developed by Black Coal Studios. If you love racing games and racing
others to become number one, then this game is definitely for you.
This cool concept racer brings new hype to racing games. This game

Once you get into the game you get to customize your car. One great
thing about the game is you get to take a picture from your IPhone
camera, album, or barcode and paste that picture as your car. There
are plenty of cars you can chose from and you can customize them as
your own. Players can also post favorite custom car’s barcode via
Facebook and Twitter. Where your friends can download your car
through the barcode. After you’re done choosing your car you then
get to chose your difficulty and your tracks. The goal of any race
game is to get first place. I’m sure with a title like Paper Racer,
you’re wondering if the game play is...Ahem paper thin as the title
says. Rests assure though, the courses get harder along the way with
obstacles that can make things interesting.

Choosing your difficulty makes the AI a lot more realistic. Well as
realistic as a simulated paper race car can be. Winning and passing
through the obstacles thrown at you gains you more levels. Of course
as the game progresses with the levels, things become much more
challenging.

The controls of the game are like all racing games. You have your
left and right triggers with your accelerator and brakes. It’s hard
to get use to at first but once you get some practice in, you will
be making the awesome drift maneuvers like the pros. The gameplay
gives you a couple stages to choose from and plenty of tracks within
each. Making it more entertaining and stretching out the gaming
goodness, but not too long to where you lose interest in the game.
The sound is simple. You have only one song playing after every
track. It doesn’t get boring hearing considering it could be worse
and have no sound. The one song does its job in building your
adrenaline up. You also hear the engines of the cars as well as the
squeal of the tires on the turns.

The graphics are on key. Since the title is Paper Racer, the whole
theme is notebook oriented. Mixing them both up brings a new field
to racing.
Paper Racer is a fun racing game with a quirky fun look. What more
can you ask for within a racing game? Paper Racer is a great game to
pick up for new racing experience, race your way through the tasks
and become number one.
