PixelJunk Racers is a racing video game developed and published by Q-Games for the PlayStation 3.
[1] Core racing modes have up to three levels of difficulty (Normal, Turbo and Master) varying with the speed of the gameplay.

[3] 2nd Lap received "average" reviews, albeit a bit more favorable than the original PixelJunk Racers, according to Metacritic.
