Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Road Rage at none against Shift 2's 5. Road Rage also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Shift 2's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
