Car Park – iPhone App Review

 

Car Park ($0.99) 

REVIEW – “Do you have what it takes to park a car?”

 

Car Park is an insanely addictive action game that combines the challenge of parking a car with strategy and logic. Upon opening this app, I was a bit put off by the simple graphics, but the game is entertaining so I let that slide. Hopefully in future versions developers can make the graphics colorful and visually appealing to enhance the fun of the game. Instructions were very easy—just park as many cars as you can without crashing! The game is over if any cars crash, so pay attention for orange circles that warn you of a potential crash. While I was playing this game, I was impressed with how easy it was to control cars. I traced a path with my finger and the car followed and I had to make sure that new cars entering the lot had a parking space. The sound effects and music that played in the background were entertaining to listen to and got me in the mood to park some cars.

One of the best parts about this game is the amount of multi-tasking you have to do in order to park all cars successfully. As more and more cars start entering the lot, the harder the game gets. It was also nice to have the cars color coordinated so I knew which cars needed to park and which were leaving. A few things missing from this game were levels of difficulty and a way to keep track of high scores. I know that your high score is posted up on the intro screen, but there also should be a way to connect with other players and see a list of global high scores as well.

 

I was entertained with this app and know that people of all ages can enjoy this simple car parking game. Try not to crash and have fun strategizing the best way to park all cars safely!
