Description

London Racer II is another iteration in the prolific Racer series by Davilex. The races take place primarily in the streets of London and Edinburgh, with additional tracks in Las Vegas, New York and Chicago.

There are three single player modes available: Single Race, Tournament and Time Trial. In Single Race the player is free to choose any of the 6 characters available, any of the tracks and any of the unlocked cars. In Tournament mode, the player races in a series of tracks while collecting money prizes and unlocking new cars. In both modes, players race against other races while avoiding being catch by the police. The Time Trial mode, players race against the clock trying to beat the best time for each track.

Each car (driven by a different character) has different stats in acceleration, top speed, handling, breaking and strength. The cars can also be upgraded using money collected from winning races and collecting money tokens during races. The cars also take damage when hit and can break into total loss if the damage bar is full. Repair tokens can be collected during races and if a car finishes a race damaged it can be repaired before the next one using money. Nitro tokens can also be collected and bought, and the cars’ colors can be changed.

There are also two split-screen two player modes: Duel and Cop vs. Driver. In the Duel mode, players race against each other in any given track. In Cop vs. Driver, one player is the cop and the other a regular racer, and the cop player must try to crash the driver within the time limit.

The game can be played from either first (hood camera) or third person (behind the car) perspective.

London Racer II

Overview & History

Released in 2002 by Davilex Games, London Racer II (known as *London Racer II: Destruction* in some territories) is the adrenaline-fueled sequel to the surprisingly popular European budget-title budget racer. Moving away from standard point-to-point street racing, this arcade iteration leans heavily into vehicular combat, chaos, and urban destruction across the foggy, iconic streets of the UK capital. Rather than focusing purely on clean driving lines, players are thrust into high-stakes pursuits, battling rival racers and dodging aggressive law enforcement across meticulously recreated—albeit blocky—landmarks like the Tower Bridge and Piccadilly Circus.

Gameplay Features & Mechanics

The core gameplay loop centers on aggressive arcade-style vehicular combat rather than simulation physics. Players select from a roster of heavily modified hatchbacks, muscle cars, and sports sedans, each with distinct stats for top speed, acceleration, and armor durability. Unlike its predecessor, London Racer II introduces a dynamic "Destruction Meter" that fills as you ram opponents, smash through civilian traffic, and trigger environmental hazards. Once charged, players can unleash a temporary turbo-boost combined with shockwave damage to clear the road. The campaign mode features branching paths, forcing players to choose between underground street-racing syndicates and high-octane police takedown missions. Power-ups scattered across the tarmac grant temporary invincibility, oil slicks, and guided missiles, turning every circuit into a chaotic demolition derby where survival is just as important as crossing the finish line first.
