The controls? Dead simple. Right to accelerate and left to brake. The driving? Very challenging. The realistic physics requires actual skill. But as you progress through the levels you'll come to master the physics and pull tricks and stunts that you thought impossible! With 100+ levels, a tiny install size, fast performance, and offline play, this is a game you'll want to keep around for a long long time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wheel Shift at none against Drive Mad's 10. Wheel Shift also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Drive Mad's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 203) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
