User Rating3.57/5Snow Rally City Stage, a 3D city racing game with the best 3D graphics on mobile devices offering breathtaking gaming experience and gorgeous city scenery. Full version available via Handango for $14.95.
Price: Free, $14.95
Snow Rally 3D City Stage Android Game features handheld racing through various Canadian cities; Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. Like most race car games you get to choose your car and course. Although one of the 1st race car games for Android, it came in lower than our expectations. I guess you could say we were spoiled by seeing the superior graphics and Accelerometer controlled race car iPhone games like Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D ($5.99), GTS World Racing ($7.99), or Cro-Mag Rally ($1.99) for a fraction of the price.
We can only assume Snow Rally 3D City Stage would be fun & addictive, but the short 1 minute demo free version in the Market was not enough to entice further interest. It seems to be a straight-forward race car game where the goal is to win and beat your high score. Unsure if there are extras; like upgrades of car and parts as you advance, ramp jumps, crash & burns or bonus levels.
The graphics are comparable to Play Station 1… OK but our expectations were stacked against the iPhone games we see in the commercials.
One of the more disappointing things with Snow Rally 3D City Stage is that it didn’t take advantage of the Accelerometer or tactile vibration (i.e. when hitting another car or wall). You control the car with the trackball or keys J K I M / A S W Z. And difficult to control the car too.
