Bang Bang Racing THD

Bang Bang Racing THD, from the developer Playbox Games, is a really interesting take on a racing game and one that is specifically designed for NVIDIA Tegra devices. Unlike most racing games, where you are driving the car from the perspective of the driver, with Bang Bang Racing THD you control the cars from above (a bit like the old versions of Grand Theft Auto, or Micro Machines).The developers have really concentrated on the physics of this game (it uses NVIDIA PhysXtm technology) and it makes for some enjoyable gameplay. You’ve got the choice between three gaming modes, Standard, Championship and Time Trial, a range of different cars and 8 racing tracks, which are based on real-world locations.

To steer the cars, you can either drag the cars around the racetrack with your finger or, if you want something more realistic, you can use the in-built virtual joystick, which is quite tricky to get used to at first! It’s an enjoyable game, if not a little expensive, and works really well on tablets.
