    Great racer that didn't seem to get the attention it deserved. I actually just got it last week and, yeah, always stings a bit with price drops. But I think it was a bargain even at $2.99.
     
  3. Totally awesome game!

    Very highly recommended!

    Didn't it get some bad coverage? Even on TA? That's why it did poorly, I believe. So you're really recommending it?

    TA gave it four stars. Pocket Gamer gave it 9/10 and an extremely glowing review.

    Ah, yeah. And I don't think I've read a single negative review.

    Is this worth it at .99? I would buy it straight away, but the TA review mentioned a dual currency system and that makes me think it'll go freemium.

    It's pure laziness because I'll never know if to use ME or I in English. So I'm using a name because that always works. :eek: Does it sound royal in your dialect? Sorry.

    Sorry. Corrected. It's in my private TA "new posting with full app info and video"-template and I forgot to delete it.

    Other than that: Everybody who loves precision and action racers should immediately buy Ridge Racer Slipstream. High speed feeling. Typical homely 3D racer with great rewards. Perfect controls. Older devices: Check out first if it runs on you iPod touch 4rd gen. (main thread).

    There are a few standards missing (like local multiplayer) but the more people buy it the higher chances are that the game will be developed further imho.

    Much as I love RR, even at this price I have to pass because of the iOS 7 requirement.

    Oh! You know, now that I think about it, the reviewer mentioned the older game in the new review; saying that it wasn't too great, but the new one is an improvement. That's why I was confused, my bad.

    Be prepared for some future disappointment then because
    "Starting February 1 (2014), new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5 and must be optimized for iOS 7."
    Source: Apple developer portal.
     
  18. Connector agrees.

    Noticed a few AppStore reviews that says the car turns by itself and feels like you are watching the game more so than playing it. What is that all about?

    Bolded that bit for you. This isn't the first iOS7-only game I've had to pass up, but it's not a requirement.
