Do you like cars? Do you like tuning them up and then taking them out to see what they can do? Then you might just like Car Club: Live, the “fully upgraded” successor to last year’s Car Club: Tuning Storm. The new game promises even more customization options than big-budget franchises like Need For Speed or Gran Turismo, with hundreds of replaceable parts like bumpers, roofs, doors, hoods and more, all gloriously rendered in high-polygon, 3D models.

But a car that just looks good in the parking lot outside the 7-11 store is only half a car, so once you’ve got your machine all tricked out you can square off against friends and strangers alike. The built-in social system will make it easy to hook up with dudes in Camaros and everyone else on the virtual streets, and there’s more to do than just racing: you can wash your friends’ vehicles, gamble, steal their money and, if you’re the less-than-scrupulous sort, even commit a little bit of strategic vandalism. There are achievements to collect and online rankings that let you measure your performance against friends and rivals alike.
There’s nothing of Car Club: Live to actually see at this point beyond a few screenshots, but the promise of “funny garage entertainment” is certainly intriguing. The iOS-exclusive Car Club: Live will shut ’em up and then shut ‘down in February.
