Of course, any single-player racer gets boring after a while, which is why we like that RR offers online multiplayer races for up to four players. This takes place on a larger, more open track-and it's a blast. Then there's Delivery, which is just like it sounds: you pick up and deliver as many packages as you can in a fixed amount of time (3, 5, or 8 minutes). Single-player options include Dirt Rally (your basic championship mode) and Hot Lap (in which you race for the best single-lap time). That more or less brings the total to 10, but we would still love to see EA add some new tracks in a future update. RR offers just five tracks, which does seem a bit limited, though as you progress, you unlock reverse versions of each one. As far as we can tell, each car is identical in terms of handling and performance, which makes for a level playing field and a better game-you're battling the track and your driving skills, not the car. The game's half-dozen vehicle options include Otis' flame-adorned pickup, Cletus' old army jeep, Floyd's cab truck-you get the idea. Cars skid and slide and screech around corners (in varying amounts depending on whether you're on gravel or asphalt). Whatever control option you choose, you'll find absolutely perfect arcade physics.
We're partial to the buttons, but we are also enamored with "tank" mode (in which your car just goes flat-out the entire time-all you do is steer).
And you get to choose from five different control schemes-everything from basic left/right-gas/brake buttons to an onscreen steering wheel, to accelerometer steering. Reckless Racing is absolutely dazzling, with vibrantly colored cars and tracks that are just shy of photorealistic. The game delivers on two major counts: graphics and controls. Reckless Racing is just plain fun, taking some gameplay ideas from old classic console games like RC Pro-Am, and adding in modern graphics and physics to make a racing game that is a blast to play and looks great on the iPhone 4 Retina Display.
