## What is Death Drive?

***DEATH DRIVE has bagged First Place Prize in Intel® Perceptual Computing Challenge!!*** 

When ACTION meets RACING, thrill moves to another level !! 

Are you ready with your Gears and Guns? We need you for your unique skill of driving and shooting. 

Entire country is under threat as terrorists have implanted bombs in different cities throughout the country. Our network of spies has managed to get the deactivation codes of bombs but you need to get these codes from different cities, one by one, to save the fellow countrymen. It is not an easy ride as terrorists know that you are here and are girded with weapons to kill you at the first glance. Our spies have informed that terrorists have ace shooters in their cars to smash you down. If that was not enough ferociously hovering helicopters would attack your car with missiles and fireballs. 

There is nothing worse than an unarmed warrior and your strongest weapon is your CAR!! For this fast and ferocious drive, you can chose from a deck of 12 high octane cars. Don’t forget to equip your cars with Machine Guns and Rocket Launchers to face your loaded opponents. 
Rush!! Clock is ticking away and you can't afford to lose the deactivation codes because thousands of innocent lives are counting on you.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-02-16*

Awesome yup it's awesome

### 1/5 — Lousy Controls 👎🏾

*2016-01-22*

Great concept for a game, but I'll have to agree with Silig regarding the controls, it makes the game virtually unplayable, certainly not much fun if your main focus of the game is on the driving and not the action.  And since Silig made their remark back in 2013 that should indicate the designers are in no rush nor seem to care one bit to rectify the problem.  All in all a frustrating experience.....Delete.

### 3/5 — Ok

action packed mission, Also open world, If possible. The graphics are good can be better. Handling needs improvements. Also iOS 9 update.
