![]() Your selection of vehicle does affect the gameplay, though. The differences in characters is entirely cosmetic and has no effect on the gameplay. The only difference between the two characters is that Brog is a caveman and Grag is a cavewoman. I just wanted to get all of that out of the way before delving into the actual game itself.Ĭro-Mag Rally starts in the Stone Age and gives players a choice of driving as either Brog or Grag. Due to my ineptitude with kart racers, Cro-Mag Rally isn’t going to be a game I’ll return to, but that is entirely independent of the merits of the game itself. I suspect my wins were thanks more to the game’s AI being forgiving and doing a little rubber banding to keep the other racers from outpacing me than to my own racing skills. And yet, somehow, I’ve managed to win a couple of races even after massively borking my laps. It feels like I spend more time crashing into walls and going the wrong way on the tracks than I do actually driving competitively. It was with some trepidation, then, that I saw the new Windows Phone 7 game for this week is Cro-Mag Rally, a caveman kart racer that originally released on the iPhone in 2008.Īs it turns out, my trepidation was entirely founded, because I am terrible at playing this game. ![]() As soon as I start having to make breakneck turns while chucking blue turtle shells at the other racers, my hand-eye coordination goes out the window, and I’m demolished. I just can’t wrap my head around the zipping and zooming insanity of kart racers that require more of me than just staying ahead of the competition. Racing has always been one of my favorite game genres… and then came Mario Kart. ![]() I’m a huge fan of regular racers, having plowed through countless Need for Speed and Burnout titles, as well as having spent an adequate amount of time in various Forzas and Project Gothams. Before I jump into my review of this week’s new Xbox Live game release on the Windows Phone 7, I must preface with a note about my personal history with kart racing games. ![]()
