Maybe people from the jailbreak world could shed some light on it. There are some early versions on youtube.

I tell ya, why don't companies release videos, I'd probably would have bought it if they actually showed the gameplay. What looks different than most games so far is the road can be angled and hills that go up and down causing jumps. Plus, it's nice that they went with $7.99 instead of the standard $9.99 for these type of games. Also what gets me is no mention of number of cars or tracks.

Some quote from their website:

The primary strengths of Raging Thunder, and the aspects we ourselves are most proud of, is its immersive gameplay mechanics, its responsive, precise controls and its rich, beautiful graphics. It is a game for everyone to ‘pick up and play’, for ten minutes or for two hours, but one that evolves as players progress. We want Raging Thunder to create an itch in players that only ‘finishing that next race’ can scratch. Increasing difficulty, unlockable features and a dynamic game world offers replayability and guarantees that the game stays fresh.

Touch Arcade also just posted about it as I made mine:

Found another video on the Polarbit site: http://polarbit.com/rtmovies.html

It looks pretty good, but I'm gonna wait on a few reviews before I take the plunge.

Thanks for the video. I wonder, does the game have sound? The jailbreak versions did not from the youtube vids, and now all their game trailers at veoh don't have sound. But according to Veoh, that trailer is 4 months old.

How do they expect us to buy it with so little info. There's no mention of gameplay modes, tracks, cars, etc.

The videos look pretty cool. Anybody payed this yet?

I was just about to post about this game. It doesn't look nearly as good as Asphalt 4 Elite Racing, which I own. Maybe it won't crash as often??

looks a little boring. racing seems very robotic, not like a real car, and it's basically like any other boring racer. bring on need for speed already so we can have a challenge.

If it's a challenge you're after, I think Raging Thunder will be right up your alley. The question is, have you got what it takes... punk?

Just bought it and had a quick go. Really like it.

I prefer it to Asphalt - which always felt like a half-arsed port.

Just got it and love it. Graphics looks much more polished that Asphalt 4 and smoother also. It's definitely worth the buy.

I prefer Asphalt. Game play on this seems a little slow..

does anyone know how many levels are on it? One of the review pointed out that since the program is only 2.8mb, that there probably isn't that many levels.

It would give me an idea of replay value.
