I think my complaints about not being able to feel the road surface may have been a little off. Certainly, when it’s raining and I turn a corner and see the smooth tarmac change to rough dirt the panic I feel must come from somewhere.


This is a very, very good game, overall. I’m playing the Professional difficulty now and it’s a good step up over Amateur without being too difficult. Perfect runs aren’t required, but you do need to do well and get through without any major crashes or scrapes.

The framerate does seem a little iffy at times, but I’ve not yet found it to be a problem. If I’d paid twenty quid for it we might be having words, but the £3.99 price tag helps to highlight the good and downplay the bad. I’m not making any allowances for it being on a phone -by now, the iPhone deserves to be treated as a proper portable games console – but I will make allowances for the price.
