After 15 years of using Nokia devices I thought it was about time to say what I think but trying not to be too serious about this. For instance my two Maine coons Del and Rodney have some very important things to say so I thought it necessary to include them.

GT Racing: Motor Academy HD on the Nokia N8 - A quick Purrview

















Oh poor daddy, his credit card continues to get hit. But what is a few euros compared to two happy pussy cats? This time it is another driving game and it's huge. Well I say huge but it's nothing compared to Del my brother (He is 8.5kg or nearly 19lbs) . However we have played a lot of games on Nokia devices and we have never seen one weigh in at 155.5Mb. So was the hefty download worth it? First impressions, OH YES!!!

There are two modes of play, career and arcade.











The control system is very good although Need for Speed: Shift is slightly more realistic where steering is concerned. There are settings to help with brake assist and traction control dependent upon your level of skill. We set ours to Novice to start with (well we are pussy cats after all). You get an onscreen accelerator and brake pedal that are very responsive. All in all, a great system and probably very challenging so even the more accomplished of drivers (those with hands rather than paws) will find the game a challenge.












As you would imagine there are numerous cars to choose from of all shapes and sizes. You also get to choose by manufacturer. A nice touch. Here are the manufacturers and a few of the cars. THERE ARE LOADS!!!






























We don't want to spoil it for you so we have not posted pics of all the cars. Well, to be honest, we wanted to - but Daddy told us off. So, after a bit of sulking, we agreed only to post these. PS, we posted the rest to Daddy's flickr account so go have a look. One very special car!!!

This is just a quick purrview so we will not say anymore about the game except go get it yourself and its a bargain at only 3 euros!! Have fun.
