYep, a story in a racing game, but it's not mandatoryYou will meet the talented Ricky and the -ooooo- so sexy Carla.

One more thing, remember video games are only good if you take time to compare them with other great stuff in lifeMake sure you exercise, socialize, read, argue, hike, vote, bike, discover, get burnt, roll down a hill in high grass and think for yourselfDo things in your name, you're worth it! That's how it should be.
