Pros and cons of 8 Bit Rally app for iPhone and iPad

8 Bit Rally app good for

Best oldschool game ever :) Very accurate realisation. The game 4 piece of minde! Would be nice to try with auto gas pedal in options, please! PS if u will reanimate "Retal" (8 bit old flysim) - then I am ready to pay ten bucks ;)
Ooooh its a very nice classic graphics game. For me it also looks like one of the 16-bit sega racing games. 8-bit usually has a more pixelated graphics. Dosent hang on my iphone and runs smoothly.
Really enjoy playing thid awesome game! Would like some more cars and Game Center integration :)
It reminds me of the good ol Amiga days, especially the catchy chip music. Very challenging (I just beat it on Championship), and I wouldnt change the gameplay one bit - this is the way old school racers play. Beating every race so you can upgrade your car as early as possible makes the game easier. Puchase as much nitro as you need to do this. Also, use the onscreen controls, not tilt.
Yeah, this is so great! Just like Top Gear back on the SNES all over again. This is a lot of fun. Great control, very tight, and precise. Lots of tracks, love the world map and the different atmosphere each track has. The music is fantastic, I think the game would be worth the price for that reason alone. One detail I would change would be the games icon to make it fit in more with the old 8bit style graphics. I almost passed up this game because the icon wasnt so interesting but I am very happy that I didnt. I think everyone who liked Top Gear would love this game.

Some bad moments

I open the game and, before I can do anything, it closes. I have a third generation iPod that is up to date. If they put out a fix soon I will update my rating--but I wont wait long. One week and I delete it! Waste of money at this point
Great music decent gameplay. Much akin to rad racer. ***Warning*** this game will crash at launch if your iPod music app is running. (had to give one less star bc of it)
Once you make it to the nighttime levels it becomes impossible to win so fix it.
I cant believe there arent more reviews for this game. The only possible explanation is that people dont know about it. Its a really fun game with a ton of replay value, due to its customizable car option. The game itself has a very retro feel like old school genesis racing titles. The controls are all tilt, which work absolute flawlessly. Even if this game gave the touch steering controls, I would use them. They are really tight. The sense of speed is great too. The price is a bit steep, but after rolling the dice, I was not disappointed at all. Enthusiastically recommended.
This is a great throwback to Segas Outrun with some fun updates like tilt steering and some car customizations!
Great game that is a throw back to Top Gear. Highly recommended!
