Hi Pranav, Thankfully, it's the latter option, RailRacer has it's own virtual currency. You win money by winning races against the computer and optionally betting against other racers online. There is a class rating system for the tracks, the higher the class the trickier the track, and the more virtual money it's worth to win a race on it. There are also a few extras you only have access too once you've worked your way up to being a certain class of racer.
In short, it's good stuff. More depth to it than a lot of audio games, but not so much depth and technicality that it stops being fun. hth Scott On 8/12/09, Pranav Lal <pranav....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Che, > > One thing that does intreague me about rail racer is the amount of money you > need to pay for extras.
