Through history, race.
You might think that you accidentally opened an OutRun emulator when you load Beat It. The graphics and 8-bit sound, along with red, pixelated Acura NX, try to transport you back in 1986. It is based upon the Acura advertisement of the same title. This campaign celebrates 30 years of Acura’s video game and automotive history. The game allows players to control some of the same models as the ad: the Acura Type S Concept and the 1991 Acura NXX.
Each level is a journey through videogame history. It starts with an 8-bit style from the 1980s and 1990s, before moving to a more realistic photo-realistic look that matches today’s powerful gaming graphics. The music also changes. Acura went so far as to give each Acura vehicle its own driving characteristics and performance attributes.
Beat That surpasses six levels of mobile motoring mischief. You can share your results with friends through “dynamic share cards”. Players can challenge their friends via the instant messaging platform of their choice. Players can also head to the top 10 or all time top 10 leaderboards to challenge their friends and hit the “Challenge” button at a particular time. You will be able to race against a ghost car in the game overlay. Beat That can be played on desktops and mobile devices using the browser. It is also available on the Facebook instant games platform. Drivers, turn your engines on and charge your phones.
