‘Cubed Rally Racer’ – New Lite Version and 99¢ Sale is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Back in May, Jared Bailey from NoCanWin.com released Cubed Rally Racer [99¢] onto the App Store. Inspired by NES-era isometric racers, Cubed Rally Racer was dubbed “RC Pro-Am meets Canabalt”, and fits that tagline rather well. It put you in control of a rally car tasked with racing through randomly generated levels, all the while avoiding cows, gophers, and other silly obstacles on your way to the finish line. We really liked the game in our review, but noted that the controls can be hard to get used to and the overall difficulty of the game is rather high.

Because of those reasons, many gamers may have been on the fence over purchasing the game. Those fence-sitters should be happy to know then that a lite version of Cubed Rally Racer has just been made available. The full version features tracks made up of sections, with a maximum number of 99 sections in a track. Cubed Rally Racer Lite [Free] features up to 3 sections of track to race on, and a selection of the different unlockable track obstacles from the full version. It's definitely enough to give you an idea of whether or not you'll enjoy the full version, and there is an option to upgrade to the full right from within the game after practically every race.

What you don't get in the lite is any kind of OpenFeint integration, which is a huge part of Cubed Rally Racer as you can send challenges to friends and and compete on several different leaderboards. Also missing in the lite is the endless Pasture mode which acts as a more casual practice track, and Redline mode which is pretty much the opposite and has a red line chasing you down an endless course while you race, forcing you to keep up a brisk pace. These two modes have been added in an update since we reviewed the game, and players in our forums are absolutely loving them. In addition, the full version has many more types of track sections and obstacles available.

If you have never been able to pull the trigger on purchasing Cubed Rally Racer, definitely give this new lite version a try. It's the type of game that doesn't appeal to everybody, but to those who take kindly to it it's a real gaming treat. As an added incentive, the full game is seeing it's first ever price drop, down to 99¢ from $1.99. If you like what you see in the lite version, now is a great chance to jump on the full version of Cubed Rally Racer during this limited time sale.

‘Aqua Moto Racing 2′ Review – An Already Great Game Gets an Even Better Sequel is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

When the original Aqua Moto Racing [$1.99 / Free] came out in March of last year, we thought Resolution Interactive was really on to something in our review. The original is a really great racing game with graphics that we described as "unbelievable" at the time. Going back and looking at the original review, even as incredibly positive as it was, I can confidently say that Aqua Moto Racing 2 [$4.99 / Free] is even better than its predecessor.

As mentioned in our recent hands-on preview, the most immediate change you will notice is the implementation of a fantastic dynamic water system. Aqua Moto provided for some great arcade style wave-runner action, but all of the water you were racing on was woefully calm. In the sequel, there are waves to deal with everywhere, swells of water that will either make or break a huge jump, and inconvenient bumps that come from out of nowhere as you're trying to make it around a tight corner. This new wave system adds so much to the game that going back and forth from Aqua Moto and Aqua Moto 2 feels like more than a difference of just a simple sequel, and instead seems like a leap between generations of game consoles.

The cornerstone of the single player game is definitely championship mode, where you will find yourself racing through all of the different courses included in the game through difficulties ranging from beginner to pro. Along the way you'll earn money which is used to buy new wave-runners, each providing a significant performance boost over the last. The individual race tracks take place in three different aquatic environments, but the tracks themselves are made out buoys that racers need to either pass on the right of left and a healthy assortment of ramps to get tons of air off of. Each of the tracks feel unique enough that you never feel like you're really racing the same races over and over, and it's surprising how much variation the developers have managed to put in to a game that really only has three settings that everything takes place in.

As you unlock tracks in championship mode, you're able to race them in quick race mode, as well as compete in OpenFeint powered online leaderboards and challenges with other places. In the OpenFeint department there's also a load of achievements that range from racing precisely or aggressively, pulling awesome stunts, winning races, and other categories. Tracks are also eventually able to be raced in mirror mode, providing even more replay value.

Several control options are included. By default, you steer with a virtual steering wheel in the bottom left corner and accelerate using a button on the right. Alternatively, you can let the game handle acceleration by itself which replaces the accelerator with a brake pedal and if you prefer, you can control the game by tilting as well. Oddly enough, there's no option for both manual acceleration and braking.

Aqua Moto 2 has a stunt system which can be activated in air by flicking your device, or automatically if you're boosting over a jump. With stunt mode engaged the game slows down and you can perform stunts by pressing buttons which frame the screen. The camera then pans out, and you watch your dude do his trick (and hopefully land it). Both the automatic stunt mode and stunt camera can be disabled in the options, and it didn't take me long before unchecking both boxes because stunting can cause considerable problems, especially in close races and tight tracks.

In every mention of both Aqua Moto Racing and Aqua Moto Racing 2 we've made comparisons to Wave Race 64, and this sequel is getting even closer to Wave Race perfection. I highly recommend at least downloading the lite version of the game to check out the cool new dynamic water system, and from there, I doubt it will be much of a leap for most people to download the full version.

Hands-On Preview: Reckless Racing from Pixelbite and Polarbit is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Reckless Racing, from Pixelbite and Polarbit, soon to be published by EA, was originally called Deliverence when we first looked at it in March. Since then, Polarbit have adjusted the release, the name, and decided to release it as an EA Partner release. Which is all well and good as the game seems pretty much unchanged other than the name. It’s all here, the multiple play modes, different control modes, online multiplayer (take note EA), and fantastic realism. Though it does look like they had to get rid of the orange Dukes of Hazard General Lee look-alike car and replace it with a blue one. Oh well.

First, a little recap. Reckless Racing is a top down, 3/4 view racer with up to 6 cars on the track at once. You control your racer around 12 different tracks in three different play modes (Dirt Rally, Hot Lap, Delivery). The game is rendered in really nice 3D — both the cars and the scenery. Really looking forward to the online multiplayer — this should be interesting. It didn’t appear that it was using any of the known social gaming networks (OpenFeint, Plus+, etc.) and could either be a custom one or details are just hidden.

Dirt Rally is a progressive career mode where you get medals for winning races and that leads to unlocking more and more race tracks (12 in total). Hot Lap has you competing for the fastest time in a lap. And the interesting Delivery mode has you hook up a trailer to your car — which causes all kinds of interesting driving. Delivering your trailer contents (or what’s left of them) at the end of the race and within a time limit nets you a dollar amount (the more that stays in the trailer, the more you earn).

More good news today though — even though it wasn’t available to take a look at, Reckless Racing will also be coming to the iPad. From the screenshots (see below), it looks pretty fantastic on the iPad, I can’t wait to try it. Here’s the original video when the game was still called Deliverance.

Reckless Racing will be out sometime this summer. Considering it has to be almost done, I hope that really means soon!

GT Racing: Motor Academy HD for iPad In-Depth Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

It’s a very good thing that I don’t drive in real life anything like the way I drive in Gameloft’s new GT Racing: Motor Academy HD game for the iPad. If I did, well, let’s just keep it simple and say that you wouldn’t want to be on the road with me. GT Racing Academy is the latest attempt at bringing a console-style racing game to the iPad, and while it’s full of features it still packs a mean learning curve.

GT Racing: Motor Academy HD allows you to start playing immediately, if you wish, via the Arcade Mode, but if you’re new to playing this type of racing game, it’s probably best to start in the Career Mode. Similar to console games such as Sony’s Gran Turismo, you must first get a lower-level license, then buy a car before attempting to win races and money. The beginning license trials serve as an excellent tutorial for the driving mechanics in the game, as you are required to accelerate fully, then stop in a predetermined area, or make a sharp turn without going off of the track. Given the control scheme of the game, these simple tasks are not particularly easy at first, so it’s good to get quite a bit of practice in before tackling an entire race. As you add licenses, you unlock other races and cars, so there’s a good motivation for playing the career mode for quite a long while.

And there’s a strong selection of cars available throughout the game. Fortunately, these are licensed cars, so there are no lookalikes or knock-offs present. Everything from Bugatti and Ferrari to Ford and Plymouth is available, providing drivers with over 100 unlockable cars throughout the game. Once you own cars, you can tweak them to your heart’s content by visiting the aftermarket store in Career Mode.

Once you’ve gotten comfortable with the game and have advanced considerably in your racing career, you can use your Gameloft Live account to test your skills online versus multiple opponents. While it may be tempting to jump right into the online mode from the outset, I recommend against it. Unless you enjoy having your hat handed to you repeatedly, you need to get some considerable experience offline before taking on actual humans. Once you’re ready for it, however, you’ll find that online multiplayer works very smoothly, and plays just as well as its offline counterpart.

GT Racing: Motor Academy looks good, though not quite as good as its nearest competition – Firemint’s Real Racing HD. While the car models are generally well done, don’t expect hyper-realism by any stretch – collisions won’t change the look or feel of your car. Also, while the graphics themselves aren’t sluggish, there isn’t much of a sense of speed when racing. True to the earlier Gran Turismo comparison, GT Racing is more of a sim-style racing game than an arcade racer, so the rush and sensation of speed in the game is not as prevalent as it might be in a more arcade-focused offering. The focus here is more on the subtle driving variables that can influence the outcome of a race.

The controls are similar to other touch-screen driving games. In the default mode, you can control your car by tilting the iPad left or right, while manipulating acceleration and braking via buttons on the right and left hand sides of the screen, respectively, but there are many possible ways to configure the controls beyond the simple default. First time players will have a heck of a time just keeping their car on the road when learning how to drive. As for me, all I needed was to have my Dad yelling at me from the passenger seat and it would have felt like being sixteen again. Fortunately, the developers have included a variety of driving aids to help those of us with less than polished skills. These include traction control, braking assistance and best lines to follow when driving. All of these help tremendously with the basic feat of keeping your car on the road. If accelerating and braking prove problematic, those can be set on automatic as well. My only concern is that I’m not sure how many races you could actually win while using these aids. Still, their inclusion is appreciated.

The in-game sound effects are workmanlike, but if you don’t like the music provided within the game, you can always pull up your in-car stereo (nicely represented as an Alpine system) and play playlists from your iTunes collection. So if racing while listening to the likes of Pavoratti is your thing, GT Racing has you covered.

Ultimately, it’s the developers’ choice to create a sim-style racing game that impacts whether or not you’re going to enjoy the game. Those who are looking for an arcade-style game that they can jump right into will be sorely disappointed, if not altogether frustrated. Unlike many iPhone/iPad games, GT Racing: Motor Academy HD is not a game you play in quick sessions. True to its roots, it’s a long-form game that requires patience and a fairly deep and abiding interest in auto racing. Sim racing fans will be comfortable with what they find in the game, and will be glad to see a wealth of options and customizations available for many of their favorite cars, right from the comfort of their iPads.

‘Drift Mania Championship’ Review – A Drifting Racer with Great Controls is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

RatRod Studio, the creators of Mike V: Do or Die [$2.99] recently released their second game on the App Store. Drift Mania Championship [99¢], as the title would imply, is a racing game that emphasizes on drifting. If you've never played a game that requires drifting, or have never been an irresponsible freshly-licensed teenager behind the wheel of a car in an empty wet or snow covered parking lot, drifting is intentionally oversteering your car to lose traction in your rear wheels while going around a corner. When performed well, this results in awesome sideways sliding at high speed, or, when done poorly, ends in an embarrassing spinout.

Drift Mania Championship combines so many great things in to one racing game that I can hardly believe they're selling it at 99¢. Everything from collaborating with the DMCC Drift League, licensed music, a great physics engine, replays, online leaderboards, as well as multiple cars, difficulties, tracks, and a really well-done control system, makes picking up Drift Mania Championship should be a no-brainer to anyone interested in racing games.

Part of drifting any car, either in a video game or in real life, involves accurate control of your car's speed. Drift Mania Championship accomplishes this with a clever control setup where you steer your car by tilting, and control the accelerator by sliding your thumb up and down the right side of the screen. The lower left corner is home to a button to pull your car's hand brake, and keeping control of your car while maintaining speed and sliding sideways requires precise use of both. On your first race there is a brief tutorial that you read through that teaches you how to drift, and while it would be nice to have something a little more interactive, it does the trick. If you find yourself spinning out too often, just take it slow until you get a hang of exactly how much you need to steer in to turns to not lose control.

Three tracks are included along with three difficulty levels hidden away in the options. One car is unlocked initially, with an additional car unlocked for finishing first on each track as well as a fifth car for finishing first in all three tracks. Placement in the races is determined by your total score which seems to be computed by how long your drifts and how fast you're going with bonuses offered for style, chaining drifts together, and other things. At the end of each race you're shown a replay that highlights your best drifts, and you're given the opportunity to upload your score to the global leader boards which already seem to be loaded with scores that I'll never be able to beat.

The current down side to Drift Mania Championship is that while it's being sold as a universal game, it seems to be entirely broken on the iPad. As with the recent Trism update, Drift Mania Championship attempts to run at the native iPad resolution, but all the interface elements are out of whack which makes you unable to play the game. The game being released as universal seems to be unintentional, as the game's FAQ mentions a separate HD version being released later. Needless to say, if you plan on playing this game on your iPad, I'd avoid it for now.

If you don't care about the current lack of iPad compatibility, Drift Mania Championship is one of the better games I've played that rely on drifting your car around. The controls are great, and while it would be nice to have more than three tracks, there could be a sizable amount of replay value through unlocking all the cars and competing in the online leaderboards. Aside from the iPad issues, people on our forums are really enjoying the game, and as long as you plan on only playing it on your iPod touch or iPhone, Drift Mania Championship isn't hard to recommend, especially for 99¢.

Jet Car Stunts Updates with iOS 4 Enhancements, New DLC Levels is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

True Axis has updated its stunt driving title Jet Car Stunts ($1.99) with a number of iOS 4-specific features and 26 new downloadable levels.

Version 1.4 of Jet Car Stunts features full-screen anti-aliasing for iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod Touch devices. True Axis notes that native support for the iPhone 4′s Retina display will be included in a forthcoming update.

Fans will also want to check out a new $1.99 level pack, which adds 26 all-new levels. Stages previously exclusive to the game’s Lite version are now included in the full version, and levels that were previously described as “impossible” by the developers are now playable in an optional, easier casual mode.

‘Jet Car Stunts’ Update Adds New DLC Levels and iOS4 Enhancements is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Late last week we reported that the new update to one of our favorite iPhone games, Jet Car Stunts, was in review and just waiting on Apple to give it the go ahead. Yesterday afternoon the update finally went live on the App Store, and as great as this news is for fans of the game, it also comes with some minor (temporary) disappointment.

First let's start with the good news, and that of course is the addition of 26 brand new levels that can be purchased within the app for $1.99. I've given the new levels a quick spin and they seem to be of the same high quality design as the original levels, and possibly even more so. There's no shortage of crazy jumps, loops, and even driving on ceilings in these new levels. Another nice feature is that the 8 levels that were previously exclusive to the lite version of Jet Car Stunts can now be downloaded for free in the full version. This may not be especially exciting to those who have played the lite version to death, but it's nice not having to have both icons taking up space on the springboard. Other improvements include iOS 4 support for anti-aliasing and fast app switching support for iPhone 3GS and 3^rd generation iPod touches.

As for the not-so-good news, the graphical enhancement that would have brought retina display support for iPhone 4 seems to have hit a bit of a snag in its journey to the App Store. While the other iOS 4 features are working flawlessly, something seems to have gone awry with the part of the update that was to add the retina display support. All is not lost though, as the developer immediately sprang to action, found and fixed the problem, and has already submitted a new update to Apple – all within a matter of hours. If all goes well with the approval process, this extra eye candy should be available within the next week or so.

One other very cool bonus with this latest update is the addition of a cheat menu. This menu gives you the option of a couple different vehicle colors, as well as the ability to unlock every level without having to beat all the previous ones. This is great news if you want to dive right into the different tiers of levels, and while I won't completely divulge how to access the cheat menu, I will say it's pretty easy to find if you “poke” around the right screen within the game. With the 36 levels of the original, 26 brand new levels available as DLC, and the 8 levels from the lite version, all together Jet Car Stunts has 70 available levels to test your platforming and racing prowess.

‘Jet Car Stunts’ DLC and iOS 4 Enhancements Submitted and Pending Approval is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Back at E3 I sat down with the guys from TrueAxis to check out their upcoming game Space Tripper and get the low down on some upcoming Jet Car Stunts DLC. As you may recall, just before E3 was WWDC, during which Apple release the gold master for the then upcoming iOS 4 upgrade. Not long after, it was released, leaving TrueAxis now not only scrambling to finish the DLC pack, but also add in all the iOS 4 refinements they wanted to. After "some headaches," as they described it, the upcoming Jet Car Stunts update is currently in Apple's hands waiting for review.

This update is bringing an additional 26 levels available for a DLC purchase of $1.99, as well as the levels from the lite version being added to the full version for free. The previous impossible difficulty levels are now playable in casual mode. Best of all, Jet Car Stunts has been updated to not only have full screen anti-aliasing on both the 3rd generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS, but also full Retina Display support on the iPhone 4.

If this is the first you've heard of Jet Car Stunts, you simply must check out our review. It's a platformer that's been cleverly disguised as a 3D racing game where you must use your jet car to overcome insane obstacles, jumps, loops, and other stunts. The visual style is delightfully retro, with extremely simple 3D models set on top of an endless sky. The game runs at an astronomical framerate, and is one of the few games we've awarded 5 stars since the inception of our ranking system.

You really can't go wrong with Jet Car Stunts, and with the addition of the upcoming DLC pack and other enhancements, this great game is getting even better.
