Zoom Zoom is a racing game for the iPhone with a twist. Instead of driving your racecar around the track using the touch screen or the accelerometer, this app only uses the microphone.
To move your car, you?ll either need to blow into the microphone or make a loud noise constantly. If you try the blowing approach, chances are you?ll find yourself slipping and making car noises. This app has no sound effects whatsoever as the developers intention was for you to be the sound effects in this game. Kind of cool, but definitely gimmicky.
Your car is on a track, very much like the toys of our youth. If you give it too much gas around a corner, you?ll derail and apparently explode. While we?re not quite sure why you explode exactly, we?re not complaining either. Failure shouldn?t be tolerated. Once you explode, you?ll pop back onto the track and get to continue where you left off. The timer continues to run, however.
This game isn?t easy to master and you?ll find yourself flying off the track very easily. The lack of a break function is pretty frustrating as well. They do have a multiplayer mode if you want to challenge your friends over local WiFi, but over all, this app is just a bit too gimmicky for long term enjoyment. Definitely a great app to show little kids, but you should probably tell them to make loud noises over spitting into your microphone.
