I'm really not into top-down racing games that much but this game is really fun. I only have the free version, but even though I only have 1 vehicle and 1 track to choose from (plus the practice track), this game hardly gets boring at all. I like playing this game while I listen to Pendulum music.

Vehicles

I have the free version, so there is only one vehicle to choose: a truck. I got the impression that in the full version you can drive a big rig, a rally car, a dune buggy and more.

Test Track

The test track can be accessed by pushing About in the main menu and pressing START in the tutorial tab. In the test track, you can learn how to control your vehicle and change and try out different steering modes: standard (there are steer left, steer right, gas and brake buttons), tank (there are brake, steer left and steer right buttons, gas is done automatically), tilt (there are gas and brake buttons, tilt the device to steer), half wheel (there is a brake button, a gas button and a half steering wheel that you use to steer by dragging your finger across it) and full wheel (which features a gas button, a brake button, and a full steering wheel which has the same steering method as the half wheel). You can also change the controls from the Options menu. I think that in some ways the test track is more fun than the race track!

Graphics

Although their is no external damage this game has some super nice graphics. A lot of the racing games I download from the app store do not have external damage effects but have some nice graphics.

Theme

This game has a country theme judging by the game music, the computer character names and even the description of the game on the app store.

My Overall Thoughts

A super great game with addictive gameplay and awesome graphics and also one of the several games that I downloaded when I first got my iPod Touch that I still play frequently. I can't guarantee it, but in my opinion I think that no one who downloads this game will be disappointed.
