Dash Race Review (iOS)

Posted by Amy Baldry, 29 days ago

Take turns and race against friends is this modernized version of a classic paper game originally played on squared paper, using the most efficient and fastest race line to beat your opponents to the finish line.Dash race

You can play against friends in the apple game centre or over wifi connection as well as playing against the computer. With the choice of 10 different themed tracks to play on each offering their own chicanes and corners that all need to be handled appropriately according to how fast your going otherwise you may crash and end up losing a turn and in particular the race . If there are not enough tracks for you to choose you do have the option of buying more track packs in the app store.

From the Graphics it looks to me like this game could be aimed at the younger gamer but this shouldn’t put the more mature of us off as it is something that can be played by old and young alike. The music has a great acoustic feel to it but unfortunately not many sound effects which probably wouldn’t compliment the game anyway with engine sounds representing lines

The only thing I found hard to get to grips with was the controls as using one finger to try and choose your race line moves the camera around the track so holding the camera in place and then using another finger to determine your direction really does help. There is a training track so if you are new to this concept of game it will explain everything you need to know here and I myself found this very useful due to the game idea being very daunting but actually quite simple when you get used to it.

Once I did get used to the concept and the controls I did find this a very enjoyable game to play in the end, Its simple design and playability makes it a great addition to your library, and if there are not enough tracks for you to choose you do have the option of buying more track packs in the app store just for that extra variety.
