What Makes Reckless Racing HD Stand Out
THE BEST DOWN ‘N DIRTY RACER YOU EVER SAW! Made to maximize the Retina Display, the state-of-the-art visuals will make your eyes bug out as you skid, slip, and slide in traditional top-down racing style. Challenge your buddies in online multiplayer, and get ready to go. It’s the dirt-road racing game y’all been waiting for on iPhone, iPod touch & iPad!
LOOK WHAT THEY’RE SAYIN’
“…one of the coolest looking top-down racing games I've ever played.” (Eli Hoddap, Touch Arcade)
“The first thing that strikes home… is the sheer loveliness of the graphics… From sparkling streams… to large wooden churches looming up into the camera at the side of the worn dirt roads…” (Will Wilson, Pocket Gamer)
VISUAL QUALITY THAT’LL MAKE YOU SAY, “OOOWEEE!”
Designed from the get-go to with eye-popping graphic quality, the visual details will really make you feel like you’re rolling in the mud deep in the heart of Dixie. And get a load of how Reckless Racing looks with the Retina Display. Have mercy!
RACING FOR THE RECKLESS
Dirt track or asphalt, truck or rally car – take your choice and then take it to the limit. Learn the basics as a beginner and choose from a variety of driving controls. Get better with each race and move up through Bronze, Silver, and Gold difficulty levels.
CHOOSE YOUR VEHICLE AND TEST YOUR SKILLS
Adapt your race skills and push it across 5 amazingly detailed tracks. Race against rigs controlled by some outrageous in-game characters like Otis and Bubba! Unlock the reverse tracks and race ‘em again!
RACE IN 3 DIFFERENT MODES
Immerse yourself in the world of no-rules driving. Take on the Dirt Rally, Hot Lap time trial, or Delivery time trial. Beat other drivers or beat the clock. Either way, there’s a lot of Reckless Racing to do!
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Man this is nostalgia for us as we played this game nonestop on the iPod touch, was breaking records as our name was 2PR04U on the leaderboards! Can we please get the online back up & working!!! Miss racing with the other Pros like DAZZZ & RC ReeCe.
Wheres the online racers??? No one s there anymore!!! What happened.
Do we ERASE Wreckless Racing 2 or not??? And do we buy Wreckless Racing 3 we mean it is REALLY GOOD but it is not WRECKLESS RACING 1 GOOD!!!! Not everything needs to has to have A NICE COAT OF PAINT and that is what we like about WR 1 over WR 2. It is VERY DIRTY in ALL ASPECTS and we love that Including the music.. This game JUST SCREAMS SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MUDDIN HOLE.
This game was our childhood, we will forever love this game.
We remember playing this game years ago on a iPad 1 and it just as good as we remembered it this is our favorite car game ever thanks for updating it so It can be played on newer devices.
Downloaded app, game wont open.
No servers. No option for local multiplayer.
Just bought the game on our iPhone X. Love it! Please add screen support for the iPhone X.
Don't work iphone 4 ios 7.1.2.
We owned this game well over 10 years ago & it was the very best game! We got soooo many people to get it & we had parties whered we get together & race eachother! We just recently purchased it again & everything is fine except our left turning button takes about 2 seconds for it to respond thus creating an impossible race to win & its not very inspiring. We deleted it & down loaded it again but to no prevail. We moved the buttons around, Ive tried everything but it still takes about 2 seconds to lite up on the left turn button. The right turning works fine. Please help because this isnt playable.
It's a good top-down racer amd has great details in its sceneries.
This game–along with the original Reckless Getaway–are so ridiculously superior to their sequels that it's hard to believe they are all made by Pixelbite. Reckless Racing didn't need faster cars. It didn't need to be less dirty. It didn't need a change of theme. It most DEFINITELY did not need a different game engine, where all the cars have no personality and no weight-shifting animation. It didn't need anything that people thought it needed; the sequels only ever required more of the same. What has become of Reckless Getaway is, sadly, not a surprise. Reckless Racing 1. Reckless Getaway 1. Space Marshals 1 and 2. The End.
The game is very good but when we try in multiplayer option the game close immediately.
Still works great! But… Could you fix icon after all these years, Reckless R… Too say, Reckless HD or something, we mean it already says Reckless Racing on the app.
We have a steel series controller for iPad and this game does not work with it disappointed.
