The point of Carmageddon is to win. This is accomplished by completing laps, destroying your opponents, or killing all the pedestrians in a level. Adding other features like a replay editor, achievements, and iCloud support makes the design of the game even better.

Fun at the beginning

Actual gameplay lacks a lot of polish. The driving controls are unresponsive, and the actual driving is very imprecise. To make things more difficult, the lack of an in-game map makes finding opponents difficult.

You cannot really win by completing laps, and Carmageddon focuses on carnage. Playing Carmageddon is fun at first, and the many upgrades available make things interesting, but each level can take so long to complete that interest can start waning.

An average racing experience

Carmageddon sounds like it should be a fun game, but it is actually very limited. There are multiple ways to win, but you have to spend a lot of time in the game to really progress a little.

The in-app purchases can unlock more cars and races, but it tries too hard to remind you that the game is supposed to be nostalgic to forgive problems in the gameplay.

A reminder of the past that needed to be updated

While the graphics may represent the original game, the visuals look old. That adds to the frustration because the levels are kind of bland and even with the various environments, they are all basically the same.

A classic in more ways than one

Carmageddon spends so much time trying to say that it's an original and classic game, but the port of the game is missing a lot of polish and proper updating to properly

Is Running with Friends different from other endless runners?

The basic format of Running with Friends is the same as the seemingly endless list of endless running games. On first play it will remind you instantly of games such as Temple Run or Subway Surfers. You need to run as far as you can by dodging, jumping, or sliding under the obstacles in your way.

The setting for Running with Friends is San Fermin, Spain, home of the famous "running of the bulls" festival. So, instead of trying to outrun a hoard of monkeys (as in Temple Run) or an angry stationmaster (Subway Surfers), this time you're being pursued by angry bulls.

Other gameplay twists include the ability to grab hold of bulls and ride them to earn bonuses, plus you can perform some pretty spectacular leaps over buildings.

But the biggest difference between the gameplay of Running with Friends and most other endless runners is that this game is that it lets you compete against other players around the world, be it your Facebook friends, or random strangers. The idea is that you take part in head-to-head battles with your buddies to see who can run the furthest - and this proves very enjoyable and addictive, especially since your friends are represented by runners in the game itself so you know that when you've gone past them you've beaten their score.

There are weekly leaderboards where you can see how you've fared out of all your Facebook friends and players you've ran against during the week.

Running with Friends is free to play, though in-app purchasing is available. Game currency allows you to continue runs from where you fell in order to improve your distance. You can also buy new avatars for your runner.

Is it easy to play?

Part of Running with Friends' addictive charm comes from its simplicity. The gesture controls are much the same as Temple Run and Subway Surfers: swiping left and right allows you to dodge obstacles and turn corners, swiping up performs a jump and swiping down performs a slide to go under an obstacle or break an object. There's a handy interactive tutorial at the start which guides you through everything.

Navigating the menus in Running with Friends is very easy and once you've signed in with your Facebook creditials or registered for an online account, challenging and playing friends is a straightforward business.

How does it look?

Running with Friends is very well presented. The design of the cartoony game world has a distinctly Spanish flavor, from the police cars down to the street signs. This, coupled with the flamenco-style soundtrack gives it real charm and almost makes you feel like you're on the streets of San Fermín.

The verdict

Running with Friends is yet another endless running game and in that respect it is very unorignal. However, the social twist on the genre, coupled with the exceptional treatment of the bull running theme, combines make this a really enjoyable game that's hard to put down.

The major difference in the racing of DrawRace 2 HD and any other racing game is that DrawRace 2 HD requires players to draw out the course for their car before the race begins. Players have to think strategically about the twists and turns of each course before they are matched up against their friends or the computer controlled car.

DrawRace 2 HD uses this gameplay mechanic with a lot of skill. The game does not favor an arcade feel, but actually feels like it attempts to be a real racing title, just with a different mechanic. The cars react to the track, whether it is off-road or an official stadium circuit, with a familiar feel. The different cars of DrawRace 2 HD also change the gameplay as each car has different statistics and uses.

The game feels like a fully realized racing title, just without players driving the cars in real time. Previous knowledge of realistic driving games will give players an edge when they can recognize when to brake and accelerate. DrawRace 2 HD contains the same type of car mechanics. DrawRace 2 HD does not try to be entirely realistic by including a turbo button and jumps for cars.

DrawRace 2 HD includes a lot of different races which are opened by winning gold medals in the various difficulty levels. The game also includes multiplayer for racing with friends. If players want, they can also unlock the entire game via an in-game purchase.

There is a lot of content in DrawRace 2 HD which will last players a long time. The smart learning curve of DrawRace 2 HD will challenge even the most knowledgeable driving game player with the huge number of challenges.

DrawRace 2 HD might play differently, but is one of the best driving games.

Game modes

You can choose to play either a quick race, career mode or online/local multiplayer in Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD. This career mode will keep you entertained for hours as you race your way through different events, aiming to finish in the top three in order to progress to the next course.

There's so much variety within Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD. There are 55 different courses, taking in everywhere from Las Vegas to the European Alps. There are dozens of cars to unlock too, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Aston Martins.

Besides unlocking tracks and cars, Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD also rewards you with cash to tune your vehicle. You can even 'unlock' girlfriends, then access them through the 'Phone a girl' feature so they appear on screen when you race.

Graphics and controls

The polished 3D graphics in Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD are so good that you'll sometimes feel like you're playing a console driving game. In fact, the graphics are on a par with anything we've seen from this genre on a mobile to date.

The control system in Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD is kept very simple. We're big fans of the auto-accelerate system used in this driving game, and there were no problems with the touch controls during our tests on an HTC Sensation.

Racing cars in Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD is great fun, and the huge career mode and multiplayer options mean it will take a long time to get bored of this game.

Features

Gameplay in Real Racing 3 is very polished. It's a racing game with real life licensed tracks and cars that you purchase and upgrade to improve performance.

Each of the races are connected to other Real Racing 3 players and connecting to Facebook can import your friends who are playing the game. There are many different race types like head-to-head, cup, or elimination on the different tracks.

Controls are varied with a lot of options. By default you just tilt the device and the game will control accelerating and braking. You can also choose a very hands-on control scheme where you control everything or a touch-based steering system.

Usability

The game is easy to drop in to. From the start of Real Racing 3, you are in charge of purchasing a car and competing in the different racing modes. You earn points and money used to upgrade the car or service it to return it to optimal performance. It is designed with multiplayer in mind, even when your friends are not playing.

Quality

Visually, Real Racing 3 is a beautiful game. On older supported hardware, the game still looks excellent. On the newest iOS devices, all the graphical effects and shine come alive. It is very fun to look at.

Where the game fails is the push towards microtransactions. While you will not hit the pay wall too soon, it becomes apparent that you have the choice to grind or purchase money and points to upgrade your car. Upgrades and repairs cost money while maintainence costs in-game points to bypass the timer countdown or you have to wait a specific amount of time. This does let you have shorter play sessions, but upgrades are offered before a race.

Like most microtrasaction games, the balance toward free and paid is uneasy. You can play for a good amount of time before paying is necessary, but once you are immersed in the game and need an upgrade fast, you will probably pay for it.

Conclusion

Real Racing 3 is a great racing game with polished graphics, controls, and a lot of races to get through. The microtransaction mechanic is very forced and unbalances the game because it is easy to wait a couple minutes for an upgrade, but the longer you play, the longer you wait.

Installation

Real Racing 3 is a 716MB install, but EA says you need to have at least 2GB free on the device.

The depth of Asphalt 7: Heat is very impressive. You can choose from career, quick play, or multiplayer modes. Within each of these modes there are lots of different ways to play, and gameplay variety is great.

What are Asphalt 7: Heat's game modes

Career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat sees you attempt to progress through a series of cup competitions. There are 13 cups to be unlocked in total, each consisting of four different races. There are different kinds of races within Asphalt 7: Heat, including Normal, Drift, Elimination, Beat 'Em All, Paint Job, and King of the Hill. The gameplay in each of these is different enough to keep your interest levels high.

Progress through the career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat is based around earning money and star points to level up and unlock cars and races. As is the norm with Gameloft games these days, you can purchase stars to 'fast-track' your progress in the game.

If you want a less structured game mode, try Quick Play, where you can enter any kind of race, in any location, racing with any of the vehicles that you've unlocked. Better still, enter the Multiplayer mode and you'll be able to battle it out against a friend over Bluetooth/WiFi, or take on up to 5 others online.

How does it look?

The range of vehicles you can unlock in Asphalt 7: Heat is impressive. Vehicles are tiered in seven sets of similarly-powered cars, ranging from the likes of the Mini and Range Rover in the first tier, to supercars such as the Ferrari FFX and Bugati Veyron in the upper tier. You can even race in the DeLorean from the Back to the Future movies!

Graphically, Asphalt 7: Heat is without doubt the best of the series so far, and the visuals are as good as anything on the iOS platform to date, including Firemint's Real Racing 2. The cars look awesome, but it's the backdrops that really take your breath away in Asphalt 7: Heat. There are 15 different stunningly-recreated city and countryside courses set in a diverse range of locations including Hawaii, London, Havana, Tokyo, LA, The Alps, and Reykjavik.

What's it like to play?

Playing Asphalt 7: Heat is a real delight, not least because of its fluid control system. The default control system is based around tilting your device to steer, tapping the left of the screen to brake and the right side to apply nitros. It works very well, but if you want to change the controls in Asphalt 7: Heat you can, and there are four systems to choose from.

Races in Asphalt 7: Heat are thrilling to say the least, and the inclusion of collectible items and insane nitros makes it all the more enjoyable. It's unfortunate that, at least with the version we tried, there were a few graphical and collision detection issues with Asphalt 7: Heat. For instance, you can find yourself just driving 'through' another car or barrier. Hopefully, these glitches will be fixed in future updates.

Even with these minor flaws, Asphalt 7: Heat is up there with the best racing games for iOS, thanks to its pristine graphics and huge gameplay.

There is a loose story in CSR Racing. You're a newbie racer trying to defeat different race crews throughout the city. You gain cash and experience by racing in different events. Upgrade your cars with cash until you're ready to face the bosses in rival street crews.

Since CSR Racing is a drag racing game, the controls and gameplay are very simple. There is an accelerator pedal and two paddles to shift up or down. You realistically only need the accelerator and up shift paddle to play the game. The hardest part about CSR Racing is trying to get a perfect launch. This is pretty difficult as the accelerator pedal isn't very accurate and can't hold revs.

While the racing in CSR Racing is fun, it's short lived. Every race will take away one "gas" point out of 10. Once you run out of gas, you can't race. You can purchase more gas with the in-game coins or you can wait 6 minutes for each gas point, or an hour for a full tank. This means you'll have 10 quick races and you'll have to wait a full hour for another 10 quick races.

CSR Racing is an exercise in patience. Not only do you have to wait for your gas tank to fill up quite often. Players can purchase more virtual cash and coins with real money but there's no way to convert cash earned in race into coins, which you need to purchase most cars in the game. This means you'll be playing CSR Racing for years until you have enough gold coins to purchase a decent car.

There are some redeeming qualities of CSR Racing. Graphics are great and it's nice to see real cars used in the game instead of generic ones that didn't have to be licensed. Upgrades are satisfying and definitely change the characteristic of the cars.

While CSR Racing is fun, be prepared to spend some real cash if you don't want to wait eons to progress in the game.

The premise of Need for Speed Most Wanted is the same as the original console and PC game of the same name. You need to compete in races and speed challenges, finishing as quickly as possible while avoiding the wrath of the cops who chase you, set up road blocks and lay down spike strips in an effort to stop you. This mobile version does not have the same open world structure as the PC and console versions.

Need for Speed Most Wanted has all the classic ingredients of a NFS game. The 3D graphics are slick, there are more than 35 real life dream cars, the soundtrack is bursting with great songs, and there are lots of different types of race, although they aren't particularly varied in terms of their design.

In Need for Speed Most Wanted you start off behind the wheel of very modest cars but as you progress you earn money and unlock new cars, meaning you can acquire the likes of the SRT Viper GTS, Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Hummer H1 Alpha.

Driving in Need for Speed Most Wanted is very comfortable. The default mode is based around tilting to steer, though you can change this for touch-based control if you prefer. Nitros are activated by touching and holding the bottom of the screen. You don't need to worry about accelerating, braking or changing gear as this is done automatically. It would've been nice to have these options, but since Need for Speed Most Wanted is a pure arcade racing game rather than a driving simulation, this can be forgiven.

If you enjoy racing games and particularly if you're a fan of the NFS series, Need for Speed Most Wanted is one not to be missed.

As with the original, Reckless Racing 2 is a top-down driving game in which you need to negotiate a series of twisty tracks in order to win the race. There are lots of game modes to keep you busy in Reckless Racing 2 - a marked improvement on the previous version.

Game modes in Reckless Racing 2

The Career mode in Reckless Racing 2 contains 12 different cups - each consisting of several races over a series of tracks. The higher you place in the races, the more cash you win, which can be used to buy new cars or upgrade your existing car to improve its performance.

There's also an Arcade mode in Reckless Racing 2, which gives you a total of 40 tracks to race on. Each one is a single challenge, such as finishing third or higher, or winning the race. You can only pass to the next track once you've completed the challenge. Cash earned in Arcade mode can be spent in Career mode, too.

If you want a bit more freedom in Reckless Racing 2 then head for Single Event mode. Here you can choose to race on one of six different areas, either as a straight race, hot lap, or elimination event. Again, there are lots of different tracks to race on in Single Event mode.

If all of these single-player modes in Reckless Racing 2 aren't enough for you, then check out the Multiplayer mode. You can race against up to three of your friends or against strangers online, in any of the game modes mentioned above.

Graphics and presentation

The graphics in Reckless Racing 2 are even better than the already excellent visuals of the first game. Menu systems are much slicker and more 'grown-up', as the developer tones down the rather childish, hillbilly theme of the original.

In-game, Reckless Racing 2 looks sublime. The natural backdrops are more gorgeous than ever, with all types of terrain (desert, forest, beach, circuit, etc.) all meticulously crafted in fine detail. The Micro Machines-style viewpoint may seem a strange choice for a mobile game, but you'll instantly fall in love with it.

The techno music soundtrack provides a thumping accompaniment to the on-screen action, although it tires after a while and you'll wish there was more varied music in the game.

Other features of Reckless Racing 2

There are lots of options to tinker with that let you customize your Reckless Racing 2 experience. You can choose between five different control systems, with the option to place buttons anywhere you like on screen. You can also tweak steering sensitivity, enable auto-accelerate, and turn on various assists such as racing line, mini map and pace notes, which tell you when to slow down.

If you're looking for a helping hand to progress quicker through the career mode, Reckless Racing 2 offers the ubiquitous in-app purchase of extra game cash for upgrading your vehicle or buying new cars.

Although it doesn't quite have the same charm as the original game, Reckless Racing 2 is a mighty mobile racing game with few equals.

Since Forever Drive is a racing game, the focus is on finishing each race. You can control the car by tilting the device or change the settings for on-screen controls. During the race, you gain points and can earn bonuses by cleanly racing past other cars and collecting stars.

The farther you race without crashing, the faster you are able to drive. Tracks in Forever Drive are player-created, so sometimes diving quickly will actually hurt you when you are racing. The ability to create tracks and submit them into the game is one of the best features because after racing in the game, you can try to create a track that is better than anything you have already raced.

Forever Drive’s track builder is easy to use, but new customizations have to be purchased in the game along with new cars and car accessories. The in-app store does not come across as a necessity like other apps and actually creates a fun challenge to earn enough coins to unlock new cars and track accessories.

Graphics in Forever Drive take a neon and futuristic approach. The colors in Forever Drive pop and are fun to look at as you speed through each level. Surprisingly, there is a lot of fine detail in the tracks that is not included on the race track itself, but the environment.

Forever Drive is a great racing game that only grows with each new player-created track.

iPhone racing games stand or fall on their controls, and GT Racing: Motor Academy thankfully has enough configurations to please everyone's style. Steering can be on screen or using tilting, as can acceleration. There are a range of driving aids too, so you can set GT Racing: Motor Academy up to suit your abilities.

This is the Grand Turismo of iOS. While Real Racing 2's controls and assists mean players of all levels are catered for, it's a serious game, not an arcade racer.

It's been a long time coming but iPhone gamers at last having a driving sim worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the great console racers such as Gran Turismo and Need for Speed.

Firemint Real Racing GTI is a Volkswagen-sponsored racing game which makes wonderful use of the iPhone's hardware to deliver a high-octane, realistic driving experience. The control system is probably the most refined, yet simple you'll find anywhere on the iPhone platform. You control the vehicles simply by titling the device left and right to steer, and tapping the screen to brake. You don't need to worry about gears or acceleration because this is all done automatically. You can even turn on braking assistance so the game does that for you too!

That's not to say Real Racing GTI is easy though, and you'll need all the help you can get because the action is so fast you don't have time to think. All of your concentration must go into hitting the corners at the right angle and steering through the bends with precision at high speed.

The 3D graphics in Firemint Real Racing GTI are astonishing, and wouldn't look out of place on a PS2 or XBox. The impression of speed you get is very realistic, as are the roaring engine sound effects.

Strictly speaking, this free version of Firemint Real Racing GTI is more of a demo than a full game, although there's plenty to keep you occupied. The game includes a challenging Career mode featuring three tracks, Quick Race mode, and Time Trial. Real Racing GTI also boasts excellent multiplayer capabilities, facilitating races between up to six people over WiFi.

On the downside, the choice of cars is limited only to Volkswagen GTIs and you'll have to put up with all the promotional guff that goes with a sponsored title such as this one.

We can forgive this though given that Firemint Real Racing GTI offers undoubtedly the best iPhone driving experience to date.

The on-board accelerometer in the iPhone is opening up a whole new interface for gaming, and Fastlane Street Racing proves how it can be used to good effect for driving games.

Fastlane Street Racing puts you behind the wheel of a dream machine in a 3D driving game along the lines of console classics such as Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Need For Speed, etc. The novel thing about Fastlane Street Racing is that your car can be steered by tilting the iPhone from one side to another. Going faster or slower is achieved by holding either the accelerator or the brake buttons on the interface.

The controls take a while to get used to, and movement feels a little slow and jerky at first, but you do get used to it. What's more, you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor in the Options menu, where you can also customize the position of the gas and brake buttons, and tinker with various other settings.

In terms of its presentation, I thought Fastlane Street Racing was pretty slick. The 3D graphics are well rendered, the animation gives you a real sense of speed, and the high-octane music doesn't get too annoying. The sound effects in the game bothered me a bit though, especially the crash noise, which sounds more like a fork being dropped on a plate.

Fastlane Street Racing is definitely enjoyable to play and is very absorbing. There's not that much longevity in this Light version though: there are only two difficulty levels, both of which make it pretty easy to win races; you can only play as one car; there's only two courses, etc.

Nevertheless, Fastlane Street Racing certainly demonstrates a novel, yet workable new concept in racing games, so it might be worth investing in the full version.

The game lets you take the wheel of some of the hottest cars from the Fast Five movie. The Career mode sees you take on a series of challenges on the streets of Rio, the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong and more. In order to complete each chapter you'll need to take part in elimination contests, drift challenges, time attacks and drag events. With 10 different chapters to unlock, you'll be playing Fast Five the Movie: Official Game for some time.

Controlling the game is very simple, and it works in much the same way as the previous F&F iOS tie-in, Fast & Furious The Game Test Drive. The car auto-accelerates and you steer it by tilting your iPhone left and right. Tap the brake button and you'll slow down.

These controls are simple enough to master, accept the brake button is inconveniently placed if you're wearing headphones, as they may impede your thumb. It would've been better if you could touch any part of the screen to slow down, like you can with the first Fast & Furious iPhone game. Perhaps even the Fast Five the Movie: Official Game should have another control system to choose from.

Graphically, Fast Five the Movie: Official Game is very impressive. The impression of speed you get is awesome and streets are beautifully rendered. The explosive special effects that accompany each level really give you an adrenaline buzz.

Gameplay is more dynamic in Fast Five for iOS than it is in a standard racing game. Events happen during the race that are beyond your control (trucks falling from overhead carriageways, buildings falling apart on top of you, etc.) and you need to be prepared for this. A Rewind Time feature allows you to go back a few seconds during gameplay so you can correct any mishaps you make.

Other elements of Fast Five the Movie: Official Game that help keep you immersed in it, include the vehicle tuning section, and a multiplayer mode that lets you play online against up to nine other players. Alternatively, you can play against a friend over Bluetooth or WiFi.

Fast Five the Movie: Official Game is one of the most diverse and enjoyable iOS racing game to date.
