Mantis Burn Racing is a top down, ode to the past style racer that reminds us greatly of the micro machines era, Matt Cram from BLOT reviews.
TTP: If you have been playing video games for a very long time, there’s a good chance you remember the Micro Machines racing games. These fun arcade games managed to capture the spirit of the Micro Machines, offerring an incredibly fun and exciting experience. Earlier this year Codemasters and Chillingo have confirmed that a new entry of the series was going to be released this year on the App Store and it seems like we are indeed getting closer to release, as the new Micro Machines has been soft launched on the App Store in Singapore.
Its a really good game :)
Seems odd to make it for mobiles, games like this really need physical buttons and a control stick.
