Days of Thunder Game Announced

Racing fans, start your engines. Piranha Games and Paramount Digital Entertainment have announced a Days of Thunder game, based on the 1990 film starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, to launch this summer on PC, Mac, Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation Network.

Four single player modes have been revealed, Quick Race, Time Trial, Career Mode, and Derby Mode, along with 12 player online races, a pit-stop mini-game, and a variety of vehicle tuning opportunities, both cosmetic and functional. As far as familiar faces from the film returning, we can only confirm that Tom Cruise will NOT be appearing in the game, but it seems that at least some of the characters will make a digital appearance.

Will this downloadable game offer the depth and re-playability of current-gen driving games? And will it be more simulation racing or arcade style? As more details are released, we will bring them to you.
