Drift Mania Street Outlaws Pro Reviews

Developer Rat Rod's third title in the Drift Mania series is a departure from the traditional "track circuit", and takes the format back to the origins of drift: the downhill mountain pass. ____________________________________________ The most notable improvements are with the overall presentation. Although the graphics are not much improved upon from the last title, which were miles better than it's predecessor, the varying scenery of the open road is a noticeable and welcomed difference. ____________________________________________ Another noticeable improvement is a greater attention to detail. E.g., a driver in the driver seat, an upgraded cinematic replay mode, which now can be shared over social media, the ability to change the color of any rim, the return of a few cars from the first title, as well as some new models, just to name a few. ____________________________________________ The controls and gameplay has had virtually no change at all, and as in previous titles, hardcore drift purists will cry foul at the complete lack of true counter steering. Think, low end r/c drift car handling. Battles are also not scored like Formula-D, which may be just too difficult to execute properly. ____________________________________________ Make no mistake, this is an arcade game. It's challenging enough to take the everyday average gamer a few tries to get used to, yet is simple enough for an 11yr old to play and have fun. If the drifting physics were more authentic, and therefor more difficult, it would not be as appealing to younger gamers. All in all, a great app, and one of the best drifting games in the AppStore. It's just not for everyone.

For 99c the game is a great deal. I've been a fan of the series since the last game and I spend a good amount of time playing that game. This new game is even better in my opinion, but there are minor issues that the devs should fix. The Good: - Better selection of cars including rx7, supra, and skyline inspired. - No ugly liveries like in the previous game. - Togue and street tracks make a great change up from previous game - Fair amount of in-game $ is earned through races. The Bad: - Soundtrack. (can be muted and own music can be selected, though) - Song titles pop up on bottom of screen during race, even when music is muted. This causes FPS drop and is visually distracting. NEEDS FIX. - Overall higher CPU usage presumably from the more graphically rich environments. Unlike the previous game, I've noticed random FPS drops while playing on iPad Mini. - Multiplayer connection loss. Although I've only tried a few times, the multiplayer races that i've managed to join have been incredibly laggy and I was disconnected quickly The Verdict: If you enjoy drifting or have played the previous drift mania games, you'll certainly enjoy this. Hopefully these minor issues will be sorted out soon as improvements and fixes would enhance the game.
