Bloodhound SSC – Racing Game Review
Bloodhound SSC is a Racing/Education game from Laminar Research, first launched in 23rd July 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 11+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Bloodhound SSC Stand Out
I don't advise you to drive ONE THOUSAND MILES PER HOUR, but if you ever DO want to.. well… then THIS is the car to do it in.
The people of the Bloodhound Programme , Ltd, are building an interesting car.
This car, designed to go over one THOUSAND miles per hour, uses a Cosworth racing V-8 engine… to TURN ONE OF THE FUEL PUMPS.
This car uses an after-burning fighter-jet engine… for THE LOW-SPEED PORTION OF THE RUN.
Truly breaking every rule of convention, the Bloodhound seeks to exceed one THOUSAND miles per hour… with a driver on board, steering it through the desert.
This App, by Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, is no game.
This is a REALISTIC representation of what it will be like to drive this car… undoubtedly the FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD.
If you can master the Bloodhound in this App, then you will actually be familiar with the operating characteristics of the real car.
This Racing game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game is a blast except the forward view glitches for no reason and only shows the sky so you cant see the blue line you are to follow. Shutting the game down does not reset the issue. Also, when it does work right and you make it through the gates at over 1000mph, you see the record is over 24 million mph. This game could be great fun if the developers cared a little bit. We would like our .99 cents back.
This game is really fun. The game needs updates such as thrust effects and you should be able to control from any angle and please add 3rd person view. We would give this game 5 stars if it had these changes.
Unless some pretty drastic updates are made this game is not playable. When driving, you must control the vehicle from the cockpit. But you cannot see the lines you're supposed to stay between while in the cockpit, so you can never finish a full run. Please update, it has the potential to be a cool game.
This is one of those, "OK, just one more try" kind of games. It's all about fine steering control and timing the activation of the different vehicle systems. Follow the blue line. Activate the systems (jet, afterburner, rocket-1, rocket-2) at the proper times or speeds. The external views are almost superfluous: if you have time for sightseeing you're not going fast enough. We'd give it five stars if the control panel didn't disappear through the gates. That makes it difficult to monitor the systems to optimize your run. It does look cool, though.
Out the window view on iPad mini does not work. You can't see the ground. On iPhone 6 the second stage button doesn't work.
