Ekona Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Under no circumstances should anyone who is a fan of motor racing go and buy this game from the App Store. If you do, I can guarantee that you'll end up having to charge your phone three times in one day because you can't put the bloody thing down! Honestly, this is utterly addictive stuff and for the meagre sum of £2 it can be yours as well. If you have an iDevice and like racing then this is a must buy, I've genuinely spent most of the day on mine. It's like a cutesy RPG but with pretty serious motor racing undertones with quality management designs. You need to balance spending money on cars, on upgrades, on staff, on upgrading your staff, on upgrading parts or cars etc as well as deciding which and how many races you want to enter but needing to keep your car repaired between races. Oh, and there's also the need to attract sponsors and sort out driver contracts too! That's makes it sound more difficult than it actually is, when what it really is is a whole lot of fun. Go buy.

Ekona Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 No-one purchased this today? No-one? Well, I finally completed the Asia championship and am now onto the full Formula 1 championship, and am getting thrashed every race: Now I know what HRT feel like...! Quote
TomS Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I just bought their other game, Game Dev Story. Remember hearing about it ages ago so thought I'd grab it. Good so far but after playing the demo for an hour it says "buy the full version now", which you do, but then you have to start again Will definitely be getting this in a few days, had £50 of Apple vouchers given to me when I left my job a few weeks ago, time put them to good use!

sasha@lazytrips Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 downloaded. report to follow. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I loved Game Dev Story!!! Might get this too EDIT: Looked at screenshots, liked them, purchased Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I hate you Dan Struggling to win Formula Asia. Buggy doesnt seem to play well with a V12... Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm confused by why I keep not being able to research any new cars. Stuck with the supercar which just doesn't quite seem to cut it in Formula no. 1. I reckon we should have a Top Laps list on the original Bloomtown circuit so that everybody can participate. If you get a better time, the list can be updated as and when. I'll kick off with: 1. Sasha - 26.52 Quote
manphibian Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 i've downloaded this, but not had chance to try it yet.... i only seem to get time for games when i'm at work Quote
Clarkie Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 For those of us with proper phones, the game is also available on Android 27.50 - for bloomburg (ive been playing non stop at work, thank goodness for usb charging in vehicles) Quote
CaptainSensible Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Ha ha, glad I'm not the only one with this guilty little secret! Trying to crack Formula No One but am useless on the ice track! Quote
Ekona Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 For those of us with proper phones with unresponsive screens and a convoluted app store, the game is also available on Android Fixed, and I've edited the title too. Have just unlocked the Kairo race, so once I've finished the GP I'm currently in I'm going to give it a shot but it's supposed to be rock hard. Quote
Walbertonio Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 What a corker. Spent near all weekend playing this! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Kairoland is very difficult, really struggle to finish in top 5 Quote
Ekona Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 I got 2nd place first go, but that was with a gold aura and a fully maxed Mach car. I think I need to make a new one under an aura and try again. Quote
Daryl Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Looked at this the other day,and considered buying it,glad its worth it. Im sure my Mrs will be well impressed that there is another game to divert my attention from her! Quote
Dblock Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I loved Game Dev Story!!!Might get this too EDIT: Looked at screenshots, liked them, purchased + 1 Game dev story was amesome! Just got this too Quote
Wasso Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Kairo race complete after many attempts finishing time was I think 1:10s Also got a nice time on Bloomtown Quote
geoff-r Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Uh oh, just downloaded this game, I can see me wasting a huge amount of time on it Quote
AK350Z Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I've bought it too, it's very addictive. Quote
manphibian Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Raped my entire battery playing this at work today Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Which car are you using Wasso? I can only make a regular Mach car, not a magnificent one, even tho my Tech is over 500... Quote
Ekona Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Protip: When making the top cars, parts or upgrading any of the above, only do it when you have an Aura to use. I didn't know that when I first started playing so I could never make a car that would win the Kairo race, so I had to start again Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Dan, would you Aura on a group part install or aura single parts only? Quote
