Raging Thunder in the App Store

We've come full circle on the Thunder that Rages -- after first releasing their game on a jailbroken iPhone, and then switching off to do a Crash Kart game, developer Polarbit has now brought it out onto the official store for release. It rings in at a relatively pricey $7.99, but it does look terrific with a little physics built in and (and here's the kicker) features WiFi multiplayer (Polarbit said they were working on it in our interview with them a while back). Multiplayer is one place that iPhone games haven't quite reached their potential yet, and if Raging Thunder delivers as nice a multiplayer experience as it claims to, it's worth the price of admission.

Once again, this is a title that could definitely use a demo, but if you're already sold, you know the drill: hit up the App Store, download away, and use the accelerometer to race off into the Raging Thunder.

The "one place?" How about multi-touch? There aren't any games specifically designed to take advantage of multi-touch. Somewhere out there is a killer game concept that could only be played on a multi-touch screen but I haven't seen it yet.

I used to have a beta version of this on my jailbroken 1.1.4 and I was looking for it when I upgraded. Now I know why I couldnt find it again!

The game (Atleast when I had it) had limited features and could only be controlled via the acclerometer. It may have changed now but I have Asphalt 4 now and I love it

This game rocks, smooth framerate, fast paced arcade and nice graphics, overall a great game but ofcourse I couldnt expect less having developed Crash Bandicoot :) I've bought most of the racing games on my iphone but this one is my favourite so far

Does anybody know how this stacks up to the recently released Asphalt 4?

How can a racing game can be so boring?

Cube runner entertained me longer.
