A press release earlier today announced that well-knowndownhill racer Steve Peat would be lending his name to the world’s first DH mountain bike racing game for the iPhone family of gadgets. The game is reported to feature real life racers and courses from around the world. According to the UK developer, Apposing, the game will launch in early June, conveniently around the time of the 2010 UCI DH World Cup in Scotland, which takes place June 5th and 6th.
Steve Peat commented on the game saying that “we are confident that this game will raise the bar within the extreme sports genre.” Based on my experience, there’s not much of a bar to be raised. The lastdecent mountain bikingvideo game was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, so currently there’s not a lot of competition in the market. I get the feeling that this game will be a hit.
Most “nice” iPhone games cost about five bucks. At that rate, would any of you consider buying this?
