Take to the Sky with Breitling Reno Air Races for iOS
San Francisco, USA & Paris, France, June 20, in the year
of our Lord 2011- Breitling, one of the major sponsors
of National Championship Air Races in Reno and a manufacturer of
several high-tech watches, has announced the availability of a
FREE flight-oriented game for iPad and iPhone devices called
Breitling Reno Air Races.
Based on a real life racing event that is set to take place from
September 14-18 in Reno, Nevada this year, Breitling Reno Air
Races puts players right into the thick of the action. The game
gives you the option to take the helm of an airplane of your
choice, flying through various courses and challenging your
friends through the awesome multiplayer component, proving that
you are indeed one of the best pilots out there.
Breitling Reno Air Races features breathtaking 3-D graphics,
faithfully recreating the 3-D atmosphere of the racing arenas so
you really feel like you're in the thick of the flying action.
It also features gyroscopic controls, with some tactical
elements included, so you can man your flight vehicles in the
same manner as the dedicated pilots. The game features three
modes to choose from, including a Quick Play option (where you
can choose from multiple courses), a career-oriented Air Races,
and Multiplayer, where you can challenge your friends in Wi-Fi
or 3G-propelled races. You can also customize your jet any way
you please, with various colors and parts available.
The number of flyable aircraft in Breitling Reno Air Races is
absolutely staggering, starting with the Ultimate fighter
aircraft from the World War II era, eventually leading into the
more modern T6 class, considered the best of the bunch when it
comes to high speed aerial racing.
Newcomer pilots should have no trouble getting into the game,
thanks to a helpful tutorial system that teaches you the basics
of flight, as well as how to get the advantage over your
opponents. You can also keep track of your progress through
unlockable Achievements through both OpenFeint and Apple's own
GameCenter, so you can show your friends just how well you're
doing in the field.
"This is one game that's easy to get hooked on." said Vincent
Dondaine COO of BulkyPix. "This is authentic as flying games
get, and the fact that so much is available for such a little
price is unbelievable. You'll have a hard time prying yourself
from it!"
