Drift Sumi-e Review

Review Objectify LLC By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 9 months ago
Drift Sumi-e Review

Drawrace was an interesting concept. Draw a line with your finger around the track, and then see how fast your car gets to the finish line. Drift Sumi-e takes this mechanic and combines drifting cars with the elegance of Japanese sumi-e brush painting. Control is quite basic. When presented with the track, you draw a line from start to finish, avoiding the red trouble spots of the track. After you're finished, the game will go into race mode as your car drifts through the turns you la…

Riddim Ribbon feat. The Black Eyed Peas Review

Review Tapulous, Inc. By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 9 months ago
Riddim Ribbon feat. The Black Eyed Peas Review

Tapulous has made some of the better music and rhythm games on the iphone with their well recieved 'Tap Tap Revenge' series. Now they're trying a new take on the rhythm genre with Riddim Ribbon. Similar in look to the indie PC game Audiosurf, players ride a wave of the music chosen, but sadly that's where the similarities end. Players tilt their iphone to move left and right along the track. The aim of the game is to keep on the small road that moves in time to the beat. Along the roa…

Eveningstar Review

Review Divine Robot Ltd By Kym Holmes, 14 years, 9 months ago
Eveningstar Review

Eveningstar is a forward scrolling shoot em up with a slightly different focus on the way you destroy enemies. The goal, as with most shoot em ups, is to fly to the end of the level killing enemies along the way to eventually take down the boss. The difference that Eveningstar uses to separate it from any other space shoot em ups is that you have an energy ball floating around the ship that acts as your primary weapon. To control the ship, you simply move your finger around the screen…

Review Donut Games By Kym Holmes, 14 years, 9 months ago
Comet Racer Review

The newest in Donut Games' lineup of arcade games for the iPhone is Comet Racer. Comet Racer is a simple, top down racing game where you fly a spaceship around paths cut out of asteroids in the shortest amount of time possible. Like many of Donut Games' games, the controls are very easy to use and understand, with a button for acceleration and two buttons to steer left and right. You need only steer your spaceship around the asteroids, avoiding the walls and occasional missle whilst t…

RIDGE RACER ACCELERATED Review

RIDGE RACER ACCELERATED Review

Riiidge Racer! Who could forget that beckoning call in the arcades? Ridge Racer has finally hit the iPhone but unfortunately, this one is something to steer clear of. The usual game modes are on offer, Arcade, Duel and Survival. Arcade is a basic race, Duel pits you against another car, and Survival is exactly as it sounds, with the last place car being eliminated each lap. Controls are limited to tilt steering, and is one of the worst implementations this reviewer has seen. They just…

Need for Speed Shift Review

Review Electronic Arts By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 10 months ago
Need for Speed Shift Review

It's hard to put some prejudices behind and while racing games are generally fun, they also lack a lot of energy and feel like they're entirely interchangeable. Thankfully the cure to this lethargy is simple as Need for Speed Shift isn't just fast and furious, it's so good you'll be smiling in 60 seconds. One of the first solid features of the game revolves around your chosen difficulty settings. Depending on your selection features like auto-braking, steering assist, auto transmissio…

Review AvatarLabs By Kelly Mitchell, 14 years, 10 months ago
Rhythm Racer Review

Rhythm Racer is a free futuristic 3D racing game which combines elements of “F-Zero” and “Guitar Hero” to deliver a fast paced, high volume racing experience which is unlike anything you've ever seen before.

Like Guitar Hero, the game will let you miss a few beats, however if you miss…

Runway Review

Review Rahul Biswas By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 10 months ago
Runway Review

Runway is another addition to the ever growing traffic management genre, placing players behind the air control tower as they direct incoming airplanes. Players will need to refuel and repair planes, load and unload passengers and keep a steady eye on the runway to avoid collisions. The game uses some straightforward line-drawing mechanics and easily allows players to see plane paths and work out a plan. Players receive various indications by coloured bars that appear over planes; Red…

Parcel Panic - Post Car Racer 3D Review

Review Mad Processor By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 10 months ago
Parcel Panic - Post Car Racer 3D Review

Remember the Sega Dreamcast and its 2 year stint in the marketplace? If you do, then you’ll probably remember Crazy Taxi, the fast paced and eclectic taxi/racing game where players had to drive passengers around the city as fast as possible. Well now it’s time for a bit of a sea change in Parcel Panic. Yes instead of fares, players must drive around a small island town, picking up and delivering crates. Players drive their small truck by using the on screen gas and brake p…

Running With Scissors: Pre-Season Review

Review sLeek Games By Kelly Mitchell, 14 years, 10 months ago
Running With Scissors: Pre-Season Review

Running With Scissors: Pre-Season is a strategic racing game that mixes fantasy with the truly bizarre, as players must madly dash, jump, and fly to the finish whilst avoiding atypical obstacles like giant aliens, kittens, tsunamis and meteor showers.  The controls are heavily reliant on a combination of fast reflexes and quick thinking which will take a little practice, but the first level plays out like a tutorial and will show you how to make your character dash, jump, fly and…

Low Grav Racer 2 Review

Review Cobra Mobile Limited By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 10 months ago
Low Grav Racer 2 Review

In the same vein as futuristic racers like Wipeout and F-Zero, Low Grav Racer 2 is Cobra Mobile's second attempt at bringing high-speed, face melting combat-based racing to the App Store. Much of the inconsistency that plagued the previous game's controls have returned proving to be too sensitive at slow speeds and almost dead at high speeds, but thankfully the addition of sensitivity options and practice can make this manageable. The physics are fairly fanciful and make it difficult…

Snow Moto Racing Review

Review Dohi Sweden By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 11 months ago
Snow Moto Racing Review

Snow Moto Racing is the self proclaimed first snowmobile racing game available on the App Store by Resolution Interactive, but can this bite-sized racer compete against its bigger brothers? The controls are mostly tilt-based, using touches for performing stunts and other minor actions. Turning feels really nice though it may take a bit of initial adjustment to get used to what feels like two-levels of sensitivity while turning. Snow isn't the most common terrain for a racing game to s…
