    This will be on my iPhone the second it comes out. I've waited to long for another kart racer since Crash. The iPhone is built for this type of game and I'm extremely happy that Gameloft is the one that's releasing it. Should be a winner!

    Yeah, i'm surprised its taken so long since Crash - especially considering how successful that game was - I remember reading that it sold close to 1m copies and hasn't ever dropped below $5.99!!!

    Lets hope either this or Konami's game betters that game with more content, better controls etc.

    Why must the music in these preview videos always be so terrible? It's always a horrible "rock and roll" sounding thing, but kinda simplified, as though it's for children, etc. It's always so lame and painful sounding, clearly the game maker's way of saying "hey here's some fun!!!!"

    I'm constantly pissed at how people use the word "Horrible" these days. Does anyone know what that word means? It shouldn't be used in this context. I think the word you're looking for is "drab" or "dull". I dunno. I'm just sick of constantly hearing and seeing that word. And why are you disturbed at the "Here have fun" type pitch. That's what this game is supposed to do. And given the fact that Shrek is childish, why shouldn't the music be childish?
    Do you have any better idea for a song?

    But whatever. I'm not really interested in the Mario Kart type games. I'm waiting for Asphalt.

    This has been submitted as said on their Twitter page :D! Looks fun and entertaining... Will feature multiplayer too, but maybe they meant someone near you.

    It will be Wifi. Gameloft is working on putting wifi servers for their games. It takes a while. It'll probably be released before they can even finish the server.

    Actually I'm not sure you understand the definition of the word.

    As per dictionary.com:

    1. causing or tending to cause horror; shockingly dreadful: a horrible sight.
    2. extremely unpleasant; deplorable; disgusting: horrible living conditions.

    Opinions being subjective, "horrible" perfectly describes the music in the trailer, for me anyhow. I don't find it dull or drab- I find it horrible.

    If you're going to be a definition Nazi, you should probably at least be correct about it.

    That kind of helps.

    I know exactly what the word means. I just had no idea why you'd find this song shockingly dreadful or disgusting. It's not "ear rape". I'm just sick of hearing and seeing that word when it just isn't needed. It may not be the best song, but it fits the content, and its definitely not "horrible".

    That's what I'm trying to say.. It's for kids. Well, some adults may enjoy this type of game, but it's not something I care for that much


    I don't mind that. Just the word "horrible". It sounds like something a little kid would say all the time. My little cousins say it a lot and it's just overly irritating! Besides, I hate that word! It's an onomatopoeia to me.
