Default Stuntcar Extreme Drives You Crazy!

http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/...0&productType=2

"Driving with style, Stuntcar Extreme delivers a unique, fast-paced stunt racing experience in early 80's retro funk flavor. Race against opponents, unlock new tracks and new stunt cars and become the Stunt Champion! This is the most extreme form of racing, and only the best of the best, or the craziest of the crazy, participate in the ruthless duels on the dangerous tracks."



Fathammer have just released Stuntcar Extreme - an intense driving game which looks sure to adequately kill any spare time you may have on your hands. It is available from the Pocket PC Thoughts store for $19.95.

Wow, the video looks really great but there's no way I'm dropping $20 on a game for Pocket PC without trying a demo first.

Got this as a freebie with the X50v.

Nice but I wouldn't buy it.

I did. I'm an idiot!

I can only hope this was a terrible fluke, but I had to do a system restore on my desktop to get Activesync to work again, and that was after trying to reinstalling Activesync, and not being able to because of messages about this game. On my device I had to manually remove the folders. I installed it to my storage card but it seemed to have placed over 3mb in main memory. I also had to go into the registery to remove it's ugly existence, because even after removing the folders, on every reset I was getting annoying messages. AAArrrggg...I'm a sucker for racing games.

How does it work? I have GeoPod which uses the same X-Forge engine (even developed by the same company - Vasara). The gameplay from the video looks terribly similar (down to the GUI).

I enjoyed GeoPod while it lasted (too easy, not many tracks and choices).

The graphics are better than geopods.

On the right of the screen, there are 3 buttons. Nitro, forward, and reverse. You control the car with the dpad. (only left and right)

Thats basically it The game is quite addictive.

Anybody here know's what its like getting refund from Handango or Pocket Gear?

Since there is no trial version I hope I could get a refund if the game is not as great as it seems.
