But my hands hurt so much playing in Portrait Mode that I can't reach the fifth star :-((( ### 4/5 — Decent *2024-09-15, version 1.6* Overall a decent game. My only complaint is there is no Solo Time Trial mode. I personally don’t like having to compete for spots on a leaderboard that is completely dependent on RNG. ### 5/5 — 11 years later and still playing *2024-05-21, version 1.5.1* Come back to this game every few weeks for 11 years to beat my times. It’s till the best racing game in the iPhone. Started on my iPhone 4s and now I have an iPhone 13. Still waiting for RR 2 but hey, I still have this! ### 5/5 — Done *2024-05-17, version 1.5.1* A lot of fun but now I’m done and don’t have anything my else to do. ### 5/5 — I loved this game *2023-12-02, version 1.5.1* I was scrolling through my download history when I found this gem from my childhood. I would spend hours just racing over and over! It’s the best thing I had as a kid and man it was great! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-10-17, version 1.5.1* It's the only game I play now. ### 5/5 — Retro Racing Fun!!! *2023-04-20* Sehr zu empfehlen!! ### 5/5 — Macht mega viel Spaß! *2022-12-02* Einfache Grafik und trotzdem viel Spielspaß! ### 5/5 — Love the power up *2022-08-14, version 1.5.1* Great feel and love the power ups, the voice reminds me of the power ups from Project-X which is a winner. Love it, thanks for keeping the app updated. ### 4/5 — Great Game! Didn’t take me long to complete though! *2022-08-01, version 1.5.1* Great Game but there isn’t enough levels to complete. ### 5/5 — Great racing game *2022-05-12, version 1.5.1* Wish there was more tracks or a 2nd version i would pay for this its that good ### 3/5 — F1 *2022-04-04* Jeu très sympa!!! ;-) ### 5/5 — Simply wonderful *2022-02-08, version 1.5.1* Remembered my old days of intellivision... ### 5/5 — おもろい *2022-01-09* 昔な感じがいい。 ハマった。 ### 5/5 — 最高のゲーム *2021-11-24* 暇つぶしにずーとタイムアタックが出来る ### 5/5 — NEED A SEQUEL!!! *2021-11-20, version 1.5.1* best game on phone and I really think that adding some more races or making a sequel would really bring out its full potential. No complains here though, great game ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-10-18, version 1.5.1* It great fun when got good car and just one word masterpiece ### 5/5 — Tons of fun! *2021-09-23, version 1.5.1* Simple game. Well polished. First levels (racetracks) are fairly easy to master. As you get better, challenge increases greatly. Very satisfying! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-09-11, version 1.5.1* Reminds me of micro machines on the Mega Drive. Simple fun and just the right amount of challenge. ### 5/5 — おも *2021-08-26* ろいんちゃんちゃかちゃん？ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dont buy *2019-07-21, version 1.4* Waste of money nothing good to report ### 1/5 — Takes me back *2018-12-13, version 1.4* I remember these top down race games from the dawn of video gaming... this is pretty faithful to the genre. However, it just doesn’t DRIFT - so rapidly becomes boring. You need a car with the power to send it careering off the track at every corner, and drift physics to counter that. Wrestling with this conundrum is gameplay gold - there are many examples around of how much fun can be had when it works. Sadly this isn’t one of them. ### 1/5 — No *2012-04-29, version 1.2* IAP required in order to fairly compete on the leaderboards. ### 2/5 — Accelerator issue *2021-03-29, version 1.5.1* Accelerator keeps cutting out!! Can someone let me know how I sort this issue please! Thanks ### 2/5 — Controls Hit & Miss *2020-06-28, version 1.5.1* Game could be great but for some reason the acceleration button doesn’t seem to work all the time. Such a shame. ### 2/5 — Hi *2019-04-27, version 1.4* This is cool but try asvalt 9 lagends but this is cool 😎 to ### 2/5 — Loved the game until I made an in app purchase *2015-12-09, version 1.3* I love this game it was one of the best top down racers ever, right up until I made an in app purchase another game will no longer open and allow me to play at all on my iPad mini. Please fix this problem. This was my favorite game. I could spend hours playing. The tracks are great cars are fun but I'm not able to play the game at all anymore ### 2/5 — Not Worth the money *2015-04-19, version 1.3* Only 18 tracks (and I completed them all within 3 hours of playing, all of them in first position), plus if you want better cars, you have to pay. It could have been a good game. ### 2/5 — Retro racing *2013-10-16, version 1.3* The game lost its sound a month ago not cooligertoe ### 2/5 — Way too confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😬😬😬😬😬😬 *2013-08-25, version 1.3* Fun but the controls are WAY to confusing!!!!!!!!!!

Pitched just right, for me.

I started playing Retro Racing 2 first, and I like the landscape format went through all the levels and then downloaded retro racing and it has the portrait set up, which was kinda strange but still good. I bought it all. ### 5/5 — Recommended *2024-10-10, version 1.6* Addictive retro game 5/5 ### 5/5 — Best Racing Game of 2024 and onwards! *2024-09-24, version 1.6* This retro-themed app excels in delivering an authentic nostalgic experience that resonates with me.
