I went through multiple options provided by the developer before coming across one that worked which was using the Amerigo app on my iPhone to generate the server, then uploading song files to that server from my PC. Once they’re uploaded, you’ll need to enter the URL of the local server into the game and finally, you’ll have access to your songs and effectively unlimited gameplay options.

Instead, you’ll need to install software on your PC, Mac, or phone to create your own local server, then upload the songs to that server in a supported format (m3u, aiff, mp3, ogg, wav, or flac). There’s no option to upload via USB or connect to your streaming platform of choice and access your personal library. Link is the really key option here as this is where you can add your own music, however, this too is somewhat problematic. The most familiar options were remixes of songs like Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” and “Milkshake” by Kelis, but most of the songs had titles like “WVRP #4428 – It’s LIT” and “TIEMPO \u23f3,” so the likelihood of you finding something you know is minimal to non-existent. A look through the trending list revealed hundreds of songs but nothing I’d ever heard of. I searched for dozens of artists and came up blank with literally none of my searches returning results no matter how popular or obscure I went.

There are 43 tracks from artists including Gremlyn, Isafold, Jegbee, Profane, Projekt F, and Tobu-nothing I’d ever heard of and, most likely, nothing you’ll have heard of either.Īudius is a music streaming service and you can either search for artists or check out what’s trending, however, don’t expect to find anything familiar. Local is the tracks that come preinstalled with the game. None of the options allow you to preview the songs before starting a level with them, so you’ll be going in blind unless you know the song already. There are three ways to select music to race to on Music Racer Ultimate: Local, Audius, and Link. No, Really, They’re VERY Minimal Music Options However, you’ll also score no points in this mode, it exists purely for relaxing visuals, not gameplay. There are no pillars or beats, you’ll just get to listen to the music and control the camera angle if you want. You can literally play (and score reasonably well) without ever touching the controller.Ĭinematic Mode is as relaxed as it comes. In Zen Mode, there are no pillars, only beats, making this a more relaxing option.

Hard Mode is almost identical to Standard, except hitting a pillar will immediately end the level entirely. Hitting a pillar dissolves your vehicle for a moment and jolts the music, but then you’ll continue on as before. In Standard Mode, you’ll race along the three tracks trying to hit beats and avoid the pillars. There are four game modes on Music Racer Ultimate: Standard, Hard, Zen, and Cinematic. There are no expansions or in-game purchases in Music Racer Ultimate. Music Racer Ultimate is currently available on: This is entirely down to the lyrics of the songs you can access, so if you’re supervising play and only using your own curated music with younger players, the game would be suitable for all ages. Music Racer Ultimate is rated PEGI 12 and ESRB Teen. If you have ever had any previous problems with seizures, I would highly recommend avoiding this game entirely.

Neither I nor my son have any health conditions that cause seizures, however, both of us independently noted to the other that we felt as if we were on the brink of one after completing some levels due to the amount of flashing, colorful lights, and the need to stare intently at the direct center of the screen. I cannot stress enough how closely you should heed this warning for this particular game. WARNING: Music Racer Ultimate, like many video games, begins with a warning about it having the potential to induce seizures.

The biggest selling point of the updated version is that you can upload your own music to the game, giving it infinite possibilities. You’ll drive around a variety of tracks in different vehicles trying to hit as many beats as possible in order to maximize your score and unlock more options. Music Racer Ultimate is an updated version of Music Racer, a racing rhythm game that combines elements of traditional racing games with music rhythm games like Guitar Hero.
