The day has finally come, a racing game that utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer. Raging Thunder is available now for download via Installer, and while it is in it’s early stages, the game is looking very promising. Not only does it use the accelerometer to control the game, but there are several methods of play available as well.

For whatever reason, you can not play the game with the iPhone tilted horizontally. It is not as whether it is impossible to play whether it has to be vertical, it just seems that it would be much easier whether you could tilt the iPhone, and play while it is on its

side. The controls are very sensitive, it does not take much of a tilt to slam your car into the side rail. It plus appears that there is no way to control the amount of gas, at least that I could see from the video.

The game is absolutely packed with bugs. Just during the short video demo, there were multiple freezes. additionally, the screen lost responsiveness at least twice. Though there are some issues and annoyances to take care of, that game looks like quite some fun, and hopefully is prepared for a more complete release soon.
