FIVE GAMES TO SWERVE

A race to the bottom

FORZA STREET

Don’t be fooled by the Forza name, this drag racing mobile game is all about irritating you into spending money on imaginary petrol. Grim.

NASCAR HEAT 4

We’re not repulsed by oval racing like some, but NASCAR Heat 4 has none of the fine handling feel and race-long strategy of the real thing.

V-RALLY 4

How did the developer behind the excellent official WRC games get it so wrong? An uninspiring grab bag of vehicles dressed up in tryhard ‘extreme’ branding.

ONRUSH

An attempt to totally rewrite the racing game rulebook, which included baffling scoring systems and entirely abolishing finish lines.

NICKELODEON KART RACERS

Ropey Mario Kart rip off that doesn’t even bother with recorded voice lines from its cartoon stars. Not even the presence of Spongebob can save it.
