Driving The Free iPhone Stunt Car
May 27, 2009 by Ryan Ray
Alright after doing the obligatory healthy app review in between the last game review and this one, I feel a little better about telling you about this game that’s been sitting at the top of the app store for awhile. Luckily it’s being given away for free, and not only that it has 99 levels that come with it again for free! There are plenty of driving games out there like crash bandicoot, etc… but this is the best free one I’ve come across.
If you are a fan of racing games then Stunt Car Free is right up your alley. Once you load the game you are greeted with some great racing music and the menu I took a screen shot of below. You can hit Play! or buy the premium version which is obviously a link to their iPhone made website where you can pick from a lot of their free and paid games. The paid version of Stunt Car allows for even more tracks, levels, new cars, new stunts, nitro boosts, play against friends, more music and sound effects, etc… It may be the little things that make it worth the $2.99 for you.
To play the game is actually pretty intuitive. The controls are on the screen and while being on the screen they don’t clog up your view of the action. When the light turns green your car will automatically start going forward and heading through the course. It’s your job to keep it balance and keep it from becoming beat up as it goes over jumps and ledges. You have two arrows to tilt your car if needed. One to the back and one to the front. I’ve always been using the one to the back to do wheelies, flips, and level out the car for perfect landings. The better you land the faster you start going, and you get points for a perfect landing. You also have in the bottom right a nitro button, that when it starts glowing is ready for use. Just tap it and off you go with your nitros burning. Also along the bottom is the health of your car, another reason to land right and not run into things. Along the track are ledges and old beat up cars that as a monster truck you must run over! They hurt your car if you don’t use the arrows to move over them. The last thing on the bottom of your screen is the brake button, something I’ve never used and suggest you don’t either haha. On the top you have your clock and a speed meter to help show you the momentum you are gaining by doing stunts, and landing them right. The faster you go the quicker you will get through the course and earn more points and unlock more cars. You also have a pause button in the top right as well. Here are some shots of it in action.
All in all you can’t go wrong with downloading or buying this game. I’ve actually been playing it and getting distracted as I try and review it. It’s highly recommended so go experience a fun game then get back to me on what you think about it. Is the free game plenty for you, or did you go buy the premium version? Here is my video review below, again leave me a comment with your opinion I’m interested! Thank you for reading and please enjoy.
