Can't say enough good things – Rush Rally 2 Review

Compared to the other rally games on iOS this is outstanding. Graphics and sound are both good (not amazing), control, physics and car setup options are very good. The fact that there are no in-app purchases is excellent -- I appreciate that and like the fact that this is a very small developer. I honestly would have paid more for this, or paid to unlock regions as IAPs even though I dislike IAPs. I love that there's an in-cockpit view, can't stand racing from behind the car. Having two fully-functioning rear-view mirrors is a nice touch, although it's a little silly in the full rally (more useful in rally cross). The lack of manual shifting which is universally an issue with all iOS racing games is handled well, I don't actually miss it. It'd still be nice if someone could figure out a control scheme that enabled this in a way that works! Graphics, sound, and most importantly control and physics -- basically everything -- are much better than either WRC or Colin McRae. If you like rally racing, this is the game you want. Couple of minor issues: 1. the gravity seems a little light, the car is a little floaty. Maybe just because I'm still on the first level of car though? 2. Attract mode is odd, not sure why that exists in a mobile game (plus it's been unlocking achievements for me -- if it shows a race in Germany, I get the Germany achievement :) ) 3. Graphics detection set my graphics to middle of the road (on a 5s) but turning them all all the way up doesn't cause any framerate loss that I can see. 4. Engine sounds are a little overpowering, I'd prefer the balance to be shifted so that I could hear the tire/road sounds more clearly since those are very important handling cues in the absence of vibration or force feedback. 5. It doesn't respect the hardware mute switch. I know Apple ignores it when playing video, but everything should respect that switch. If I have it muted, it's because I don't want it to make any sounds... I'll plug in headphones or unmute it if I want sound.
