Handmark, a Kansas-based renowned mobile content developer, has announced the availability of GTS World Racing for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch. Presented as the "first arcade-style racing game" for iPhone, GTS World Racing was created together with the British company Astraware and Pazzazz Games, an independent development studio.

GTS World Racing is also available for Windows Mobile and Palm handsets, but the newly-announced edition was especially designed to make use of iPhone's built-in accelerometer and offer gamers a unique racing experience. Thus, those who try the game will joyfully find out that they can control the cars, accelerate and brake only by "moving and turning" the iPhone.

GTS World Racing features four playing modes: Single Race, Challenge Cup, Grand Tour and Championship. Moreover, there are four difficulty levels, three car types, 16 locations and 64 tracks to play on; thus, GTS WR seems quite a comprehensive game.

Talking about GTS World Racing, Paul Reddick, Chief Executive Officer at Handmark, said, "We are excited to continue releasing the finest in mobile content, taking advantage of the unique capabilities of our partners like Apple. We bring the highest quality mobile applications to the market for our partners and end-users, making the mobile experience both fun and productive".

Howard Tomlinson, Director of Game Development, Astraware, added, "We have a long-standing relationship with Pazzazz Games and are delighted to bring GTS World Racing to the App Store. I love that I can control the game holding and turning my iPhone just like a steering wheel, which really shows off how well the device's accelerometer works. This is classic arcade racing fun!".

Available only via the App Store, GTS World Racing can be bought by iPhone and iPod Touch owners for the price of $7.99. The screenshots with the game look quite promising; thus, racing fans should probably make sure they try it out.
