"Parcel Panic is a fun and fast paced driving game with tons of jumps, unlockables, great graphics (...)
Mad Processor's Parcel Panic – Post Car Racer 3D is really worth checking out."
[www.TouchArcade.com]
"To complement the slick and thoroughly addictive gameplay, Parcel Panic boasts some truly sumptuous visuals."
[www.PocketGamer.com]
"Parcel Panic is such an attractive game. Not only is the town nicely built, but it is draped with sharp textures and lots of bright color. The game runs without a hitch; I never encountered any chugging while screaming around the town. This is really some well done 3D for the iPhone and other developers should take note of its smoothness and cleanliness."
[wireless.ign.com]
To me Parcel Panic is the best racing game of 2009 beating all other wheeled competition over the head with basic arcade fun. Highly recommended, and a definite Editor’s Choice from me.

Jet Car Stunts
Platform:
iOS
November 13, 2009
Jet Car Stunts is a fun, over the top, 3D driving game, with massive jumps, mid-air hoops, floating platforms, spiral roadways, outlandish maneuvers and impossible environments.
**** MODES OF PLAY ****
The game features two play modes:
* Platforming - the player maneuvers the car from roadway to roadway, performing connecting stunts to reach the finish line.
* Time Trails - the player races around stunt-filled circuits to beat the lap records.
Each mode of play is packed full of level content, increasing in difficulty, through 25 Platforming levels and 11 Time Trail levels. There is enough content for long, lasting game play.
**** CONTROLLABILITY ****
The car handling has been designed from the ground up for the accelerometer. The controls are easy, precise and fun. So much so that the player can hug the edge of a corner, using a jet assisted power-slide, and still feel perfectly in control. The car also features mid-air flight controls, allowing the player to nudge the angle of flight and adjust speed with air-braking. It feels very natural to play and we believe it to be the best driving experience on the iPhone to date.
**** CONNECTIVITY ****
Jet Car Stunts uses OpenFeint for community/leader board options. So let's see who are the best players in the world, we dare you!

The Eliminator game mode allows you to release all that pent-up aggression as you use the full arsenal of Wipeout weaponry to destroy your opponents. Forget those racing lines; this is all about destruction, with the victor being the first to reach the target score. Zone Battle is about risk and reward. Acceleration is automatic as you swoop over zone pads to fill your zone bar. Your choice is whether to use the bar to increase your speed and boost your ship ever closer to the target zone or absorb it to replenish vital lost energy. Warning, avoid the ‘zone barriers’, obstacles left on the track by your opponents as they boost towards the target zone, hitting these can literally destroy your hopes of victory. Detonator mode introduces a brand new ship model to the game that tests both your piloting skills and your shooting accuracy as you accelerate through as many as 14 stages. Score points by destroying the mines that have been strewn along the track and take out the bomb on each stage to earn additional points. The more accurate you are the more points and bonuses you will score. [SCEA]
