Popular game developer Firemint has announced that two of it’s games will be making it’s way to the iPad for the April 3 launch date: Flight Control HD and Real Racing HD.  Check out the article below to see video, game information and comments from Firemint CEO Robert Murray on each of the games.

Flight Control HD

Flight Control HD lets you play the role of an air traffic controller in charge of an increasingly busy airport. Players must touch an aircraft and drag a path to the correct landing zone while avoiding collisions.  The gameplay is simple, easy and addictive.

Flight Control HD contains everything included in Flight Control for iPhone and iPod touch, as well as many additions and improvements for its arrival on iPad.  One of the coolest new additions is the ability to play the game in 3D (although the glasses are not included).  Here are some of the new features:

• More ways to play, including multiplayer modes that take advantage of iPad’s innovative Multi-Touch interface.
• Split-screen “versus” mode: play competitively by sending your planes to capture aircraft from your opponent.
• Co-operative multiplayer on a single iPad: share landing duties with a friend on one of three HD airfields.
• Multiplayer on two devices (selected from iPad, iPhone or iPod touch): land aircraft of your own color, and direct others off the screen for your fellow Controller to land.
• New Snow airfield with variable wind direction in addition to the four Classic iPhone airfields (Original, Beach, Carrier and Outback) and three HD airfields, for a total of eight single-player airfields.
• Quirky “3D view” airfield brings Flight Control to life like never before – use red/cyan glasses to see aircraft floating above the iPad (3D glasses not included, widely available from retailers such as amazon.com at low cost).

Firemint CEO Robert Murray commented:

Flight Control HD is everything you love about Flight Control, re-imagined for iPad and packed with new features and content. We think this will be the best Flight Control experience yet – if you thought Flight Control was addictive before, wait until you play it on iPad!

Real Racing HD

Real Racing HD is a racing game that puts you in the driver’s seat.  Use the iPad as a steering wheel as you compete for racing glory.  Real Racing is one of the most acclaimed racing titles on any mobile platform, and the Real Racing HD on the iPad looks to continue the success.

Here are some of the new features:

• Car Skins – allows players to select photos from their Photo Album on iPad and Real Racing HD will automatically wrap the photo around the selected car.
• Ghost Racing – lets players race against a pre-recorded ghost saved on iPad or downloaded from Firemint’s servers.
• Touch screen controls specifically designed for iPad, with a new sensitivity adjustment option.

Firemint CEO Robert Murray shared his thoughts on Real Racing HD.

We’re all very excited about the launch of iPad, and Real Racing HD really shows off the new possibilities that come with this breakthrough device. Real Racing is all about authentic pack racing action. iPad is incredibly immersive and personal so playing the Real Racing HD App will be an adrenaline-fuelled rush.
