For the first time in the franchise, Crash Time III (Highway Nights in Germany only) introduces a day and night cycle. There are 30 cases to complete, which unlock cars and race tracks for use against AI opponents or one local player. A demo was released in Europe in December 2009 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Crash Time III is scheduled for release outside of Germany (but within Europe) on February 19, 2010.
The game name is derived from the fact that it is the first in the series to contain a day and night cycle, meaning that it is the first game to have events occur at night. During the nighttime, car lights are turned on and other simple changes are made. The game was developed by Synetic, and released by RTL Playtainment.
