Way to encourage XBOX Live lameness. I'm here to tell you that this type of driving will get you booted in any respectable lobby. Real Racing is novel - gotta fix the crash bugs though.

Crashes? not a single one on my iTouch 1st gen. AI: far from perfect, but not to a point to ruin the game experience. Some problem while sych...50% of the times doesn't work at 1st try and have to redo it a few times. Curiosity: how does this video upload work? I always publish them from their website and it seems that after every race the reply is sent out to cloudcell...so a lot of data used...but I'm not sure since I use wi-fi on my touch. You cannot select which one you want to send and which not? Game it's awesome. Crashes? not a single one on my iTouch 1st gen. AI: far from perfect, but not to a point to ruin the game experience.

I just have a problem. i played the game career just normal but now when i finish the race it goes back to main menu(in the game) without saving results, so i am stuck and cannot progress further. it does say sometimes that i have a file error and i should sync, and i do it and it syncs ok, but then again not saving results. does anyone have any clues why is this happening? Thanks great game!

I find your comments a bit condescending. The game's AI is unrealistic; when I'm simply holding my line on a track, for example, in real life, or in other good sims (GTR Evo, GT2, rFactor, LFS, etc.), the other drivers simply will NOT crash into me for no good reason. McKinley is particularly bad – it's more bumpercar than racing car on that track. Incidentally, this isn't just a case of sour grapes; as of last night when I last checked, I was ranked 30th overall on CloudCell, and had times for at least 3 tracks in the top 5 “All Time Best” (my name on CloudCell differs from this one). I realize that there's definitely room for improvement there, but just wanted to point out that not all of us who dislike the AI are noobs who don't know anything about driving/racing. From the beginning I've been playing control method B, brake assist off, and generally really love the game. (It's the only thing even close to a pocketable racing sim.) But the AI issue is real, and annoying. A response to Killerwang comments above:

Also, those videos are low-quality, so I get no idea of the quality of the graphics when shown in motion, at a good quality. And I would also like to see the start-up screen(s) and menu-interactions.

And if you check forums and reviews, I'm not the only Touch user experiencing this problem. I guess you can consider yourself lucky ;) @TommyGunn88: are you dissing my Touch?? is that what's going on here?

(To all the people who have said in various posts that this game needs a mini map!) It has a practice lap option in the career mode and also a quick race option that provides practice- in addition to the time trial modes. Real Racing is a SIMULATION! There are no mini maps in real life. Memorizing the tracks is what adds to the realism/fun/difficulty. JUST SAY "NO!" TO MINI MAPS! NO NO NO NO!
