Hot Ballon Race Multilanguage 240x320 java game free download

Description:
Rather than drifting peacefully over the Sussex downs, Hot Balloon Race has you barrelling across stretches of flatland at a hundred miles an hour, collecting speed boosts, weaving through opposition, and setting off rockets along the way.

Hot Balloon Race is a one button game. As in reality, you don't have any control over the balloon's direction and left to its own devices it sinks to the bottom of the screen. The only force you can exert is to fire the burner, sending your balloon upwards for as long as you hold '5', so that the whole game involves bouncing along on gusts of momentum.

It's a simple but fluid mechanic, and exactly the sort of thing Digital Chocolate does best. The animation flows naturalistically, with every balloon followed by a band of colour tracing its trajectory.

Each course is strewn with rings of stars through which you have to steer to gain extra speed, and these loom three-dimensionally across the screen as you pass - the stars constantly orbiting. Whenever you make it through a ring, the basket of your balloon actually swings back against the extra resistance. In short, Hot Balloon Race looks beautiful.

There are nine races in all, each set against the backdrop of a different country, and as you progress the number of opponents you have to race against increases gradually from three to eight, with you invariably starting at the back of the field and clawing your way to the front.

This was in a Nokia section of a site, but it does not seem to work on my Nokia N95 so I think it needs moving, checked out the review and I think it's a sony version of the game. Can't check though because don't have a Sony
