Touch Devices & How Adventure Racing Could Be Played

By Rob Sutter


As someone who has played a multitude of games during his life, I will definitely support the claim that mobile gaming is most common. Whether people like to play on their Android devices or even on their iPods, the truth is that this method of play is convenient and people don't have to pour in many hours of commitment in order to enjoy. Something tells me that there are still untapped ideas that people can utilize. When you consider such ideas, though, adventure racing could be a fine subject.

Out of all of the mobile games that I have played, I like to think that the endless running ones are the most addictive. There's something enjoyable about wanting to best your own high score and show that you can do better and better with each run. You have to keep your eyes peeled and your fingers ready, though, since the level of intensity will only continue to rise. The instance of intensity is something that can carry over to many other forms of entertainment, too.

I think that when it comes to games with intense activity being seen, one cannot go wrong with adventure racing. Companies such as Spartan Race work well since there are many instances where people have to be able to show that they can withstand any situation. There's a level of challenge that cannot go unquestioned, since sporting events and the sort are going to be competitive. Add in instances of unpredictable weather and terrain and it almost seems like these games create themselves.

If you want to talk about frantic nature, I don't think that there are many titles that match up to "Jetpack Joyride." With so many obstacles to traverse and pickup items that can help enhance the experience, I think that there are a number of games that can stand to follow this kind of example. It can also help if there are added achievements, which are tasks people can complete for the sake of bragging rights. It's another aspect that people can become addicted to.

Mobile gaming is one of those hobbies that are done for a number of reasons. People may want to play games but sometimes the expensive nature of console titles can become a burden on many a wallet. This allows people to invest in cheaper titles which still possess a sense of addiction and anyone who plays them know that it's hard to put them down. Adventure racing is a subject that hasn't been in many titles and I think that has to change.
