    A micro-budget racer, with visuals and sound effects to match, yet under the bonnet is a very sophisticated engine.

    Players looking for a quick bite of old-school racing action on their iOS device will be right at home with Retro Racing.

    Retro Racing says it all - those who have played top-down racers in just about any form will slip right on to this title with ease and find themselves enjoying the nostalgic, yet distinctly modern feel of the game; it's just a shame it's all over too soon and without even a thank you for having completed it.

    With more tracks,more variety and more reason to go back to earlier races, Retro Racing would be perfect, but as it stands the game is still a great little racer that will remind old timers like myself of the glory days of the Amiga.

    One of those games with a decent gameplay formula that could have been so much more.

    When the game works well, it works pretty well. But it's bogged down by a few lingering issues that sadly tarnish the overall experience. There needs to be a little more meat on these bones, because the few pieces here are enjoyable. There's just not enough of it.

    Retro Racing has the appeal of an '80s racing game, but with modern mobile game annoyances.
