There was a multiplayer game mode in a game called “Chase: Hollywood Stunt Driver” that was on the original Xbox that I think would be a really fun game mode. I forgot what the name of the game mode was, but it was pretty much like Tag.
Players were placed in an arena with a bunch of obstacle course style ramps and loops for cars to explore and use to get away from the person that was “IT.” When the player that was IT tagged someone else, the person’s car that was tagged, explodes. That gave time for the previous person to get away before the new person that was IT was revived and started their chase.
That was pretty much the gist of the game mode. I feel like it would be a great foundation to build upon. It was especially thrilling on both ends when tagging or getting away from being tagged.
It was a simple mode, but we made it fun by making up our own games within that game mode. One example was if we weren’t IT, we would line up somewhere for a race and wait for someone else to come by. Sometimes the race would get stopped short due to the person that was IT, crashing the party and everyone would scatter like it was a cop raid. It was great.
I can’t recall seeing anything like it since then. Would be fun!
