Here you can choose from one of the five different control schemes (that include various onscreen buttons, virtual steering wheels, or tilt controls) and test them out to your heart’s content on a practice track until you’ve found the one that suits you. Quitting the tutorial takes you to the main racing menu where you can choose either Dirt Rally, Hot Lap, or Delivery mode and pick from 6 different cars and 5 different tracks to race on.ĭirt Rally is like a championship mode where you’ll race 3-4 laps on each of the 5 tracks on bronze, silver, and gold medal difficulties. Upon starting the single player game, you are thrust into a simple but very useful tutorial.
Like many of the best games on a mobile platform, the biggest problem with Reckless Racing is that there just isn’t enough of it. It definitely feels lacking in terms of track and vehicle options, especially taking into account the long development time, but what is here is super high quality and becomes an easier pill to swallow thanks to a really reasonable price point. Then, just this past week, EA announced that the game would finally be coming out on October 21st, and there was much rejoicing.Ĭommon sense would tell us that practically no game could match the incredible amount of hype that Reckless Racing has garnered in the past 7 and a half months, but casting that aside now that the final game is in our hands we can at least say that this is an incredibly enjoyable top-down arcade racing experience – just as we had hoped it would be. Meanwhile, the hype continued to swell in our forums to an astronomical degree as the weeks again began to pass without any sign of Reckless Racing. This was good news as it meant the game hadn’t been cancelled, but we were still left without a solid release date. Then in late July, nearly five months after the game’s announcement, we finally learned that EA Mobile had picked up Reckless Racing and would be publishing the title for Pixelbite. The weeks passed with no word from Pixelbite on the status of the game or a release date, and fans in our forums started to doubt if the game would even be released at all.
While initially developer Pixelbite Games had pegged the game for an “early 2010” release, suddenly everything went quiet regarding news on Reckless Racing. Later that same month, our hands-on video and an additional gameplay video only served to intensify the fervor of anticipation for the game now known as Reckless Racing. Ever since we posted the first video back in early March, when it was called Deliverace, gamers were impressed with the incredibly detailed graphics engine and arcade-like physics in the game. Reckless Racing is one of those games that almost needs no introduction.
