Independent development studio Slick Entertainment, best known for its work on the award-winning N+ for Xbox LIVE® Arcade, announced that it would put the pedal to the metal at this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with its newest gaming creation, Scrap Metal™.

Drift around corners with guns blazing and take out legendary competitors in the fast-paced, top-down racer, Scrap Metal™! Fight your way through explosive, action-packed missions and defeat cunning bosses to add their vehicles to your garage. Customize newly-acquired cars and return to the track to blast through more enemies. Then, jump online with Xbox LIVE® to race against friends and crush their cars with the wheels of a massive monster truck in pulse-pounding online multiplayer matches.

Test your mettle in 60 single-player missions to prove that you’re the best racer around, culminating in the ultimate boss showdown! Or challenge your friends and family. Kick it into high gear with innovative multiplayer modes such as Demolition Derby, King of the Hill, Gasoline and Tank War for local split-screen or online excitement through Xbox LIVE.

Destroy the competition and unleash a phenomenal arsenal! Fire away at the opposition with a slew of outrageous weaponry, including flamethrowers, dual chain saws, rocket launchers, “The Pulverizer” grinding food processor and much more! Then you can convert enemy scrap metal into a winning garage. Collect and customize more than 20 vehicles, including a muscle car, an airboat, a bulldozer and a monster truck for maximum damage on the track!

Bonus feature! Switch to the anaglyph 3-D mode and let Scrap Metal take you even deeper into the carnage. All you need is a pair of the classic red and cyan glasses (sold separately) and you’re good to go on a 3-D rampage!

Back in 2009 at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Wa. XBLArcade.com had a chance to give Scrap Metal a hands-on test drive and it’s our honest opinion that this is a must have game for all racing enthusiasts and old school fans of the classic Super Off Road arcade game. Though Scrap Metal is expected to launch sometime in the Spring of 2010, we have no word yet on the ESRB rating or price for the full version title.
