Does anyone remember the PC video game Ignition? It’s a bird’s-eye-view racing title that was released back in 1997, and now there’s a brand new game in the Android Market that looks a bit similar to Ignition: Reckless Racing. It was previously known as Deliverance, and the game is developed by Swedish company pixelbite, who also created the superb Raging Thunder 2.
Reckless Racing costs $2.99, and according to pixelbite, it features “the prettiest graphics, coolest physics and dirtiest powerslides ever seen on a handheld device.” Judging from the demo videos below, pixelbite may have a point with those bold claims. Polarbit, the company that releases Reckless Racing, has also made a funny and slightly unorthodox announcement:
| “Here at Polarbit, we care deeply about the gaming community and would like to take this opportunity to say: whatever you do, do NOT go into Android Market or the iTunes AppStore right now and purchase the newly released top-down racer Reckless Racing.
It’s highly addictive and has been known to hook players in mere seconds, leaving them lifelong addicts to the intense old-school racing gameplay, the graphics – among the most beautiful ever seen on a handheld device – and the rich community and multiplayer features. For the love of God, do not watch this video of the game in action:” |

This game isn't appearing on the marketplace for me just yet. Droid Incredible.
I am having the same problem not seeing the app in the market, I have the orignal driod.
it actually seemed to dissapear for a while. I see that its back now but your mileage may vary with this game…i still have yet to get it to actually start. My recent post Apad review
Works great on rooted Evo. Takes a good 20-30 min download to SD after initial app download. Make sure you're on wifi. Well worth it. Great graphics and for some reason, controls came naturally to me. One complaint. The videos show different replay angles but there is no replay camera in the actual game. Hope they add that in later. Finally starting to get some quality games on android!
Does anyone know why this app isn't available? It looks like fun.
