News Article: Smashing Drive GBA Footage

This 3D engine must been seen to be believed.
When Italian developer Raylight Studios first showed us their BlueRoses 3D
engine for Game Boy Advance, we were highly impressed but wanted to see it
running on a real game and not just tech demos. The engine would go on to be
used in Wing Commander Prophecy and Ozzy and Drix. Raylight granted us a
peek at their next title with a lengthy gameplay video of their new game,
Smashing Drive for GBA.
The game employs Raylight's engine to generate a complex polygonal city
running at a surprisingly brisk pace. Some of our readers may remember
Smashing Drive as an arcade and console game set up like a futuristic
version of Crazy Taxi. You can glide off ramps, smash other cars that get in
your way, and drive straight up buildings. All of these features are
included in the GBA version, too. Download it below!
Chasing Kong (6MB, Divx Format)
Up the Fountain, Through the Museum (3MB, Divx Format)
Raylight Studios is also a licensed developer for Nintendo DS. Their first
DS project will be announced soon.
Jonathan says: This is amazing footage. I've seen 3D games on the GBA with
this much complexity, but not running at this speed or with so much stuff
going on (including music). I really hope the GBA adaptation is more fun
than the console versions.
Why hasn't Nintendo of yet snapped up this developer for their Handhelds is
behond me...
