inevitable. Our fans can now re-live this compelling tale in one
standalone package with 40-plus hours of battles, mysteries and
a delightful ensemble of characters.”
DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen lets mobile players

Touch Racing 2 shifts mobile racing up
a gear
LONDON: August 7, 2014: Marvelous Europe and Genera Mobile have
released Touch Racing 2 on iPhone and iPad, a fast and furious
arcade racer with extreme speed cars, off-road vehicles and
power boats - all the ingredients to fuel a mobile smash.
The sequel to 2010’s hit Touch Racing Nitro, the game is the
latest in the multi-title partnership between Marvelous and
Spanish group Genera Mobile, creators of the multi-million
downloaded RunBot and the mega-successful Disney Frozen Free
Fall.
Touch Racing 2’s refined and intuitive 'touch & drag' interface
is at the heart of a game anyone can learn in seconds, but with
the skill, depth and strategy to keep players speeding back for
more.
Starting as an unknown rookie in the ultra-competitive remote
controlled (R.C.) racing scene, players must race their way to
the top, perfecting their skills in a wide range of vehicles
along the way.
Tuning and customizing each vehicle is at the heart of Touch
Racing 2. Players can choose from 150 performance upgrades and
hundreds of customization options. Engines, spoilers, tires and
much more can be improved - and a plethora of custom paints and
neons let you make your ride your very own.
The single player experience is heavily intertwined with
competitive multiplayer action. Racing asynchronously with
Facebook friends or random opponents is a great way of earning
extra cash for upgrades, as well as showing off your ride in PvP
competitions - whether on water, off-road or on the asphalt.
"Touch Racing 2 fuses the best of modern-day smartphone racers
like CSR or Real Racing with arcade classics like Micro Machines
or Super Sprint," says Steven Tarry, Project Manager, Marvelous
Games. "We’ve worked really hard to create what we think is the
best and most natural racing game control system seen on a touch
screen to date. Touch Racing 2 gives players an immediate,
addictive and accessible experience, but is also fun, exciting
and rewarding to play... hopefully enough to keep people coming
back for more!"
“Creating Touch Racing 2 has been a great and rewarding
experience,” says Gonzalo Santos, Lead Programmer. “We set out
to create a game that we ourselves would enjoy as gamers -
something that can be played in bite sized portions but still
remains a challenge throughout. With Touch Racing 2 I think we
have achieved that goal, and hope players enjoy it as much as we
have.”
WARNING: This is a repeat pay to play
app.
