Los mejores juegos de carreras para Android

Desde Gizmodo, este “medio post” (Porque el original es compartido con el ranking para IPhone), sobre uno de los rubros más populares para dispositivos de entretenimiento movil :)

GOLD MEDAL: Asphalt 5

As far as Android racing games go, Asphalt 5 is the pace setter. The 3D graphics are stellar and the gameplay is action packed (though sound is screechy). Asphalt 5 is geared more towards the arcade racer (think Ridge Racer) than simulation racing but you still get three very accurate control options: accelerometer, wheel or tapping the screen. The game can only run on higher end Android phones (think Nexus One and above), so you might have to think twice about the purchase but if you have a good Android phone, the replay value of Asphalt 5 is amazing: there's a career mode to collect money and trophies, various challenges and games-in-games, and each car (and there are over 30) can be customized with engine upgrades, paint jobs and decals (feels good to pimp yo ride). $4.99, Android.

SILVER MEDAL: Need For Speed: Shift

Honestly, Need for Speed: Shift is a gold medal driving game. The rich graphics and buttery smooth gameplay is arguably better than Asphalt 5. However! NFS:Shift isn't readily available for all Android phones in the Android Market (it only comes pre-installed on certain phones) which is terribly unfortunate for racing fans. $9.99, Android.

BRONZE MEDAL: Raging Thunder 2

The 3D graphics aren't as good as Asphalt 5 and gameplay can lag a bit but it does offer online multiplayer mode and a fast-paced, arcade style gameplay that's either fun as hell or a little bit tacky, depending on how you see things. $4.99, Android.

OTHERS TESTED:
• Speed Forge 3D: A 3D jet racing game that's limited because it only has 3 vehicles and 6 tracks. $2.77
• Xrace Beta: Simple and free racing game but has unimpressive graphics and only works with Android phones with a keyboard. Free
• Light Racer 3D: A Tron styled, motorcycle racing game that can be played multiplayer over Wi-Fi. Free or $2.99
• Craigs Race: Basic 2D racing game that's fun the first time, but then gets less and less enjoyable the more you play it. Free.
• Pocket Racing: Topdown 2D racing game that's surprisingly impressive (to a point). Comes with 5 cars and 8 tracks. $1.56
