Game Review: Reckless Racing By Polarbit

We all love games on our phones. They help kill the time when on the bus or at work. They give us something to while laying bed and can’t sleep. A continuing increase in good quality games coming to Android Â has slowed the out cry slightly. We still need a lot more though. Angry Birds has taken the top spot in my opinion with a a handful of other titles falling in line. Polarbit released their racing game about 20 days ago. Reckless Racing reminds me of Indy 500 and Galaxy 5000 in the old school Nintendo days but with way better graphics.

You have 6 different cars to choose from. In true redneck style you have a semi truck, pick up and muscle car.

We also have 3 different single play modes.

Dirt Rally: Where you race the 5 other people around the different tracks and the goal is to be first of course.
Hot Lap: Where you compete against your own ghost car to gain the fastest lap time.
Delivery: You grab a package in your car and deliver it to another location on the map. This is timed and the delivery price decreases as you are driving. So go fast.

You also have 5 seperate control styles. Which adds to the game play in my opinion. Some people prefer on screen while others prefer to tilt their phone. This game gives you the option to choose. You can also set the sensitivity to your liking.

There is also an online Multiplayer option as well. With chat option and multiple rooms to get you up and running against real people instead of the computer. Just set up a user account and away you go. A lot more fun sometimes to race a real person.

The graphics are amazing and very smooth on my Samsung Vibrant. Of course showing a screen shot during game play results in a stutter in the image. So I found this video of the game for you to take a gander at.

As you can see the quality of this game is amazing. here is the official word from the market :

THE DIRT-ROAD RACER YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Reckless Racing combines the finest in traditional top-down racing gameplay with state-of-the-art graphic environments. Skid, slip, and slide with precision controls, and challenge friends in online multiplayer modes. Hold on tight and get ready to go! Yeehaw!

The game is available for $2.99 and is well worth the purchase.
