    A fine addition to the "Flight Control" genre and the first I know of to have a mode that ENCOURAGES collisions! :D

    LordGek, I think you'll enjoy Car Mania. It's definitely much better than what you'd expect.

    All I need is good controls, clever scoring, multiple gameplay modes, and LOTS of randomization! :p

    It has all three. The controls are done pretty well and randomization and game modes are all there. The scoring is pretty simple, but you also need to meet certain scoring requirements to unlock other game modes and roads.

    Any sort of combos or some vehicles being worth different values to "park"?

    The way it works is that vehicles of certain colors must go to the destination with the same matching color. This applies to roads and buildings and if they don't, then your rage meter increases which is not a good thing.

    Ohh, that's cute, so you don't so much have a set number of "lives" more a dynamic and, I assume, slowly healing rage meter (with some actions more enraging than others, I'm sure), clever.

    you'll also have road construction pop up that you have to deal with, sometimes it will come up randomly, othertimes, if you have a car crash, then construction occurs at that point

    This has both local and online scoreboards via OpenFeint. You can thank the guys at Origin8.

    It was submitted to Apple for approval, it hasn't been approved yet.

    You're in the upcoming games section =P

    This should be out this week based on the speed Apple has been approving new games with non-questionable content.

    Well, I don't know, perhaps one of the cars is offensive.

    Well, one of the cars did look a little phallic, or maybe that was the train. :eek:

    That's it Albie, that means the game will be coming out sometime in early 2010.

    Don't jinx us :(

    ...Great, now I've got a horrendous Freudian inner monologue going on: 'See, how the player strokes the touchscreen, guiding the thrusting vehicle into the cavernous, womblike safety of the garage...' I hate you all :p

    This should go in the iTunes description...I'm sure it would help sales, that and a 17+ rating. :rolleyes:
