Powerboat Challenge

Hamburg, Germany, 04 November 08 – Powerboat Challenge™ has achieved spectacular ratings on leading mobile games magazines like Pocketgamer, Airgamer and Mobilegame FAQS. For iPhone™ owners the racing game now offers an even better full-throttle experience with fast powerboats, cool dudes, hot babes, and cheeky comments. The new version is uncompromising in terms of sound and graphics and uses the unbelievable computing power and enormous display of the iPhone™ to the full: four times higher texture resolutionand three times as many polygons than in the Java version make every detail crystal clear, accompanied by impressive realsound.

Along with the upgrades to the audio and graphics, the menus have also been adapted to the iPhone™ and optimised. One real bonus here is the analogue control via the accelerometer, which can be used to smoothly guide the boats across the water and around buoys in lap, time, or elimination races. Prize monies can be spent in the Tuning Shop for a faster motor, turbo drive, or chip tuning in order to improve your chances for victory. The new version, some 10 times larger than its predecessor, offers a gaming experience comparable to latest mobile gaming consoles.

‘The iPhone is the perfect gaming phone! Thanks to its computing power, enormous display, immense memory, and the sound options, our 3D games have plenty to work with,’ says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS. ‘The Apple App Store, with its attractive business model and the ability to actively market our games ourselves, make the iPhone a platform worth focusing on innovation and quality!’
