Review: ‘AG Drive’ for iOS game review
AG Drive is a racing game featuring anti-gravity space ships that you race around a futuristic race track set in the year 2260. The game is a combination of Wipeout and F-Zero, and pretty much what you’d expect that to be like if you’ve played those games.

AG Drive is now available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPad and has been given the Apple’s Editor’s Choice, which, to be honest, doesn’t really mean much if you see the history of some of the previous games that got this honor. Let’s see if this one’s any good.
Gameplay
In AG Drive you pilot an anti-gravity ship, which is like a small aircraft hovering just above the ground. The tracks you fly these things on go up, down, and sideways, which is not an issue for these gravity defying machines.

But enough of all that. Is the game fun to play? Nope. For all the fuss the developers make on the game’s description page you’d think it’s the next big thing in racing games but it’s honestly quite dull overall. The game takes heavy “inspiration” from both Wipeout and F-Zero in particular, with its ship designs, looping topsy turvy tracks and the whole anti-gravity racing thing in general and doesn’t manage to be half as fun as either of them. Wipeout, in particular, has a cool weapon system that you can use to blow other ships, that this game lacks.

Graphics and Sounds
Admittedly, AG Drive does look cool when you are playing it. There is a very real roller coaster like feel when going down vertically towards the ground on these tracks and getting a bird’s eye view of the city below. That is until you realize this is exactly how F-Zero GX looks like, which is when it seems less impressive. Also, there are a lot of ugly low resolution textures in the game, often on the ship right in the middle of the screen that you are flying. Still, the visuals remain the highlight of the game, which is not saying much.

Verdict
AG Drive is an unoriginal, uninteresting, and unremarkable racing game. Other than the cool visuals there is not much here that’s worth commending. Even the visuals are lifted from other games, so I wonder even if that’s worth commending. The gameplay is quite repetitive and eventually, boring. There is also a certain tackiness to the game, from the menus to the language used in the game (your agent calls you ‘babe’, for some reason). Overall, AG Drive is not worth your time and money, and Apple needs to hire better editors cause the current ones have no idea what they are doing.
Pros: Cool visuals
Cons: Boring, repetitive gameplay, not much variety in vehicles or tracks, grating soundtrack, tacky writing and general menu design
Worth buying?: Hell no
