The day has finally come, a racing game that utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer. Raging Thunder is available now for download via Installer, and while it is in it’s early stages, the game is looking very promising. Not only does it use the accelerometer to control the game, but there are several methods of play available as well.
For whatever reason, you can not play the game with the iPhone tilted horizontally. It is not as if it is impossible to play if it has to be vertical, it just seems that it would be much easier if you could tilt the iPhone, and play while it is on its side. The controls are very sensitive, it does not take much of a tilt to slam your car into the side rail. It also appears that there is no way to control the amount of gas, at least that I could see from the video.
The game is absolutely packed with bugs. Just during the short video demo, there were multiple freezes. Also, the screen lost responsiveness at least twice. Though there are some issues and annoyances to take care of, this game looks like quite some fun, and hopefully is prepared for a more complete release soon.

While enterprise features such as Exchange support and VPN might make your company IT department tremble with excitement, the rest of us are slyly eyeing up the possibility of arcade-style gaming on the iPhone. Back at the roadmap event, Apple announced it had been working with SEGA to bring Super Monkey Ball to the handset, using the iPhone’s accelerometers to guide the simian around the track. GameCyte caught up with Ethan Einhorn, an associate producer at SEGA, to discuss the upcoming title as well as the future of so-called “casual gaming”.
Check out the video interview after the cut
Casual gaming is the description of titles with no steep learning curve or fifty-page instruction guide detailing which buttons do what. Instead, they’re intended to be “pick-up-and-play”, making them ideal for casual iPhone use. Of course, as Einhorn also points out, the relatively closed and controlled developing environment of the iPhone (and its PMP cousin) makes for straightforward coding: no software compatibility to worry about, since they’re uniform devices.
And what of the future? Can we expect to see Sonic, or any of the other SEGA characters blessing the iPhone and iPod Touch? Einhorn is cautious but enthused:
“Sega and Apple have a terrific relationship; we’ve had a lot of fun working on the Super Monkey Ball demo, and it would make sense to take the next natural step – but we haven’t announced anything at this time – We also are really excited to see what other Sega properties would make sense on that platform. So, there’s a lot of discussion, and I think fans are going to be very happy”Ethan Einhorn, Associate Producer, SEGA
