But what racing games, on iOS, are better than it? I'm obviously missing something or some other superior racing simulator game that I haven't tried yet. (no console example please as I no longer even use any of mine much)

Driving Speed is by far the best I've come across; have you tried it? I would be curious to hear what you think. It's heavily on the "sim" end of the scale though, and I also wouldn't recommend it for devices below 4S/iPad 2. A lite version is also available, but for the iPad only. Here's the thread: (and link)

Haven't tried it. Hadn't come across it before even. I have ip5 and iPad 2 so covered device wise.
I'll have to give it a shot just for the comparison. It's not expensive at 1.99 so won't bother with the lite version.
Thanks for the info.

Do let me know your thoughts, privately if you prefer; I'm genuinely curious.

This game is sold as a sim but it's always far from a sim. Cars never respond well to breaking around corners which is ironic since one would think these SPORTS CARS are design with racing in mind, so they would have better traction and handling. But with RR2 prepare to start breaking VERY early or else, there goes your backend.

In terms of physic n AI, Reckless Racing 2 mops the floor with RR2 in the physics department as well as AI. in Reckless R2, hitting your opponent has immediate consequences for both of you. Also your cars reaction after you hit the railing depends on how fast you were going as we'll as the angle. So in reality, Reckless R2 is closer to a SIM than RR2 has ever been. And when it comes to AI, I have a lot of fun with it. Cause the Reckless R2 AI drivers aren't perfect. They make mistakes. I have witnessed multiple car collisions in Reckless 2 that had nothing to do with my input. Just too many cars going through a tight turn with excess speed. In RR2 I was able to cause a few big collisions when the game first came out. Now after the many useless updates, the AI drivers are pretty much like driving tanks. Not thanks firemint, it's just not fun!

So far in all the interviews I've read about RR3, all I hear is "console graphics" and "time shifted multiplayer". Yes those are great but I'm beginning to feel like there's not much else worth talking about and RR3 will be RR2 with console graphics, new multiplayer mode, real tracks, more cars and that will be it. Crappy fake physics will remain as will perfect AI.

I know, you're right, I really should have known better.
I always tend to fall for it when I have a lot of support for the dev and their product.

I'll post on its own thread after I've got some decent play time , don't want to post too off topic here even though its a relevant comparison.
But initial physics impressions are good and when you said heavily on the sim side, you weren't joking. That's a good thing though.

Yes, we understand fanboys can't help to attack anyone with different opinions about their precious game. At the end though it's only a game and others are still entitled to their POV.

I in no way attacked you whatsoever, I certainly disagreed with your opinion which, if you can express an opinion, going by your argument, I'm entitled to disagree with it.
I, however, don't have to lower my own standards and use swear words (which a moderator had to edit out of your post) and rhetoric along your lines. I can verbalise in a much more civilised manner.
And if being a supporter of a developer and enjoying their products leads to being called a fanboy, call me fanboy all you want, I thoroughly am a Firmonkeys fanboy and eagerly anticipate all their games. No problem with that whatsoever.
And, finally, this is a games forum so it is perfectly normal to engage on the subject of games and games impressions despite the subject matter being "only a game".

Nice effort in trying to make face, civilized person. But guess what... too late!

I'm just a gamer loyal to no dev. I call it as I see it. Please don't bother replying to my sub-standard rethorics cause I won't read it. But I know you can't help your highly civilized self!
