This week is 3GSM, the mobile industry's annual shindig in Barcelona. Mobile games publishers keep a fairly low profile at the event: most are here, but buzzing around having meetings rather than splashing out on big stands.
One company that does have a stand is Gameloft, and they're showing off some new games on it. Yesterday I got hands on with Rayman Kart, which is basically Mario Kart with less plumbers, and more limbless French slightly-doglike heroes.
It seems fun, with you able to race as Rayman, Globox, a rabbid or other characters from the series. You steam around colourful tracks bouncing off rivals and picking up power-ups to flatten them with � examples being some boxing gloves, a nuke and something called a 'mega fist', which I won't speculate about.
There's three categories of race to enter, grouped by cc to indicate the power of the karts.
Mobile is still waiting for a truly great Mario Kart clone, but Rayman Kart is shaping up as a decent stab at the genre.
More from the Gameloft stand � and other publishers � over the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
