2: The iPhone is not as powerful as we thought. I have OutRun 2006 running on the PSP next to me here, and it's at least twice as detailed and runs at a much smoother clip then Asphalt 4.

@michael - This is a console-quality game with a real budget, NOT a quickie amateur product like much of the stuff in the app store. I would put the graphics on par with a PS2, but not quite the first xbox. There are 20+ cars, all officially licensed (BMW, nissan, etc.), with tons of unlockable customizations, like the kinds of tires, the kinds of cylinders, the kinds of air filters, brakes, and tons of other things that I just can't guess how they impact the game. But, the real selling point for me is just the amount of detail in the level design, something that is completely missing in GTS. If you're worried about price, think of it as spending $18 on this game, with that other game tossed in for free. You're still getting a bargain, I think.

This is it.

No forced BS tilt controls, I largely prefer tapping slight to the left and right to steer, the graphics are nothing short of amazing and the gameplay is so vast - car upgrades, good progression with regular unlocks.

This is the first "traditional game" to really get it right and not seem like a forced implementation for the (unusual) platform.

Love it, recommend it wholeheartedly.
