There are hundreds of car racing games in the app store and finding one worth playing can be a challenge. Here are a few well-designed car racing games to check out. Some feature rally racing, while others focus on street racing. Download one during lunch or while waiting for a bus. The time will fly right by.
Fast Racing 3D
Crisp selection screens, garage, and menus prepare you for a well-designed racing game. Follow the onscreen prompts for instructions. The game utilizes tilt controls to steer and touch screen controls for accelerating and braking. A convenient map on the left corner of the screen helps players navigate through the course. The downside is the poor graphics of the cars during races. This game is available on the Google Play store.
CSR Racing
This game starts with a shifting gears tutorial, which isn’t that great and moves on to the garage, which looks really nice. See how each car looks in various paints before buying one. View it in 360 degrees and take a picture. After completing a quarter-mile race you can share the results online and upgrade your vehicle. You’ll need to when you start losing shifting battles to the various teams in the city. In-app purchases are available for cash. This game is available on Google Play and iTunes.
Fast and the Furious 6
Another street racing game worth checking out is Fast and the Furious 6. This game is similar to the movie. The characters provide a storyline, while the player races customized cars. The gameplay is similar to CSR Racing, which includes shifting into higher gears when prompted during the race. This game also has an online portion, which lets you race against other players. This mode is much more competitive than the storyline and the ladder races also provide a challenge. It’s available for Android devices, iOS, and Windows phones.
Pocket Rally Lite
There are several ways to play Pocket Rally Lite. Tilt the smartphone to steer or press the screen to turn. Accelerate automatically or choose to press the screen to drive. The camera angles are adjustable as well. Choose between the hood cam, overhead cam, or behind the car view. The rally courses look great, and the cars are equally beautiful. It is available on Google Play and iTunes.
Redline Rush
Drive as fast as you can while playing Redline Rush. Collect coins and avoid crashing into traffic. The highway is a blur until you flip your car. If you are fast enough, you can rewind the crash and start again, making your way through the course. The crashes are lively and nicely choreographed. In between races, upgrade your car in the garage or purchase a new one. This game offers in-app purchases for bucks, which can be used to buy and upgrade your car. It’s available on Google Play and iTunes.
Recommendations:
I would download Fast Racing 3D. The easy to use controls, especially the excellent use of the tilt function of the smartphone to steer, make this game fun and challenging at the same time. There are various modes including timed trials, elimination, and survival. All are played on well-designed courses that fit the smartphone screen perfectly.
