Hit N’ Run’s premise is simple: Players control a sports car driving down a freeway and weave in and out of traffic, hitting cars that are the same color as theirs while avoiding different-colored vehicles to stay in the game as long as they can. When your car color changes, simply continue going after vehicles of the that new color. Colors change often and, unlike real life (unless you’re driving in New York), you’re rewarded for breaking traffic laws and following the worst driving practices. For every car of the same color you hit, you earn extra points. The faster and farther you go determine your score. Players receive bonuses for top speed, distance traveled (Freestyle Mode) or course completion time (Sprint Mode). Their are also bonuses located along the shoulder that can boost your advantage, i.e. extra speed and Ghost Car (invincibility), or inhibit your advancement, i.e. heavy traffic, Sunday driving, etc. There are also multi-colored wild card cars that can be struck by any color vehicle. Game play is divided into three different modes: Sprint, Free Ride and Time Trial and two difficulty levels: Normal and Advanced. Players steer their car using accelerometer-only tilt controls or accelerometer and touch controls, controlling the speed of their car using on-screen gas/brake buttons and steering via tilt control. While I normally favor touch controls, the tilt steering in this game works well and adds a complimentary difficulty level that surprisingly enhances the game’s replay value.
