And now, I'm disappointed. Somehow, ...breaks no new ground in the area of iPhone 3D graphics... does not reflect the impression I got within 1 minute of launching the game: - lousy graphics - lousy sound effects - reasonable handling (though, wishing one could adjust those brake settings) - no in-game volume control for the music - no cockpit view Overall, this game does not compare to the likes of Fastlane, GT, SlotzRacer, etc. Looking forward to the next update, though. Based on past Freeverse titles, there's still hope. Alex That review convinced me to buy the game. And now, I'm disappointed.

Sorry Blake, for jumping on the comment about the lights, didn't mean anything by it. Nicely written article as typical to what I look forward to here. I'm sort of wishing it followed the movie a little closer, even in terms of licensing the characters and cars. Wonder how he got the title logo and not the rest? Anyway, I've really been enjoying it. I even got the song stuck in my head yesterday. I'm glad this one came out so soon - it was one I was really looking forward to.

Seems, too easy though (maybe, it's just the amateur circuit). Like some of the guys commented. Maybe, if they put a little more 'meat' into this game like being able to create/design your own car. The racing is kind of too smooth and you don't really 'feel' the speed when u press the pedal like the other racing games. Maybe, if there's a manual option. Who knows, if they are going to be any updates and they'll listen to us. But, isn't this game sponsored? Money, shouldn't be a problem for them. They should try to update this game further and it'll be great. Or maybe, just wait when they make a real stock car game. I'm still waiting for GP motorbike and F1?

Music is pretty cool too. At $0.99 it's no brainer, because it's actually quite fun. at $4.99 I'm not sure, but still, compared to other platforms even $4.99 is REALLY CHEAP for a game like this.
