After Powerboat Challenge™ did a whopping 93% score at Airgamer, the leading German mobile games online magazine, our latest mobile racing game also rocked at Mobile Games FAQs with a final score of 94% and a top score of 95% in graphics. The mobile games tester Anannya Sen comments about the mobile game:

“When you first load up the game you will probably notice the stunning graphics. I don’t know how Fishlabs manage to do it, but they really push the capabilities of each handset. On my K800i the graphics were stunning 3D rendered polygons of powerboats, marshes and lakes. The water effects are lovely, as are the lighting effects. This includes reflection and even lens flare and at times I had to remind myself that this was a mobile game.”

The review is quite long and enthusiastic. It describes a variety of positive aspects of the game in detail. Anannya’s final conclusion puts it straight:

„I couldn’t put this game down. Day or night I was wanting to have a quick go, either to get a gold medal whereas previously I had got silver, or to increase my style points on a race I had already won. It was that much fun to play and after completing it with one character, you can play through the game again to upgrade another character. In most games this wouldn’t be too much fun having played the game so much already, but with the stylishness and addictiveness of this game, I am seriously considering doing just that.”

And here are the scores of each category – all above 90%!

Fishlabs has done it again and brought home yet another Airgamer award, this time with Powerboat Challenge™.

Dominik Hirsch, mobile phone game tester at Airgamer summarises:

‘Exclusively good marks are rare, but Fishlabs has earned this. The graphics set a new (Java) standard for mobile phones. This is primarily due to the very authentic water depiction and the brilliant feeling of speed. But even in scope and variety, the watery frenzy never compromises, and the style system, boosts, and upgrades will give you the need for speed and gaming!

There’s power in there!’

We have nothing to add to that and would like to thank the folks at Airgamer for this terrific evaluation. You can read the complete test at the following link:
