Hit the gas! Gumball 3000: World Tour puts you behind the wheel of exotic cars in a country-hopping gauntlet inspired by the real-world rally. Blow past rivals on open highways, swerve around civilian traffic on curving streets and earn thousands of adoring fans – plus prize money and blueprints to upgrade your ride.

What we love: The drama on and off the road. When you’re not dodging tuk-tuks on the streets of Phnom Penh, you’ll revel in juicy smack talk with fellow racers. (What’s the deal with icy Liza Paulsen and her domineering dad?) Or strike up a friendship with Maximillion Cooper – a virtual version of the Gumball 3000 Rally’s real-life creator – to learn the ropes.

Quick tip: Clean run races – where you’re eliminated if you collide with another vehicle or obstacle – are some of the trickiest in the game. On roads with a single lane in each direction, you’re better off using the shoulder to overtake cars instead of trying to swerve around them. Just look out for telephone poles!
