I agree. While I liked reckless racing it wasn't great and I've downloaded and deleted it a few times. Where as with this it's really fun and easy to play, I can't see me deleting this.
This game is beast. Really, who makes up these phrases? Anyway... The courses in this game are outstanding. Anything to do with rain, I'm there. I just wish there were tornadoes and floods to race through. I digress. But really, the stages are fantastic. And I love how there's a music track to fit each one of them. What I find truly amazing, though, is how the camera is set just right. The camera is the true winner here, folks. Well, along with the steering wheel control scheme, which I found infuriating, at first. But after a few races was in love with. The enemy AI is very Mario Kart 150cc-ish, which compliments Mario Kart 7 nicely. This way, after playing for hours on-line with MK7 I can jump into a game of Mini Motor with little to no hassle. The amount of cars is nice, as well. But I must admit I'm still on car one. I want to maximize its potential, y'see. Anyway, I can only wonder how this already-beautiful-on-my-iPhone4 game looks on a 4S/iPad 2. Only thing missing is a story mode. Don't hate.
Yeah those night/rain levels are awesome. So many games get that combo hideously wrong but in MMR they're my favourites of the bunch.
I have to say that after putting some time into this today I'm blown away. Its the best game of this type I have played on ios by a long chalk. The IAP that some are worried about is about as unobtrusive as it gets so I would dive right in if that's your worry.
I had crashes where completed race was remembered and where it was erased from the game. A bit of stuttering in menus as well. This game badly needs optimisations which dev said were in the pipeline. The gameplay is a lot of fun otherwise. I do feel that a vehicle should slide a bit more around the corners instead of getting the front wheels firmly stuck to the track with back wheels fishtailing, but its something I can get used to. I think that I will avoid playing it for now, untill the fixes are released. I don't like the feeling of not being sure whether the completed race is going to register or not. In case anyone wonders, I did restart my ipod touch 4G with latest iOS before playing.
i love this game, but everytime i restart the app and open it again, my cars are still there, but all my monEy and the tracks i've already passed are gone D: is this normal? D:
On turbo cup grand prix (rev) 6 laps, the steering is way off. I've reset my device, killed all processes and restarted the app several times and the steering wheel is about 90 degrees off. I'm using an iphone 4s, just a heads up. I can't even get a lap under 30 seconds with it being so far out of whack.
Ok well i am stuck now. I cannot beat or place the one level i mentioned above. I've tried several steering options and none of them work the way they should. Its really bad and until its fixed i can't progress through the game. I can't get within even a minute of first place as it is now. I've gotten gold on every track so far but this one track is impossible. Please take a look at it asap.
Thanks for all your support guys! We're really so excited that people are enjoying the game with all the effort that went into developing it! The new update should address this issue...it seems to be a fringe case with iCloud support. Also a known bug which has been fixed in the coming update. I now it's frustrating, but try switching to one of the other controls for that one race... The achievement bug, screen orientation and dozens of other fixes have also been addressed in the update (even some new content!). We're just running it through final testing now and hope to submit to Apple within a few hours! We sincerely appreciate the patience of those experiencing some crashing and/or bug issues while we patch things up. With a bit of luck the update will be with you all very soon! - Ingmar
Ok cool. I have tried it with the other controls but those seem off too. Maybe i'm just not used to them but they don't seem to be as nearly as responsive as the wheel. I'll give it another go later on.
I'm finding more bugs and quirks in the further i progress in the game. I've gone back and played some of the earlier tracks and those seem to play just fine. Hope they get fixed soon, otherwise its a great game. Easy to jump in and out of.
Don't know how feasible replays are, but I'd love for them to some day be included. Also, would you guys ever think about including weather effects in the other levels? Would love to see rain elsewhere. And snow. And tsunamis. What about scripted events? LOL. SUCH a terrific game. Not perfect (the stuttering and steering issues drag it down a notch), but still a terrific product. Never mind snow, I see the Christmas levels provide an ample amount of flakes. These will stay in the game even after the holidays, right?
This is one game that NEEDS online play! If it can be done for RR and other similar titles, this is the only barrier preventing this from being more fantastic than it already is.
Mario kart 7 on 3ds blows everything iOS has to offer out the water.. Nintendo at its very best Oh yeah, and the 3ds has real buttons and an analogue stick.... No matter how good on screen controls are... U can't beat real buttons If apple really want to make the iOS a genuine hardcore gamers pocket console of choice.. Then they need to add a slide out control pad like the Xperia play.. As for IAP... iOS gamers are to blame for the increase in IAP... As so many idiots out there have gotten used to paying 69p for a game... If devs all got together and charged more and stopped dropping their prices during sales... Then all iOS gamers would be used to paying just a little more for their games .. And nobody would be complaining
So how do I get the iCloud syncing to work? I bought the iPhone and iPad versions of the game but I'm not seeing the progress I made on my iPhone show up on the iPad.
It has probably been said already but my backwheel sometimes changes colour and the intro is quite bad quality... Other than that I'm really enjoying the game, great job devs!
