GT Racing: Motor Academy (iPhone)
The framerate seems much better in the Career mode than in the quick races I did. I suspect that’s because I was racing against three cars instead of nine, or possibly because the game starts you off with slower cars than are available for quick races. Maybe a little of both. The pop up isn’t any better, mind you.
I’ve found another minor complaint, though. The career races I’ve done so far have all been four laps, which is a little long. Two or three laps would have been a better fit for an iPhone game, I think. The AI cars always seem to be just behind me, too, so I’m a bit concerned that there’s some rubber-banding going on. That’s fine in an arcade racer, but it something a little more simulation-based it seems wrong.
Still, whatever complaints I have got do have to be weighed against the important thing: the cars feel good to drive. That’s what really counts and Gameloft have – somewhat to my surprise, I have to admit – nailed it.
