SuperCars (2) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Cars)? Does it ring a bell? Gangsta Race (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/052006MIPSGames.asp)? Dreamway (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1393&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1)? Ever wanted to play something like them – but something MUCH better, with freaking good visuals, sound effects, animation, in-game music, incredibly good controls and, last but definitely not least, multiplayer?

I’ve often reported on (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?s=k-rally&sentence=AND) the current state of the K-Rally project. Thanks to the excellent folks at Infinite Dreams, who provided me a pre-release beta version of the Pocket PC version of this EXCELLENT racing game, I’ve been playing this title for a week (played it almost entirely through) and am absolutely astonished.

I don’t think I exaggerate when I state K-Rally is by far the best game released (or a game that will be released – I don’t know when it will be released for the Pocket PC; hope really soon, which means either minutes, hours or 1-2 days – dunno exactly when) in 2006. Yeah, SkyForce Reloaded, the best top-down shooter for the Pocket PC, is a very close second (and there have been some other outstanding titles too; for example, Enslave), but I’d say K-Rally is even better, particularly when played in multiplayer.

Unfortunately, there’s still no Pocket PC version out (albeit the one I’ve played is very-very good and could be safely released as the final one – it all, of course, depends on the iDreams folks), only for Symbian S60 and S60 version 3. However, if you do/also own smart phones running these operating systems, make sure you visit THIS (http://idreams.pl/product.php?idProduct=5) and purchase the game. (There’s no trial version, but you can take my word: it’s really worth the $14.98, it’s so damn good.)

Expect a VERY thorough review as soon as the Pocket PC version is released :) In the meantime, you may want to pay a visit to the homepage of the game (http://idreams.pl/product.php?idProduct=5) and, for example, check out the just-posted manual (http://files.idreams.pl/KRally/krally_manual_ver_1.00.pdf) and the online high-score board (http://www.idreams.pl/krally/highscores/records.php).

BEST GAME OF 2006, K-RALLY, IS FINALLY OUT FOR THE POCKET PC!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, now that I’ve posted several news items on it in the last few months (the last one (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=best_game_of_2006_k_rally_out_for_symbia&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) some 2-3 hours ago), you probably know what K-Rally is about. It's the BEST top-view racing game ever released for the Pocket PC.

It’s available for purchase at ClickGamer (http://clickgamer.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=7159&section=PPC) and Handango (http://idreams.pl/buy.php?idProduct=5&idPlatform=2).

Expect my full review later today or early tomorrow (not right now – sorry, just going to the sauna and, then, to a concert.)
