Reckless Racing is finally out
- Thread starter NX3
- Start date
Totally agree.
Easily the best controls I've used on a racing game. Hands down, super simple, and a couple of different configs to use.
Definitely a great looking game.Best graphics of any game I've played yet on android. The 3D engine looks gorgeous! I hope they do more with it
With that being said, you definitely need a phone with a dedicated GPU. Sorry, but snapdragons wont cut it.
Play some multiplayer... the competition is really good.

Runs great. Downloaded and playing within 10 mins on DInc. Thanks for the heads up.
I agree!!! It is so annoying not to have screenshots. I don't think I've ever downloaded an app or game that didn't provide screenshots. It's just pure laziness not to include them.
But this game looks so awesome I'm going to have to try it!

let's put things in perspective. $2.99 is what you spend on coffee in the morning. That is all.

My review is done, I also shot some videos, that show how fake the multiplayer races are. You can read it here:

I can't believe people complain about something that costs a mere $3 that you can use over and over but will happily spend $5 on a crappy-ass Starbucks coffee that will be gone in 15 minutes...
Blows my mind.
ANDROID PIMPS: Just a little heads up. Before you blame a game or whatever, at least be able to state it in proper English. Please learn the difference in use of then/than.

Like the graphics and would be even cooler if you could zoom the graphics to get the perpsective the ad intro has. Zoom in for Sega Rally style 3rd person game and zoom out for the current game design. I thought this game would be a better version of Burning Tires, based on the intro ad.
I did not like how the tracks repeat so quickly (in reverse mode) and racing was so easy. I won every race that I tried, the first time.
Game and dev have a lot of promise

You could have said that less aggressive imo.
Thumbs up for Dan for making a site that reviews them and
be friendly.
OT: Love the game. Bronze medals were quite easy. Still have to try it on Silver and Gold. I hope it gets a bit more challiging along the way
First of all you two, I do not drink coffee.
Second of all, it is my opinion that the game is overpriced. I played this game twice and haven't had the urge to play it again. I have apps that cost $0.99 or even free that I like better. It's my f'ing opinion and that's all and I'm sticking to it. I think I'm allowed to state my opinion, right? ..|..

Well you all got me to download it.
Positive:
-Great graphics
-Polished
-easy controls
Negative:
-Needs More tracks
-Needs more camera options(like the trailer, as stated by a member)
Overall: The games graphics make up for the $3 Price tag, but i felt limited as it was too easy of a game. This game seemed repetitive and it seemed like it was missing something which makes me not get addicted to it like most games. I felt empty playing it. For some reason while other racing games can be repetitive, they are a whole lot more fun playing.

Absolutely you are! And others are allowed to disagree.
I don't see $3 as a big deal. I spent $200 on the phone and $90 per month for the plan. $3 is really down in the noise particularly for a game that is fun, has such polish and demos the platform so well. That is my opinion.

Difficulty
Everyone that is saying it is too easy needs to try the harder difficulties. There are also multiple game modes as well, which make the game more interesting, such as the delivery mode.
Price
For those complaining about this, I too am dumbfounded as to why they are doing so. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion as someone stated, but just because it's an opinion doesn't mean it's correct. If you go back several years before the smart phones started becoming popular, mobile games on handheld devices (such as Palm and PPC) cost anywhere from $10-30, the average game being $15. If you look at DS and PSP games, they are generally $30+ new.
The quality of games I am seeing on smart phones that range from $2-5 is rediculous, I feel bad for developers, especially those who once basked with income from the $15+ games that must now cost $3 to actually survive in the market.
People these days are cheap, non-contributing zeros. The time it takes to develope a game, especially one as polished and good looking as Recklss Racing is worth more than the measly $3 price tag. Probably one more reason people refuse to port games over to the Android market.
People also want big name companies and titles such as those from EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and others on the mobile market, but why would they waste the time, effort and money to supply a community full of whiny people not willing to pay $3 for a quality game when they could dedicate those resources making a $60 game for a much larger audience?
Quality games aren't going to get cheaper, but more expensive, especially as higher end devices come out with more capabilities. Look at the console market. 15 years ago games cost $30-40 new, while most new games entering now are $60.
Downloading
With any app that you download, especially those over 5mb, you really need to turn wifi on; it will download in seconds, not hours. No matter how fast you think your 3g/4g network is, it will never top a 10mbps+ internet connection from dedicated locations.

The game has been updated with two new cars and one new track.
So, you now have eight cars to choose from (six original, two new) and seven tracks (14 if you count the reverse modes; one new from this update and one new from the previous update).

Raging thunder has the same issue with multiplayer, but it may be due to technical limits of the devices (and servers). You can't expect to see in true real time what a guy that plays from 10000km far from you is doing, expecially with such a fast game, you see his position with a small amount of delay. I think they could improve it a bit but I really enjoy to be able to play such a fast and great looking game in multiplayer on a slow device like my hTC Legend. I think you're asking too much... multiplayer races are not 'fake' simply you have to remember that you see your opponent's position with 2-3 seconds of delay

Look at the video, it's not just delay, the races were completely out of sync and sometimes both had a totally different race. If it was just delay with a little bit of warping, it would be understandable, but there are races, where you battle someone and then when you take the lead and win the race, you see that the other guy never touched you in his game and won the race by a huge leap. The only thing that gets matched is the racing time at the end.
It probably got better, I reviewed the game when it came out and it had a few updates.
