TouchArcade Rating:

It isn’t a secret or a surprise that Nintendo sees sales boosts and more people get into its hardware ecosystem through mobile games like Pokémon GO and Super Mario Run. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (Free) recently released across the world and it has made an impact in Japan on sales for the massively popular 3DS game, Animal Crossing: New Leaf already. On the Media Create weekly sales charts, Animal Crossing: New Leaf was boosted to the 9th position from 19th the week before. It saw a 214% increase over the week.

      Pretty much the same as you there !

      I am not a racing fan to begin with myself.... but this game got its teeth in me, I am HOOKED.

      This game is my game of the year so far on mobile, it's that good.

      It's more like game of the year, iOS needs far more games like this. I would love to see Dirt ported over next 😃

      Ashpalt 8 Airborne is lose to this one surely this one was amazing like a AAA game from console... better than ever

    6. Aegis 02

      Real Racing 3 Too much disappoinment and very negative about iap overloaded thing.... but honest the offline was very tricky it was good one compared to this one i think... Grid and RR3 was same enough but RR3 too much iap...

      Very well Grid has won this year

      This is a console quality game that lives up to the hype and more. I’m no racing fan but I enjoy this game because it’s the right mix of difficult but still fun. I like that races take skill and patience and every race feels different because the computer drivers are aggressive and one bad mistake will cost you a race so the tension is always high.

      I hope this makes Ferral a tonne of money and they bring more AAA games to iOS! This game (and the quality of the port) is an absolute masterpiece!
