Polarbit makes Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D for the iPhone


Of all the racers we've seen for the iPhone so far (and there are quite a few), this might be the one I'm most interested in -- Polarbit, who've already dipped into the iPhone's racing game capabilities with Raging Thunder, is working on a Crash Bandicoot-branded kart racing game for the iPhone (video here). And it sounds like it's got everything you'd want in a kart racing game on a console, much less on a smartphone platform -- twelve tracks, lots of characters, lots of weapons and powerups, and configurable controls. There are going to be a ton of racing games out when the App Store drops, but something silly and fun like this, crafted by a developer who knows their way around the fledgling platform, will probably be very near the top of the list.

Can't wait to play it. No exact word on when Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D is coming, but it can't be too late after the App Store releases, and we'd guess $10 for a price, since that's what most of these things will be going for. Definitely looks like it might be a standout among the plethora of accelerometer racing games we'll be sure to have.

Hey, I alerted you guys to this waaaaay back when they first talked about raging thunder through the contact us system. They have supported platforms underneath all of the apps on their site, and iPhone was available on this one. Just food for thought.

Can't be the original Crash Team Racing though...
Wish we'd see a NaughtyDog port of that.

I'd love to see a NaughtyDog port of Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3.

Not gonna happen though.

Yeah, I loved Crash Team Racing. Hopefully this will be just as fun.

What's nicest about this is it appears that you can hold the phone at a good viewing angle and still control it. Not so with ahMaze.

nice way to score some $$
basically just changed the look of the raging thunder game, im sure the engine they use was easy to adapt it to look like crash bandicoot.
