Zero Gear is physically-fueled, online multiplayer kart combat madness.

Deck out your kart and character before jumping into one of many different game modes. Outrageous kinematic gameplay and weapons make every round a blast. The potential for tiny vehicular mayhem has never been so humongous! Boost, flip, spin, and slide your way to victory!

Up to 8 players.

Customizable karts and characters.

Multiple game modes to compete in, including Race, Tag, Goal, and Target modes.

Over 15 maps to compete in.

Non-stop physics driven action.

Ridiculous weapons and power-ups, including tornadoes, repulsor shields, and love-seeking L.U.V. bots.

DEMO

Currently on pre-order at ~£10

What are peoples thoughts? It reminds me of Mario kart and looks as if it has the possibility to be epic fun!

Anyone been involved in the beta at all?

i tried the demo and i found it pretty "meh". it was like mario kart but with no charm and boring weapons.

ooo a demo, didn't notice that!

Mr. Anderson · 5 Jan 2010 at 20:06

That is just a surge from me advertising the game here.

It looks ok. Simple games like that you only really know from trying it. I remember when Mario Kart (SNES) was released, at first a lot of people were wondering what the fuss was all about untill they played it and 18 years later MK is still the best of its kind.

They are using this game to enable them to play MW2 with a crack.
That's why you have 7000+ players.

Come again?

Apparently there is some kind of crack that exploits zero gears in some way, enabling hackers to play MW2 online.
