Reckless Racing [by polarbit] is one of the best racing games for Android I have ever seen. As soon as you see the high quality animated background of the menu, you know these guys mean business. This game has everything your heart desires and will bring out your inner redneck no matter how hard you fight it.
This game has both single player and multiplayer modes, so it’s twice as fun. In multiplayer you can host or join a local game, or find a game on the internet. You will need an account to play online. I know I don’t like registering either, but it’s pretty easy and quite worth it. Online gameplay is just as smooth as Single player mode gameplay.
There are 3 types of races in Single player mode; Dirty Rally, Hot Lap and Delivery. Dirty Rally is a standard race and it my favorite, Hot Lap is basically a time trial challenge and in Delivery mode you earn money by picking up goods at various places on the map and delivering them to their drop off points.
You can choose from 7 original tracks and 7 reverse tracks to race on. Each track is unique from type of road surface to time of day and weather conditions, so you it won’t get boring for a while. Besides that, there are also 3 medals to win on each track and you can compete for the best time on the track with other players thanks to the Online Leaderboards. Whether you are a SUV or muscle car type of person, you won’t be disappointed because there are 8 different cars to choose from. Each car has a colorful, stereotypical character to go with it. All cars have their strengths and weaknesses so it’s up to you to choose the perfect one for the job.
Even though the graphics aren’t that great, there are a lot of details in the way the cars interact with the game environment that makes up for it. There are lots of “hittable†objects, as well as dust flying from under your wheels as you drift around the track, the ability to fly off the track while getting some “air timeâ€, the dynamics of the cars and more. Great music and sounds, good graphics, smooth gameplay off- and online, A LOT of playing options, a very easy to understand menu structure and lots of fun details throughout the game make Reckless Racing worth the $4.99 price tag. Don’t forget about the future updates that have to do with new cars and tracks you will get for free.
