Just Brilliant!
I think that this is just about as good a game as you could possibly make in this style. The top down view has been enhanced to include some camera tracking which is very cool, and the blend of Tarmac, dirt, gravel, and ice make for really great variation. The races are good, but the online leader board and challenging yourself to get in the top 1000 or even 500 have kept me hooked day after day.
I would conceivably change only two things, to have cars that performed marginally better or worse on different tracks, and the ability to search for my friends best times so I could race them offline so to speak, and then trash talk them when I knew I had just beaten them.
This is surely one of the top iOS games, and reminds me of the classic Super sprint, but about 10,000 times better. Big up to the developers, you have my vote!Show lessJon Spragg
A Classic
This is a classic racer, I haven't had this much fun since the original Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo. It has the perfect balance of being easy to learn, but hard to master. The hillbilly theme, the characters and music are perfectly suited - the devs nailed the concept. The graphics are pure eye candy. The tracks are expertly designed, and the mechanics and physics are great. There are many subtleties which bring the game to life, from little sounds like your suspension buckling as you go over a bump to the sunshine filtering in through the tress, which all add up to make the gameplay more immersive.
My only minor critisicsm is that the a.i. on the gold difficulty could be a little harder, as its too easy to beat....but it doesnt really matter as its the online multiplayer that keeps you coming back for more, and more...and more. Other reviews say there isn't enough tracks, and I agree somewhat, a new track every few months would be a nice addition, and I would happily pay per track...however I think the devs are working on Reckless Racing 2, so thats fair enough imo. There could be a couple more music tracks...the ones that are there are awesomely deliverance-y and superb, but they do get a tad repetitive. I would also like to see a few more jumps and high risk, high reward shortcuts.
I don't leave many reviews, but this is a standout game, a classic imo.... and I can't recommend it enough.Show lessmarmater

Racing Gears!!
While not being desperately original of course (ie, Ironman Stewart, Super Sprint, Micro Machines and Racing Gears.... the hidden gem of the GBA) Reckless Racing is a perfect implementation of the top down racer.
I was sceptical about the controls - so many IOS racers are let down by the lack of real buttons - but found that the programmers have let you place the virtual pads wherever you feel comfortable, which is sheer genius. Fiddle about until you get it right for you and there should be no problems control wise.
The drift physics are spectacular, the graphics are great and thus the game is a whole bunch of fun.
Might I add that if anyone does have a Gameboy Advance lying around and can get hold of a copy of the virtually unknown Racing Gears cart - that game is awesome too.Show less47810
Modern implementation of Ignition from the 90's
This games is simply superb and similar to a game called Ignition from the 90's. The car handling is great fun, and with short but interesting tracks it's easy to pick this game up and enjoy. Impossible to give it anything other than 5 stars really .... I only paid 59p, but it would still warrant a higher price IMHO!Show lesssimonfr
Consistent pricing
Just paid £2.99 for this the other week, not impressed and thus it loses a star. The game itself is very playable and will provide a good few hours of excellent gameplay with fun driving physics. In my opinion reckless racing is slightly superior to the similar death rally, although racing fans could easily justify the purchase of both games, with both being brilliant top down racers. At £0.59 do not hesitate to give this a try, you will not be disappointed.Show lessBigmanp206

Lots of fun, thanks!画中人
Great Retro Inspired Racer
It's been a long time since I've played a top down racer , but Reckless has given the genre a much needed reboot . Plays very much like a much improved version of the old arcade favourite 'Super Off Road' - Trying to beat your own times in the ghost racing alone is reason enough to own this great game , with the other modes just the icing on the cake ! The controls have lots of custom options so you'll find one that suits you easily , more impressive than the good graphics is the way the cars handle ..... they just feel right - slip slidey enough to be fun but not cause frustration . Plays perfectly on a first generation iPad too - which is reassuring if you were worried you needed the higher spec iPad 2 to run impressive games like this .Show lessloopingstar
A Real Gem Of A Game
This game simply oozes that "x factor" that can be so hard to come by. It's a great mix of frustration and joy playing it where one false move can send you from leading the pack to languishing way behind them all!
Seasoned players used to the reactions you obtain playing sideways scrollers or timed type games (where one small move can make or break) may get through the levels very quickly meaning perhaps less longevity for replayability but more casual gamers and younger members of your family will be challenged and delighted by this game for quite some time.
Well worth the purchase.Show lessHeath & Heather
