This is the best racing game on the iPhone, and with more depth would make a run at the best racing game ever (mega plus at 10 bux at it clocks in at just over 60 megs.) Still, it's plenty deep, deeper than Asphalt 4. If you call it a sports game then it's the best sports game on the iPhone (SMASHES Tiger, real tennis and soccer and the best of the rest). If you buy one game this year, buy this.

I've downloaded a lot of 3D games for the iPhone, racing in particular, with high hopes. Sad to say I've been let down many times, but now I am finally at peace. This game is a perfect 10 in all aspects. Graphics, Audio, Presentation are awesome. You'd pay at least $40 for a PSP game of this caliber, so $10 is a steal!

Best graphics of any racing game, best controls of any racing game, tons of content, coolest cockpit view in a iphone game, & umm...well I just got it so that's my first impressions. I've played nfsu & this easily tops that! Just 1 minor complaint, where's the optional mini-map?

i have been waiting for this game since ir was announced last year and i mus say i am impresed. the game looks awesome and the graphics are great. the presentation as you open the app is not a pre rendered video but actual game graphics which was a nice touch. the in car view is great as is the first racing game to do it on an iphone and do it well. i know that as a customer we are never satisfied with what we get so here it goes. I wish it had liscenced cars like honda ford ferrari porsche, that would have made the game better in my opinion. still a great game and i cant wait to play it more as it has tons of races and crs to unlock. online play thru wifi or 3g would have been a nice touch considering that the iphone update is around the corner this game would capitalize on the ingame voice chat (like on xbox live) that the new update would provide. this game has set a new benchmark for iphone racers. even though this game is a racer cannot be copared to NFSU for the fact that this is a simulation and NSFU is an arcade style racer. overall great job firemint you have given us a great gme once again. thx

OH. MY. GOD! Finally a racing game that let's you race, have fun and get your hear racing and hands sweating. Perfect controls and sensitivity. outstanding fluid animation and realistic graphics, not to mention fluid dynamics. Without exageration, the best racing game available on the iPhone, hands down. Get it...and ENJOY. (what a pleasant surprise to find it available 1 day in advance of WWDC!)

Been waiting a long time for this one and it was well worth the wait! Incredible control and by far the most immersive driving experience on the iphone to date. While NFS and Ferarri GT are great arcade racers, Real Racing is as close to a sim as you can get. A MUST HAVE for your iphone!

This is by far the best racing game on the iPhone !

Really great racing sim in the spirit of Codemasters' better console titles. Firemint proves they're the real thing.

The best arcade game I've ever played so far!

I've played Ferrari GT, Fastlane, and even 2XL Supercross, but I've never played a game as perfect as Real Racing. IT BLEW ME AWAY!

Needs a minimap or some indicator so you know how sharp the turn is infront of you. That way you don't need brake assist (not realistic) and you would know if you need to brake or not.

The racing awards: BEST ARCADE RACER: nfs undercover (9.5/10). BEST FUN RACER: crash kart (8/10). BEST OFFROAD RACER: 2xl supercross (8.5/10). BEST RACING SIM: real racing (10/10). HONORABLE MENTIONS: asphalt 4 (7.5/10), Ferrari gt (8/10), and fast and furious (8/10). Also FASTLANE: (6.5/10)

This is a must have. What a great game. Love the cockpit view. Lots of polish and a great feel to the driving. Ai is great too. Highly recommended

Just started and can't wait to get all the way through this game!

I debated all morning if I should spend the $10... it was worth it so far! Outsanding game play, wow. I just hope they don't put the game on sale anytime soon. I can't stand that, ha! Keep up the great work.

If you are a racing fan this game is a must buy! Amazing graphics and gamplay. Definately worth more than ten dollars. P.S. I am not affiliated or paid by firemint.

This is an amazing game.

-Excellent controls -Excellent graphics -VERY Fun Not much else needs to be said, the only beef I have right now is that it crashes sometimes. This is the only appstore game that I can say is worth the 10 dollar asking price.

This will not dissappoint any racing fan.

It's a good racing game on iPhone and iPod touch !!! If I can play it with people of the world(Real Racing Online), and it's the top of racing game on iPhone and iPod touch !!! Update it !! Thank you very much~I'm very like your racing game.I always play your racing game(Fast and Furious) on mobile phone and iPod touch. Thanks !

bought it cuz it was a Firemint game and it is amazing!!!!

This is HANDS DOWN the most immersive, complete gaming experience YET in the iPhone/iTouch platform! Would be worth twice what it cost :D Keep up the amazing work Firemint! You guys are amazing!

MASTERPIECE!!!

Gameplay 5 Controls. 5 Graphics. 5 Framerate 5 Replay. 5 $9.99 for awesome made racing game . 5 This is $40 game made right Great job dav team done great job

The AI is ridiculous, cheap, and retarted. It's worse than Days of Thunder. It's bumber cars all race long. Cars hit you from behind from the start of the race to the end. They slam into your bumber and force you off your line constantly. They push you into the wall. They nudge you into the grass. They're unrealistically aggressive, cheap and dirty. There's nothing you can do about it. Once you pull out in front by just a hair they will attack you every single time, often unprovoked. They'll wait for you to approach a turn and then you're toast. There doesn't appear to be a rear view mirror. I'm not sure it would make a difference anymore. The game is rendered borderline unplayable until AI opponents start behaving more realistically, and not like a kamakazie crash test dummy. Lamesauce, my friends. Complete lamesauce.

Well it really is no comparison at all, Real Racing takes the checker flag handly, some ppl are saying you can't compare them because RR is a sim and NFS is an arcade, to the contrary, real racing is not a sim, but an arcade racer with very real driving physics, not to be mistaken with the all skill and no fun sims of the current consoles like Frza or grand T, which I absolutly hate do to that fact, I'm a ridge racer for life when it comes to racers, the original "RR", and I'm telling you as a fan of the ultimate arcade racer of speed and manuverability that Real Racing is far better than NFS in every aspect and every element of what a fun racer should be on any hardware, be it mobile or stationary, nfs (iPhone ver.) to me was a one play throw away," like a used condom on a drunkin onenight stand" and one of the worst concepts of what a racer should be on any device, most imporantly it's lack of control by player, I mean you can beat the whole game playing with one hand, while holding a conversation with your mom about safe sex, no kidding, do to, auto correctional stering, auto accel, almost auto everything, no challenge, not even a little, stupid videos inbetween every race that had absolutly no value, no secondary veiwing, no replays, no nothing. If you like the ridge racer series, tho Real is nothing like it, or if you, like me, thought fastlane was the only decent racer to come out of the store as far as sense of cntrl, speed,and overall realisim, than this is the game for you, don't be tempted by EA's price drop, you'll beat in 2hrs, but be soar for a week. And, to not be so hasty in coining Real as a none sim, what I mean is, tho there are functions to make it more simlike, AI brakes, and a few other auto functions, you have the option of turning them all off, giving you complete control of your vehical, letting you have the ability to drift( although more realisticly) cut corners (tho with the slow down), ram and box out other racers, and have them do the same to you. And tho the speed and futurestic manuvarability of a genuin arcade racer as Fastlane or the true RR aren't there(break neck drifting, at 200mph+), the arcade fun is still there. The best feature aside from real being just a truly awesome game for the device, and the best racer to come out since launch, is the cockpit view, which is perhaps the best FP racing view I have ever seen, tho I've played other racers with a similar option, opposed to the traditional complete FP view to 3p view, this one is so well done, utilizing the iscreen with a perfection that has yet to be out done by any game regardless of genre, for a sense of in game emmersion that is truly a tecnological feat. I highly rec this game for any racing fan be you a sim head or ridger. Currently playing: Isotope, csone, 7days on an off, cylinder revolution, and, with myself:) Waiting for: Quantum Collapse, and October 1st, cause you better belive I'm "go"-ing can't say the whole word as I think big brother is sensoring any mintion of it, this was fun while it lasted but when all is said and done nothing beats tangable joysticks, and intill apple actually makes a actual device specific for gaming instead of trying to get devs to cram code everything, and loosing there shirts in the process, as a great deal of the bad games in the store are only due to cram coding a device that's meant for a number of thing first and games last, that's where I will remain.

Finally a true racing simulator, not just an arcade game. No "drifting" here. But dial up the assists and even arcade types will be pleased. Simply stunning graphics.

Huge gamer, not too big on racing games however. But this game just feels great. Suberb controls and framerate, great career and outstanding online connectivity. Great value, easily worth the $10.

Amazing

Shame its not in 1080p. Incredible for a hand held racer. Crushes all !!!!!!!

Is just that. There is a way to look back, and they worked for months on that alone. It is a technological masterpiece and deserves #1 on top twenty-five list. P.S. Lamesauce? What are you ten, or just a f***ing idiot?

this is a great racing app. If you love racing, go ahead and chip up and buy this game. Im still getting used to the controls, but they are getting easier. and the online mode is the best.

I rarely review iPhone games; but after purchasing and playing this game I had to give it 5 stars! I really feels like your playing on a console game system! Great Combo of gameplay, graphics, and soundtrack! This game flatout rocks!

When EA’s Need for Speed finally made its debut after months of delays, I declared it the best arcade racer available at that time for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. Well, I can safely declare Firemint’s Real Racing from Firemint is the BEST overall racer, arcade or otherwise, available on the platform that blows away everything else. The game is impressive in all aspects of the word for controls, graphics, and gameplay. It is truly a racer that not only sets a high bar, but tears it down and creates a new set of rules.

This has to be one of the best racing games, if not the best game period on the iPhone. Great gameplay. Great graphics.

I had high expectations for this game based on reviews from people with pre-release copies and this easily exceeds them. This game isn't for people that like to win every time. The controls take practice to get used to and the artificial intelligence of the competition only makes this game harder. But once you get the hang of it, this game is just incredible. The graphics are outstanding and the game even runs smoothly on my outdated 1st generation 8GB iPod Touch. The replay value is awesome and the career mode is fantastic. I haven't even gotten a chance to play with the online features or the local wi-fi multiplayer but still am addicted to the game. I also have Need For Speed Undercover and can say with confidence that this game blows it away. The accelerometer controls makes this game as fun as any racing game I have ever played and it costs 1/5 of what most console games cost. Amazing!

Best racing game on iPhone, but the lack of a mini map is killin me.. 

You're really getting a lot for the buck, well ten bucks, with this game. I won't bore you with the praise everyone has already given it. I really just want to air two requests: 1) PLEASE add a map when I'm driving. I don't have time for 10 test laps to get to know the course. 2)Make the AI a little less annoying. I'm talking about all the hitting. I'm sensitive. Hold me.

Played 1min23 and then got back to NFS

It is incredible. The sounds cars and tracks are all great. Best racing game ever.

Great game, but it locks up quite a bit.

As the rating suggests, I really like this app, but I would like to see a few things added in the future. 1. On screen mini map during races. 2. Option to qualify. On higher difficulties it can be a pain to fight your way through the CHEAP and overly aggresive A.I drivers. 3. I want the game to save your volume and screen orientation settings after you exit out of the app. It's stupid to have to go into the options every time I start the app to change it to the way I like it. 4. It would be nice to be able to watch the replay after every event. Other than these little nitpicks the game is a blast to play and at $10, is a steal. UPDATE: I'm changing my rating from 5 to 1. The reason? The A.I. has angered me for the last time. I've been stuck on the same A class hatchback career race for TWO days now. And it's not that they're faster than me, it's that I can't pass them without them just flat out crashing me. Maybe I'm just a sissy, but I'm a sissy who's not playing this game again until they update the idiotic A.I. drivers. Just to clarify, I beat all of the C and B class races before attempting the A class races so technically I am ready for A class.

Good but not worth it trust me do not get!!!! Save your self 10 $$ don't do the same mistake I did

Personally, I did not like this game. I couldn't keep the car on the track on the curves. For me, Need for Speed was 100 times better than this game. A big waste of money for me.

This game is so hard to control

The opponent drivers are way to aggressive. Firemint should add another bar that can control how aggressive the A.I is.

Refund please. I hate this game, its boring, hard to control, and way too hard.

Amazing graphics, but the game is boring and hard to control

awesome graphics and gameplay. always crashes. always. fix this please. steering is wicked touchy also maybe some adjustments would be nice.

Waited for this game for a while.paid $10 and and hardly play it cuz stupid computers bump n bump n bump.y is it called "real racing"?don't even have real licensed cars.can't modify the cars, can't buy a car,online only time trial,and can't earn any $ to buy or modify cars.ohh yea no mini maps on gameplay.replay graphic looks like the car is floating lol.NOT a REAL RACING game.waste of $.btw this is my first review on a app.

I bought this game expecting an amazing realistic game just like all the reviews said... But i will be honest to say that this game is way over rated. The graphics are good, but can be way better. The tracks are way to empty and need more enviroment graphics. It also needs an On-Screen map. To be realistic, "Fast Lane" has way better graphics than this game.

I would give this racing app a 5 but it has one small issue. The CPU opponents are on a bot path. For those of you who don't know what a bot path is, it is a path the cpu players follow. Well the CPU cars follow this path and do not leave it even if you are there. They push you out of the way so they can stay on that path. Adding to that, if you hit one of them you loose a second and a half or more and a lot of times if they hit you they continue on at the same speed or end up going faster. I find this anoying because it is not fair. Last but not least if you even so much as touch the grass you loose so much time and everyone blazes by you. Grrr silly. I don't want to discourage buying this app because it is an awesome app and well worth the $5. You just have to work around those small issues. Cheers and happy racing

If you loved Gran Turismo 1 & 2 as much as I did, this game is that and then some in the palm of your hands. I would state that if you have the $5 to spend on a racing game, this is your game right here. The graphics, the handling, the control schemes and music are all stellar. Firemint put a lot of work into the game, and they keep it fun by letting you adjust the game to your tastes and desires. Tweak what you want, when you want, and compete over the web to boot. There are 0 other games like it. Great game, great price, and great fun on the go.

Things to add: A mini map or arrow or something to show how sharp the turn ahead is. A small fixed rear view mirror to see what's going on behind you when the action is to intense to full screen swap. Please do this and it will be better Can't say more stars I gave 5 Paid ten when it came out and it was worth it Please add the 40 car 3gs option you've teased with for months An stop dropping priced there isn't multiplayer

Real. Racing. Period. Buy Now!!!!!

Casual player as I have a life. Can't even unlock the "B" class cause I came in 2nd on one race. I'd LOVE for the oppurtunity to drive all the cars without dedicating many many hours to a GAME. I bought this and can only use about 10% of it. So can I get a refund for the other 90%? Seriously, unlock everything for quick races!!!! Amazing in every other way.

This is almost definitely the best racing game out there, but it is TOO DAMN HARD. I am but a casual gamer; I have a life.

I heard of this game through an internet show called Co-op. This was one of the main reasons I bought an iPhone. (didn't have the phone at the time). Who would have thought an iPhone game could be anywhere near as good and real as a console game? If you like racing games and accelorameter driving, then you'll like (if not, love) this game. Well with the price.

This is the best racing game I've played so far. I own a lot of racing games from the first I bought, crash nitro cart and asphalt to the ones I've played recently like need for speed, this is by far the best gameplay. I have to say that NFS's graphics were superior to RR but the graphics would lag and drive me crazy when i was racing. This game has much better frame rates and doesn't Sacrifice much. Unlike NFS's bland race tracks RR's feature pretty scenery and great sounds. The in car view (the view I choose to race in) is very nifty with the speedometer and the shifter which you can watch the driver use. Although I've completed the game on the easiest difficulty i've gone back numerous times to play in the harder difficulties to unlock new cars, play in online leagues and submit time trials. Overall on of the best games I own. Although the game is pretty expensive for iPhone game standards, $10 in any other handheld gaming device's market would be pretty much a steal and this game gives many other ds and psp games a run for their money so it's well worth the money. Things I would like to be add/fixed: 1. The AI although I don't think it wants to kill me can be pretty obnoxious. Try to program the ai to try to avoid hitting other cars and running them off the road or make them easier to psuh around. I like the first idea because it's more realist and this is RR after all. 2. Why can't I customize my cars??? Please add in a graphic customizer. 3. What about a track meant for speed? Like an oval to see the top speeds of these cars. 4. Liscensed material??? How about some actual racing venues from around the world or atleast similar ones in actual locations. How about some real cars with real interchangable parts ( NOT LIKE NFS who think that they know how to customize cars with their little packages for speed and acceleration etc.) 5. I like the incorperation of the music library from in game but can you make it so you can deselect music you've previously selected to play? Thank you for this wonderful game! 10/10 Michael Williams.

Period. Now that the price has been reduced to $4.99 you just have no excuse to not get this. Even if you're not necessarily a racing fan, this game will still entertain you for hours. Try the lite version and see it for yourself.

For your ten bucks, its great! I thought it wouldn't be good at first, but i read the reviews and bought the game. this game, has fantastic graphics. not only the graphix are great, but its just a great game itself. stop reading, and buy it. kinda like gran turismo....

Great app! Just wish I was a better driver.
