    I love this game and i am not even a fan of racing games at all, it has great graphics for an IOS game and is fun to play, the controls are straightforward and great and the amount of stuff to do in the game is massive however i do wish their were more tracks and cars but outside of that that is the only thing i wish this game had.

    It's a very fun game, I got addicted to it and overall it's very fun, and with AirPlay wow fantastic, but there are problems. And granted none are with how it plays or how smoothly it runs. Its the facted it's priced high and it's not optimized for the iPad and there are barely and customizing options, once you get online you see this more and that's why this game gets an 8.

    Graphics, simple but effective controls, the adrenaline, you name it, the game has it. The only issue I wish to point out is that it may get a little repetitive. Okay, one more, you can't to much to customize your car. But these don't really stop you from having fun with Real Racing 2.

    Real Racing 2 brings just about everything one could want from a racing game to mobile devices. 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.Real Racing 2 brings just about everything one could want from a racing game to mobile devices.

    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.

    Although, it's a bit old and there's already Real Racing 3, this game still has its charm.
    If you play with iPad, I strongly recommend using an iPad racing wheel.

    Things I like:
    - A great career mode
    - Fine graphics and car sounds
    - Generally cheaper costs for repair

    Things I don't like:
    - I lot of the good racers has shifted to RR3
    - Lack of F1 cars

    Ahhh, in a time before paywalls and loot boxes we have mobile’s first true racer, Real Racing 2. Where do I begin to describe this game’s near perfection? Amazing graphics (for 2010 of course), a wide variety of cars, and a decent selection of tracks. Real Racing 2 was truly a blast while it lasted.

    Yes, you need an iPad 2, this game and the AV adaptor. Yes you will have a blast, and yes you should be playing Firemint's Real Racing 2 HD on your 1080p TV right now! I'm excited to see what other games adopt this style of gameplay.

    The undisputed king of racing on iOS devices. Playing Real Racing 2 HD brings back memories of the first time we tried Gran Turismo, only much better looking. If you're looking for a serious racing game for your iPad, nothing comes close to this.

    Although the solo modes are fun, nothing is more enjoyable than pitting your skills against real-world opponents as it turns the sometimes generic racing into a virtual racing frenzy.
