Real Racing 2, the sequel to Real Racing, is an evolutionary step for the franchise and remains to be the best racing experience on the iPhone. The all-new career mode has you earning cash and reputation by completing races. Using the money that you have earned, you can purchase cars from the library of 30 licensed vehicles, including cars from BMW, Ford, Jaguar, Nissan, Volkswagen, and more. There are some limited options to upgrade your car, such as improving the handling, acceleration, and top speed by a few increments. It won't compare to Gran Turismo or Forza, but is incredibly robust for an iPhone game.
The largest addition, however, is the 16-player online multiplayer. It works pretty well for the most part, but I haven't been able to get into any 16-player matches, mostly racing against 7-8 other people. The one gripe I have is that you can take your car from the career mode and race it online. This is cool for people who can invest the time to unlock the best cars, but for people like who is still sporting the VW GTI, we are at a distinct disadvantage.
The game looks great, the cars are very well modeled (cockpit view for all cars, btw), and the environments feel real. The $10 price tag might be a bit much for people, but if you are looking for a solid racing experience on the iPhone, look no further.
