GamePro Arcade

With an array of new iPhone games appearing each day, Cro-Mag Rally attempts to speed ahead of its competition with its fast paced driving gameplay.

Racing consists of a standard four-player, three-lap race around the track. An impressive nine courses are available, ranging from a desert to a medieval setting. Instead of moving forward and reverse by tilting the iPhone, the user needs to press on a forward/reverse button throughout the race. Ten cart racers are available from the start with different strengths for each. Pickups similar to what are found in Mario Kart are placed throughout the levels.

The biggest issue with Cro-Mag Rally is the lack of any progression. Everything is unlocked from the start and there are no stats compiled. Developer Pangea Software designed this as the ultimate pick up and play experience.

Controlling your character is a bit of a chore. The game is extremely sensitive to even the slightest movement; however there are options to change the sensitivity. Cro-Mag Rally's graphics are nothing special but get the job done for the handheld experience. However, heavy pop in occurs, especially when using a speed boost.

The price has recently been lowered from $10 to $6, which makes this shallow, yet fun, title easier to recommend to on-the-go gamers.

Cons: Controls are sensitive, no progression from game to game
