Like many a young boy, I used to dream of one day becoming a famous racing driver. Little did I know that one day I could achieve my goal while sat on the bus.

GTS World Racing is a smart driving game for your Pocket PC. In terms of its presentation, this is one of the best you'll find on the platform. The 3D graphics are very impressive, especially the backgrounds, and the sound effects are pretty realistic too. In terms of its animation, GTS World Racing handles very well and you get a real sense that your driving a car, unlike those games where it just seems like the background is scrolling above a static vehicle.

The diversity of GTS World Racing is great too. There are 64 different track layouts spread across 16 locations worldwide (only two of which, Finland and Peru, are available in this demo). There are three different kinds of car to pick from, and four game modes to keep things interesting.

One of my favorite things about the way GTS World Racing plays is the Cruise Control feature, which kicks in when you reach top speed and allows you to maintain the same velocity without keeping your finger on the button. On the subject of buttons, GTS World Racing's controls are fully customizable so you can tailor it to the easiest way for you to drive.

There's not much to fault with GTS World Racing, except for maybe it's a little too easy at times and once you've got the hang of the controls you'll soon be leading the pack, even on the hardest difficulty setting. I would've liked some in-game music too, although that said, driving games have a track record of very bad soundtracks, so perhaps it's best the developer chose to omit any music.

If you've got the need for speed, you'll find that GTS World Racing more than satisfies your rubber-burning desires.
