With many game modes and settings, lots of cars, and a load of tracks (30 last I checked) the game is loads of fun. The online mode allows you to race against up to 16 other people, which is a pretty intense race, but the party mode allows multiple people to play on the same big screen TV, using the AirPlay feature – I was not able to try this as my daughter was not interested at all, but it sounds pretty nice.įigure 5 - tracks are locked until you complete them in career modeĪll in all, Real Racing 2 (iPhone version or iPad version) is an intense, graphically stunning, enjoyable career racing simulation. This was fine for me, but people who may just want to race a track or two will be out of luck. The quick race mode required you to unlock tracks before you can use that, so in effect the game forces you to play in career mode. It would be nice to see gradual build up rather than damage just suddenly happen (my bumper, when it was hanging there, still looked nice and new – no dents, scratches, or anything).įigure 4 - my bumper almost fell off in my first race!
In addition, I am not sure if damage in a race actually influences your performance or not. Unfortunately this does not appear to affect game play at all, not do you have to repair your car in order to have it work optimally. AS you race, your car can become damaged (in one of my early races, my bumper was hanging off just as I crossed the finish line). One area I was disappointed was the car damage. Of course the upgrades are required in later races, as my poor VS Golf just isn’t going to cut it in a later race.įigure 3 - visuals are stunning, both during racing and watching the race in replay "movie" mode. Car manufacturers include VW, Volvo, Ford, Lotus, Nissan, BMW, and more.

As you race, you build up “rep” and money, which can be used to upgrade your car, or even buy a new one. In the career mode (my favorite) the only drawback is that you have to unlock races one at a time – I would have preferred to see multiple options to begin a career, some of which may be harder than others.

There are multiple game modes – time trial (with or without the “ghost”), multiplayer (party play, local, or online), career, or quick race. You can select three difficulty levels (and change them later). You can even choose the layout (to some degree) of where you want the various pedals or wheel located on the screen. With the settings you can choose a wide range of options – automatic acceleration, brake assist, touch steering, steering sensitivity, steering assist, anti-skid, and even horizon tilt. The game play is similar to most other racing games – the default is tilt the device to steer. The images in this review are from the iPad Air, but they are just as solid on the iPhone.įigure 2 - multiple game modes are available. And the frame rate doesn’t appear to take a hit (although in fairness I was playing on an iPad Air and an iPhone 5S – older devices may not perform as well). You really notice little effects – like the shadow on your leather racing gloves, the slight reflection of other cars on the windshield, and even the glare you get when the sun reflects off of other cars. The photorealism of the graphics is incredible, whether you are playing or watching a replay of your last race. Just as with the original game, the graphics blow you out of the water.
Real Racing 2 is the followup to the Firemint hit “Real Racing”. Luckilly, with Real Racing 2, you don’t have to make that choice.įigure 1 - you get to choose one of two cars when you start. Even today, many games choose to forego the realistic graphics (at least to a small degree) in exchange for game play. The stunning, realistic graphics blew everyone away. I remember when Gran Turismo first came out for the Playstation. Please note, this review is also in the iPhone apps and games forum, as the game is also available for that device.
