    Real Racing 2 feels like it shouldn't be able to fit in a device so small. Somehow Firemint have squashed every last feature they could think of into the tiny iPhone.

    A phenomenal game with an impressive slate of features and superb design, Real Racing 2 is the epitome of iPhone and iPod touch gaming.

    With an impressive variety of modes, cars, and customization options, this realistic and stunningly rendered racer is one of the best driving games on the App Store.

    In the racing sim category of the App Store, there really isn't another game that is as impressive as Real Racing 2. It really does have everything that you would want in an iOS racing sim, from the nice selection of cars to the various racing tweaks to the outstanding graphics. The bottom line is that Real Racing is now the App Store's Gran Turismo.

    For those still unsure about the iPhone's gaming credentials, this accomplished racer is more than adequate evidence for the contrary.

    With its incredible visuals, a precise control sistem and a perfect career mode, Real Racing 2 is the must have racing game for iPhone and iPad. Thanks to the many level of configuration, both the casual player and the simulation addicted can enjoy the game at its best. In a simple word, this is what Gran Turismo should be on a portable device, and don't forget the 16 players online multiplayer!

    There are a few niggling technical issues but this still easily laps any other serious racing game on the iPhone - or any other portable format.

It also does so with fantastic graphics, a nice selection, solid career mode, and fantastic controls. The controls scheme is probably the most impressive thing about the game. You tilt the device to control your steering wheel. Normally motion controls like this are a disaster for racing games. Here they are all around responsive and feel natural.

    While perhaps a little bare bones on cars and customization options, Real Racing 2 succeeds with just about everything else. It's a fantastic way to race on the go. It boasts a lot of quality to boot, making it likely as close to possible as you can get to taking a console quality racing game with you on your phone.    … Expand
