This is just one of those games... No story, just fun.

Boost is a game that is totally made for your iDevice (iPhone and iPod thouch). No need for any buttons, you just tilt the device to steer and avoid blocks. And that's pretty much all there is.

But as simple as this sounds, as much fun it is.

The game is lightning fast, even on my 1st gen iPhone. Graphics are colourful, and smooth. Did not encounter any stutters or lags.

Sound is OK, but the one music track will soon get on your nerves. You can turn it off though of course.

Controls: If you enjoy using the accelerometer to steer, then you'll enjoy this game. It's very resposive, and it makes a lot more sense than having virtual buttons that you can press. Both slow and quick movements are possible - and needed to survive.

Story: nonexistent. It's kinda unfair I have to rate it at all, but it's true, there is no story.

Fun: heaps! Once you've mastered the controls (it didn't take me long) it gets really addictive. Of course, the whole game is rather short and your only goal is to get a better highscore, but that fits the game; and you'll often find yourself saying to yourself "ok, one more try, jost one!"

Bottom line, you get what you pay for - and that's not much: I got it for 1$ - it's currently on sale.
