Mayhem begins this March on Xbox 360 and PS3

Mayhem, an arcade racer we caught on radar recklessly announcing itself last October, is now officially set for March. The Xbox 360 and PS3 game will get you behind the wheel at a budget price of $40 and plans to get in-your-face with 3D gameplay. You won't even need a fancy TV for the popping visuals, the game is rockin' it old schoool, Rad Racer-style with glasses in the box.

The game will feature a "noir comic book aesthetic" (i.e. Sin City-style, MadWorld), four car-crunching game modes and 120 vehicles. It'll also have players accumulating "Mayhem Points" for their disorderly driving on the track, which can be used to unlock new levels.

Mayhem is being developed by Left Field Studios, the developer behind Excitebick 64 and SCORE International: Baja 1000 -- the latter of which we only remember because of that fun box art lawsuit.

So the game is a mix of MadWorld, Destruction Derby, Rad Racer and MotorStorm? Good God...

Sign me up! I had no idea this game existed until now.

I'm somewhat interested. Show me some gameplay and I'll tell you for sure.

How can it be 3D
without a fancy TV?

@Da Mr Magic.

Waitaminute. How is going to be in 3D (assuming red/blue glasses) if it's in black and white?

@ch3burashka

While the game will appear to be black and white, there will be red and cyan in the images as well. If you were to look at it w/o glasses it would appear like this.

That Baja lawsuit was CLASSIC.

while it sounds fun and all.. that graphical style would drive me nuts.

Ahhh Excitebick... The memories. I didnt think Excitebick 64 was worthy of the name though. More of a Bick racing same then a Bick racing arcade game.
