Race illegal High Speed 3D
SCORE: 89
My first impression of Race illegal High
Speed 3D on the iPhone/iPod Touch was I was playing Ridge Racer. Please
note that Race illegal High Speed 3D also plays on the iPad. It is a
universal build. The cars in Race illegal High Speed 3D look fantastic.
APetrus has done an amazing job developing Race illegal High Speed 3D.
Chillingo is very intelligent to be publishing this game.
The graphics in Race illegal High Speed 3D will blow you away. I am
still stunned at how good this game looks on this little hand held. I
could see this game porting over to the Nintendo 3DS easily, or the
Playstation Vita. The vehicles, backgrounds and tracks are awesome. The
one minor dent in this department is the crashing into other vehicles.
Certain areas of Race illegal High Speed 3D encourage you to smash other
cars.
The music in Race illegal High Speed 3D is epic. It not only fits the
theme, but brings some high profile to this game. What will shock many
gamers is Race illegal High Speed 3D includes a story in the career
mode. APetrus raised the bar in terms of racing games on this platform.
The story revolves around the illegal nature of these races and how
these different teams compete. To me the groupings acted more like gangs
than teams but that may be splitting hairs.
The most shocking aspect of Race illegal High Speed 3D to me is the
price. This app is selling for ninety-nine cents. *cough* A game of this
quality could sell for $4.99 and fans would be happy. The low price of
Race illegal High Speed 3D is insane. There are multiple vehicles,
tracks, and modes. Race illegal High Speed 3D lets you race others and
attach a picture to your profile. Many will spend time in the
customization of their vehicle.
Race illegal High Speed 3D really shines in the controls department.
Tapping the screen in certain areas does things like brings up a virtual
wheel, changes camera mode, or adds a speed boost. The first level will
quickly bring players up to speed on all of these options. I love
tilting my iPod Touch as the control scheme. It works better than I
could have ever hoped. APetrus got the controls down masterfully.
Racing generally teaches to get to the finish line first. At Family
Friendly Gaming we believe in racing cleanly. Race illegal High Speed 3D
does not encourage that. It also revolves around the illegal racing
circuit. When you crash in Race illegal High Speed 3D most of the time
you are smashing innocents. As I played this game I felt bad that
someone trying to drive home to their family after work may have died.
Race illegal High Speed 3D provides no consequences for this ethics
violation.
Overall I am very impressed with Race illegal High Speed 3D. The level
this game is at surpasses any other racing game on this platform. All
other developers need to bring their 'A' game to compete in the future.
