Visit: www.ilandcars.comiLand cars is an extremely fun racing/roaming game. The first thing I noticed about this game upon trying it out is that the controls are seamless. It's not one of those racing games where you will be trying for an hour to figure out how to move smoothly at all. The car is controlled by tilting the iPhone device; however, it's not as easy as Pole Position. There's actually a little skill involved - which frankly, I like better. You have an accelerator on the bottom left side of the screen and a reverse button on the bottom right. These buttons must be pushed at all times in order to make the car move.
iLandCars, is a 3D roaming racing game. It transports a player to memorable islands. When exploring these islands a player must collect relic stars to progress from island to island while firing missiles to destroy targets for bonus points. A player races against the clock to obtain all the stars. Use the environment including ramps, jumps, seesaws and obstacles to bust-out crazy flips, spins and twist for extra bonus points! Post your scores up and compete against yourself and your closest friends!

Collect all of the level's stars in order to progess. There are also things that can be done to collect bonus points - Shooting arrows at targets (just tap the screen to shoot!), doing flips, etc. There are 4 stages to complete, 3 of which must be unlocked. There are also four car options given at the start, 3 of which must be unlocked. High scores are local, with no global integration, unfortunately. The graphics are fantastic, however, and the controls are beautifully executed - both of which more than make up for this fact. The only issue I see this game having is it's price point; when games like Metal Gear Solid can be purchased for $2.99, it's hard to sell a new developer's game for the same cost. I'd suggest a markdown to $1.99, or even 99cents (temporarily) to gain some momentum.
Overall impression: 9/10
