Overall Feeling:
Simple, fast, and incredibly effective, Switch Galaxy is a thoroughly fun entry to the PlayStation Mobile library since it has a premise that is perfect for short gameplay bursts. Easy to control yet filled with depth due to the way tracks are presented, Atomicom has done a wonderful job at doing something different within the arcade racing genre and in turn have delivered one of the must-own games for the PlayStation Mobile platform.
The Pros:
+ Gameplay is tight, fast, and fun.
+ Music has a nice collection of subdued yet futuristic sounding buttery beats.
+ A surprising amount of depth is provided thanks to tracks with multiple paths to take and ship upgrades to acquire.
+ Visuals are consistent and look incredibly smooth.
The Cons:
- Art direction could’ve used some more variety.
A new old-school arcade inspired racing game has arrived on the PlayStation Mobile service which thankfully isn’t mediocre or almost perfect – instead it’s simply addicting. Developed by the team at Atomicom, which comprises of former veterans of the classic UK studio Psygnosis, Switch Galaxy is a simple title at its core, but the gameplay featured in it is what makes games with an arcade edge so addicting.
