Scalextric gets a new mobile game

We have to admit, we're a bit confused. Last year, mobile publisher Player X signed a deal with Hornby to release a Scalextric mobile game. Look, you can read our story about it for proof.

But now Spanish publisher LemonQuest has announced that it's releasing a new mobile game based on... Scalextric. Except it's through a licensing deal with Spanish firm Tecnitoys, not Hornby, and the game is going to be called SCX in some countries, and Scalextric in others.

Ah well, despite the confusion, the game itself looks like a corker. Boasting nifty isometric graphics, it'll let up to six players race against each other, although it's unclear whether that's on one handset, via Bluetooth or even over the network.

You'll be able to tweak your brake tension and fuel load, and alter your pit-stop strategy to get the best out of your car. And, brilliantly, you'll also be able to build your own tracks with the game's built-in editor.

Assuming this makes it to the UK, we're dribbling at the prospect. Click 'Track It!' for an alert when we have more news, or a review.
