Based on the street racing subculture, the game involves racing over rooftops, performing spectacular jumps, and smashing through traffic in the pursuit of winning the ultimate performance supercar. Features include:<br /> <br /><li> Full screen 3D graphics.<br /><li>Proper physics engine with rigid body dynamics and accurate collision detection.<br /><li>9 different vehicles each with their own unique handling<br />characteristics.<br /><li>Ability to perform handbrake turns and lurid powerslides, complete with skidmarks, suspension, tyresmoke, brakelights, etc.<br /><li>Over 32 races and challenges.<br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/streetduel_half.gif" /> <br /><br />So, the game certainly looks decent and there's a demo available for you perusal. Just remember not to get sucked into the dark street racing subculture while playing it. :wink: PDArchade got hold of an early copy of the game and have a fair sized preview up <a href="http://www.pdarcade.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=117">at their site.</a> Overall, they do seem to like it. So, worth a download then?<br /><br /><i>"The team at Pixelogic has clearly applied their expertise in programming as well as artwork gained from developing top console games onto the Pocket PC. They have also managed to operate nicely within Pocket PC limitations for instance, the whole game takes less than 3mb of storage space, miles less than many of the other 3D pocket pc games. The result of Pixelogic's work, from my perspective, is a game, which should dazzle the owners of Pocket PCs, in terms of graphics, gameplay and *fun factor*"</i>
