With Riptide GP and Shine Runner, developer Vector Unit has twice proven that it knows how to make a fun mobile racer. Does Beach Buggy Blitz become the third? After having put some time into it this past week, I can confidently answer that with a resounding "yes". I am not usually one for racers on phones or tablets, but Beach Buggy Blitz is so well executed that I find myself making excuses to take a break and play it.

I wish my phone had enough guts for something like that.

There might be similar games your phone could run. If you're not adverse to tablets, as those continue to get cheaper and cheaper, it seems we'll all end up with one eventually.

My phone is old as dirt and would never run something like this either.
