PixiRacer is one of the most addicting top-down car racing games I have ever played. One of the truly unique features of this game is its accelerometer controls, which allow you to intuitively drive the car. For example, to move the car left, you tilt the iPhone to the left, and to move the car right ... well, you get the idea.

As you drive, you encounter many obstacles on the road that are composed of rectangular blocks. The key is to avoid them as hitting them will kill you. Thankfully there are also many power-ups all over the road, and driving over them gives you many special abilities, such as temporary invincibility or an ability to slow down. The objective in the game is to cover as many miles as possible. Mzl

I really enjoyed playing PixiRacer because of its replay value and unpredictability. The game graphics are simple, but that does not deter from the overall experience. It is possible that the developer will in due time make additional game elements available as PixiRacer has a lot of potential due to its catchy game design and terrific controls You can also capture your high score and post it on Facebook.

PixiRacer is an addictive iPhone game, and with a price tag of only 99 cents, it is worth every penny.

I have been addicted to gaming since I played Pong for the first time when I was six years old. In the meantime, I have played thousands of games (all possible genres) on various systems from Atari 7800 and ZX Spectrum to Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500, PCs (Intel 8086 to the latest Intel and AMD chipsets), all Nintendo systems, all Sony Playstation systems, all Sega systems and finally Microsoft's XBox. Aside from gaming, I love to read (sci-fi, military history, politics, mysteries, puzzles...) and love to play chess which I do on a daily basis...
