is it just my version... but after rome the sky is only half way up the screen on all tracks after that one!.

the earlier tracks are fine though.

maybe an update will fix it.

Both Rome and Hawaii have messed up skies. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Also, does the internet play only work for people on the same wireless network? Or is it some huge network in which people can play each other from all over? (Which would be currently down.)

Also, is Need for Speed really coming to the iPhone? If so, when?
 
Great game. But when I play multiplayer, 95% of the time one of us gets a "connection lost" message. Don't know why. We're on a high power wireless router here. Sucks tho.
 
Can anyone get Vs to work. I cannot get past the betting screen. and also once you get gold in all the levels you cannot place again nor make anymore money, do i have that right.
 
Doing VS is obvious. Just select a bet, click back, hit the race tab, and hit Race. All there is to it. Got 100% in the game on my third day. I've never gotten anything lower than 1st place, the game is so easy.
 
Almost through the game, and short of a few crashes, this one was worth every cent. Might be dated to some, but I think the dev team did a great job putting this together.
 
Now here is a really dumb question, and I know it so there's really no point in flaming me. Also, I'm 77 years old, so I've heard it all!:rolleyes:

I've had no problem in running this game on my first generation iphone, and the graphics are great. Nevertheless, I can't figure out what the game actually is, which is why I agree with the posters here that a good demo would help. It's described as a racing game, but racing doesn't really seem to be the object. In a race, one tries to go at top speed, and this means avoiding collisions. You apparently can't go far in this game with mere speed. Are you supposed to hit other cars? If so, which cars should you hit and which cars should you avoid? What else should you do other than go fast?

Thats an excellent point. I too found it pointless, but my 5 yr old son enjoys it so I guess it's not a total loss.

Hit the other racers to get "takedowns" (take them out of the race) which builds up your nitro so you can then go faster, avoid all other traffic.

I don't actually have the game but from other similar games i believe that's how it works.

There are five different types of races:

  • Race - Goal is to be first
  • Duel - You bet money against one other car to be first
  • Cop Chase - You're the cop (with a flashing red light and annoying siren) and you have to knock out the first place "bad guy" (with the skull 'n bones above the car)
  • Cash Attack - You get money for jumps, knocking out other cars, etc.
  • Beat 'Em All - You have to run six other cars off the road

I've really loved playing this game over the past week and a half. It has a ton of cars to earn and drive through the various cities. Personally, it's the best game I've played on the iPhone and don't regret forking over the $10 for it.
