Overview

Gumball 3000 is a racing game based on the real-life 3000 mile rally of the same name that has been running annually since 1999. The full race is a single player game but other races have two player modes. This game has the following game modes; Spirit of Gumball: This game mode consists of two race types and a picture gallery; Single Race: In this race the player competes against two other cars in the same class on any unlocked course. The courses in the race are set in the UK, Spain, France, the Riviera, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Initially only the first UK stage, Airport Dash, and the first Spanish leg of the race are unlocked, further rally stages are unlocked as the player completes these and subsequent stages. Gumball 3000: This is the full race, the player starts in the UK on day one and must complete all stages in order commencing with the Airport Dash to Stanstead airport. From their the cars are loaded onto an Antonov aircraft and are flown to the next stage in Spain. The race continues across Europe to Baden-Baden in Germany before returning to the UK.
