Streak: Hoverboard Racing is a 1998 futuristic racing video game developed by SingleTrac and published by GT Interactive for the PlayStation.

Gameplay

Streak: Hoverboard Racing is a futuristic racing game where players control anti-gravity hoverboards, competing across various tracks while performing stunts to gain speed. The game features a standard race mode, where players progress through increasingly difficult courses, and a Freestyle mode, which focuses on tricks and scoring. Multiplayer options allow for single-player, two-player, and link cable competitions.[3]

Development

The game was developed by the same team that did Jet Moto and Jet Moto 2.[4][1]

Reception

GameSpot gave the game a score of 5.1 out of 10 criticizing the "questionable physics, stiff animation, low polygon counts, and ridiculously difficult tracks."[1]

The Daily Times said "Some would say the challenge is finishing high enough to advance. For us, the challenge was turning the game off and walking away"[7]
