Pulse Racer is a video game developed and published by Jaleco Entertainment in North America for the Xbox in 2002. The game is a futuristic racing game featuring the addition of a speed boost system in which players "use their own life force" to gain acceleration in races.[4] Pulse Racer also featured a novel track creation system, INFINITRAX, in which players could generate random tracks by setting a number of custom parameters. The game was released to a poor critical reception, with reviewers faulting the game's unoriginality and lackluster execution of its novel gameplay additions, including the speed boost system. The game remains one of the lowest-rated titles for the Xbox.[5]
