4×4 Jam (iPhone)
I just download 4×4 Jam as it’s on sale for £1.19 right now and it’s the closest thing to Fuel on the iPhone.
First impressions: It is impressively bouncy. Also, I think I like it.
There doesn’t seem to be any sort of career mode or progression or unlocking or anything of that sort. You just choose environment, vehicle, game type and difficulty and go play.
There are two environments.
There are at least two vehicles, but I didn’t bother checking for any more. (This is why my blog description specifically mentions that this is not a review site.)
I’ve only tried the Jam mode so far, which places a checkpoint gate somewhere on the map, which you have to drive through before your rivals. As soon as someone goes through a gate it disappears and another one appears. First to get through five gates wins. It’s good fun
Controls work well and the physics and handling are a bit odd, but not unappealing.
Overall, yeah, a nice little game, I think, based on about ten minutes of play.
