Driver

$6.99

Four and one half out of five stars.

This is one of my favorite game apps. Because it originally came from the PlayStation One game, it is not as simple and light as most others. If you are looking for an easy game to just pull out and play while you are bored, this might not be the thing for you. This app makes use of the touch screen and the accelerometer in your ipod.
There are three real modes in this game: Undercover, Take a Ride, and Driving Games. Undercover follows a story where you go to different cities and do lots of different missions: from helping a bank robber evade the police to stealing a cop car. Take a Ride is what I usually play. This is a mode where you simply select a city and drive around for as long as you can before the police "wreck your car". Driving Games are fun mini games such as "Carnage", in which you are invincible and smash everything you can before times up, and "Cross Town Checkpoint", Essentially this is undercover without the story.
The graphics in this game are the best I've seen in a game app. The audio is also great, though the music selection is pretty boring. All in all I think this game is excellent.
