There are a number of racing games available on the App Store, but 4×4 Jam offers more game play and various modes that make it stand above the rest. There are the usual race modes, but what makes this different is the openness of getting from A to B. The track is wide open and instead of being forced along a designated path, you decide how to get there.
In terms of play modes, the game offers standard racing, Jam and open world. I have to say I am enjoying jam and the open world driving the most over the actual racing game. Jam sets up way-points and the goal is to race to and cross these way-points before the other racers. Get there first and the way-point is moved and you’re off again. This is done until a racer get’s the most way-points to win a race.
The open world is truly amazing for such a portable device. You can literally drive around forever and not be stopped. It’s fun to discover new areas with hills and valley’s to jump off and into. The only minor quibble is the fact that the landscape could use some more detail. There are hills, trees and brush to drive through, but maybe some other objects to interact with could be added in the future.
As mentioned, the graphics are outstanding. The vehicles all are well modeled and things are pretty smooth even on my 1st Gen iPod Touch. I imagine on newer devices, everything is perfectly smooth.
The physics in the game is also worth mentioning. Cars collide and interact with each other to cause roll-overs and other mayhem.
Overall a VERY satisfying and fun game to play that offers some variety to the standard racing genre.
