My Review:

This game was a big leap forward for iPhone gaming. Released in late 2008 it looks like it could have been released today. However the developer's description is a bunch of exaggerations. First example would be "...the most breathtaking 3D graphics on the iPhone yet." Don't get me wrong, the graphics are amazing, but for those of you that have played NFS and Real Racing, it's not the best. The price is what makes this app worth buying. For all that you get when you download the app, $3.99 is amazing. Another example would be "...prepare for the most hardcore racing experience of your life!" And as I said before, you CAN get much better but you CAN NOT get ANYTHING better for the price.

When you open the app, you are brought to the main menu, here you can start a new race, access your profile, access the options (sound, configurations, sensitivity, etc.). When you click 'start' you can choose single or multiplayer. Multiplay is pretty much useless because no one is ever playing with this app. When you select 'single player' you can choose 'quick race' (instantly puts you in a random race), 'arcade' (Play until you lose), 'championship' (play all levels and best standing at the end wins), and 'timeattack' (play against your best time 'ghost'). The graphics are pretty good, way better than Asphalt 4 and competing with Crash Nitro Kart. The frame-rate is unsurpassed by any other app on the app store even almost a year later. The AIs are pretty smooth too.

Last Words:

Incredible game, graphics are good for the most part, a good game thats fun to play. Limited levels and cheesy sound but the graphics and physics make it fun to play.

Final Verdict:

75/100
