![]() ![]() You navigate your car via the cell phone accelerometer (sadly, there is no on-screen steering wheel) and turn on/off the speed acceleration with screen buttons. ![]() There are five separate single player modes, but the best thing is the game actually supports multiplayer over local networks and the Internet and it doesn´t even matter whether your opponents use an Android handset or the iPhone/iPod touch (yes, there is a version for Apple-made devices). You will be able to relish extremely pleasing graphics and get yourself various and above all, upgradable cars. Now, however, let´s leave the future be and focus on the present instead, the time when Polorbit releases Raging Thunder 2 – a new version of the arcade-style racing game that offers more something of everything. We must say we have great expectations relating to the future of Android as a gaming platform. We hope the recent integration of OpenGL ES 2.0 support into Android is going to change the sad reality and we will get to see an increasing number of more and more spectacular games. Yes, sad as it is, almost all available games for Android are nothing more than versions of painfully well-known logic puzzles, while at the same time most of the games in the Arcade & Action category are, to put it mildly, of rather poor quality. Founded in 2005, Polarbit is a private company based in Sweden.Raging Thunder is one of the (far too) few games at Android Marketplace that offer more elaborate graphics and complex gameplay. Their proprietary middleware platform, Fuse, is used around the world by mobile developers looking for high-end 3D graphics, online excellence and cross-platform compatibility. Polarbit also develops original games including the original Raging Thunder, ToonWarz, Armageddon Squadron, Iron Sight and others. They have developed acclaimed licensed IP for mobile platforms including Krazy Kart Racing, FIFA 10, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, Spore, Indy 500, Tiger Woods 07 and SSX. About Polarbit Polarbit is a leading developer of high-end 3D games and middleware for the mobile and handheld markets worldwide. You can download Raging Thunder 2 for Android phones from the Android Market. Download the game for iPhone and iPod Touch here:, and iPad here. Regularly priced at $4.99, you can purchase Raging Thunder 2 from the iTunes App Store for the next two weeks at a discounted price of $2.99. The latest Raging Thunder 2 also allows users to customize their driving experience for more control of the car using the touch screen instead of the motion sensors (adjustable in game options). Like the game itself, the leaderboards were designed in a cross-platform format so that competition can continue between iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android users. Racers will also be able to virtually challenge their competition with the new ability to download ghost races from the leaderboards. With the new upgrade, users can upload their best times and achievements (longest jump, highest speed) for each track to online leaderboards and view them by week, month, or all-time. In addition to competing directly against other players in online races, users will now be able to compete with racers globally through the use of global, online high score lists. ![]()
