Retro Racing Review (iOS)

Music and Graphics

The music in retro racing is quick and fast paced rock n’ roll style. It fits the game type well, giving the game a racing atmosphere of adrenaline rushing at the edge of your seat feel.

The graphics are clean, crisp, and simple in Retro Racing. They deliver on conveying “retro” feel of the games name sake. One can easily make out what objects are on the screen even for a top down view without having to concentrate to figure out what you are look at.

Conclusion

Retro Racing is a good start to a game that could use a little more polishing. To be able take it to the next level of racing and make it a game worth owning, the game lacks a few things that most racing games have. A map outlining the current track you’re racing on along with position tracking on that map would greatly improve understanding what lays ahead down the road. You will find yourself replaying the same track until you memorize it just to place in the top three spots. Being able to zoom in and out even a little bit would help reduce that horizontal viewing disadvantage, mentioned earlier. Twelve tracks doesn’t leave a lot of replay ability. Being able to stock pile or choose when to use a nitro instead using it when you drive over it would be a great addition. Overall if the developers continue to tweak and improve the game and allow free updates to add the improvements, Retro Racing is worth keeping an eye on, but for the time being your money could be spent better elsewhere.
