To help sell the new Volkswagen Polo, launched at the Geneva motor show, Volkswagen is also launching a Polo racing game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Like the Audi A4 racing game launched last year, the Polo game takes advantage of the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod Touch, letting you control your car by tilting the devices. Unlike that earlier game, the Polo game is in 3D.
The object of the game is to post winning times on all eight tracks. Each successive track is unlocked by a win on the current track, but the difficulty increases on each track. A soundtrack for the game is provided by German rock band Feinkost.
The fifth generation of the real-life VW Polo was just launched at the Geneva motor show. The new version of the car refines a popular compact and practical vehicle and offers five engine choices, along with a seven speed dual clutch manual transmission.
The Polo racing game will be available from the iTunes store in mid-March.
