Mad Racer Free

demensdeum

A game that advertises Full 3D graphics, accelerometer controls, outstanding music, honest police, and dizzying chases, should bring a few questions to mind. What the heck do you mean 'honest police'? How do you get 'dizzying chases'? The answer is simple, they are just making up words and throwing them into the overview, because this game fails on every imaginable level. Oh, and the music isn't good either.

The game play is hard, very hard, frustratingly difficult to the point you may want to throw your phone against the wall if you commit yourself to actually mastering this game. You are the motorcycle thug 'Dooshce Bagger' who is trying to go 200 mph on his motorcycle on a major freeway with no helmet in a town that apparently specializes in the manufacturing and transportation of large ramps as there are about as many of those on the highway as there are anything else. You launch rockets to clear your way and to get 'the man' and his deadly assault helicopters off your back. 

The flaws in this game are too many to note all in this one review, the traffic flies at you waaaaaay too fast, there are no real explanations on what you are doing, you have to crash your cycle about 30 times before you start to even get a grasp on what you are doing. The best strategy is to aim for the aforementioned ramps and launch rockets whenever you see anything in front of you. The lack of power ups or any incentive other then score driving you makes this game a complete waste of space.

Recommendation: Don't play it, don't download it, don't even read this review of it.

Hill Climb Racing

FingerSoft

It's not often one can earn money by breaking your neck doing a flip, the obvious exception being submitting a clip of you trying to America's Funniest Home Video's. The other less obvious and much safer method is to take Hill Climb Racing for spin on your smartphone.

The premise is simple enough, do some fancy tricks and get as far into the course as you can without running out of fuel or landing on your noggin. You are rewarded with money that you can use for car power ups and unlocking more interesting courses. Once you unlock the moon course you can rack up the dough pretty quick since you can do a whole lot of flips and tricks with the extremely low gravity. Several variations and no need to fork up any cash (there are some pop ups, but they don't get in the way of game play) make this a game you can enjoy for a good long time.

Recommendation - Install it, keep it on your phone for a while, use it to kill time every now and then.

Extreme Roadtrip 2

RoofDog
Are you looking for a much more rich and detailed horizon view in your stunt racer games on your smartphone? Well then you have found your dream game. Extreme Roadtrip 2 has some very nice graphics with a very simple set of rules to play. Keep the wheels between you and the road or explode.

The twist to this game that separates it from some of it's similar counterparts is the tiered accelerator bars. You have your standard Red Barrels that give you fuel that keep you moving, then you have your blue NOS gained from doing stunts that give you an accelerated boost, and finally a flashy yellow rocket fuel that is hard to get, but really make you fly. Beyond that, the concept of gathering coins to get better vehicles is pretty simular to other stunt racer games out there.

Cam control is ok, and other then some ads at start up (mostly for other games) this game doesn't demand any more then what you want to put into it. Although sharing some of your details on Facebook is rewarded with coins that are a little harder to accumulate in this game then in others.

Recommendation - A little tougher to master then other Stunt Racer Games, but also offers a bit more longevity of play. If you like racer games but find you get bored with them easily, give this one a try.
