Outstanding arcade production of the Russian Geleos team dedicated especially to young players. We control the ostrich, which in subsequent races has to overcome obstacles encountered on the route (such as logs or rakes lying on the road or mechanical traps) and collect all the ostriches eggs it encounters.

More Poultry? NO, but an ancient, although slightly comical race of African bird, which does not fly-does not look like it ever did, and probably never will, which has a tendency to bury its head in the sand at the first sign of trouble, has now been incorporated into a PC game where his ar... more than ample hindquarters can be accelerated up to 90 km/h in a race to success.

It would be very ungracious to laugh about, or at such a creation but that is exactly what we're doing.

You can now see how a 2.4-meter absurdity stops in its tracks and collects eggs of well over at a kilo in weight. Just to make sure this does not begin to sound too serious we have added a cell shading, cartoon engine to the game.

Ostrich Runner is a race through eight different worlds with a lot of obstacles and a lot more rivalry---four secret hidden bonus levels and up to six power ups per challenge should keep you amused and wildly addicted when trying to win the race. So heads up and join the chase to glory, but beware! Do not run into too many closed doors or step into any buckets. And the lawn mower will make mincemeat of you!
