The 3D racer's average score was a hugely impressive 9.43 out of 10, as it was acclaimed across the board for its slick action, cutting-edge graphics, and innovative connectivity.
It was one of three Fishlabs titles inside the Top 20, along with Snowboard Hero (equal third) and Powerboat Challenge (14th). Gameloft has five titles in the Top 20, while fierce rival EA Mobile has three, and Glu Mobile has one.
To qualify for inclusion, a game had to be reviewed by at least three of the websites tracked by PocketGamer.biz - which include Pocket Gamer, IGN Wireless, AirGamer, Mobile Game FAQs, Handy-Player, JeuxPo and MobileXP.
