Community Insight:
These game is so much fun ivan thou it Little hared.
Awesome game our friend yousef had a game like this and we wanted it and we searched for racing games and found this and it was even better so we rate 5 stars.
Fun game! Spend a couple of bucks for upgrades. Geez they have to make a living.
Music adds to the fun of this game.
Love the game can't stop playing.
The tilt controls work well, it feels fun and its free. What's not to love.
This game is really addictive and has good graphics, would recommend for the iPad as well.
VERY GOOD & challenging game! Keep playing it over & over & over solo on & so on.
This is indubidably the best game ive seen in a while.
Really one if the best games we've ever played. Not only racing but strategy is needed as well.
Fast-paced and exciting! Recommend 100%! Can't beat it for free.
Not an original concept but we consider this to the best type of Mobil game. Great.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Best racer game we've ever played. What next is in store for us.
We've played the Playstation game series "WipEout", and we've gotta say, this game is somewhat identical to it. Great game.
Great responsive tilt control and good gameplay.
Fast and beautiful game with easy tilt controls, its what that we like! Great.
Awesome game this is the best for .99.
Awesome graphics, cool ships, fast racing action. Great deal for .99 cents.
It's a great game and all, but we hate those stupid red blocks.
It's almost perfect but it needs an easier way to collect credits sorry no 5 star until we play this over our other apps. But we do recommend it to those who like syfi and racing.
Although we're not a fan of the fact it requires a lot of points to do many things we see potential as both how it is and being adapted into a multiplayer raceing game.
Nice game! But not the best game we would say this game is a 4 or 5 1/2.
Even without pay, can continue playing the course. As long we use easy money.
It's simple and fast. Easily let's you fall into a zone and gain a great sense of speed, though you should be able to earn more per race though, takes forever to save up.
It's pretty good it'd be better it you could race others.
Great game but force closes every little bit and needs more ships.
We had an iPad 1st gen that ran it awesomely! It was a great game! But then we replaced it with an iPad Air, and now it will not let us install from it still being 32-bit. Please, update it to 64-but so we can play some more.
The game is pretty fun but you really have to get good at it to want to keep playing.
Can you please fix the perks, we just wasted all our money on them. Then it'd be a great game.
We think this is a great game and has potential. The controls are good and the graphics are fine but gaining points without in app purchases is a pain which makes moving on near impossible sometimes.
Really like it but the orbs cost too much. Plus it's really fast after awhile. So we think you should get it! Also really good graphics.
Good game, but you earn cash SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fu*king SLOOW.
This game creates a fun, adrenalin- filled experience, however, this adrenalin, as well as the interest in the game, lasts for a very short period of time. The game can become boring very quickly.
The game looks nice, and is pretty easy and fun to play, but good god the ads and cheesy pop ups, we would gladly pay for an ad free version of this game.
We got bored quickly. Hate the in-app formula that these games employ.
Great game at first, but after the first few levels you realize you'll never make it without in-app purchases to upgrade your jet. It's clearly designed as a money-pit.
What's going on? Kions are hard to get and the last time that we bought a perk it took our kions away snd didn't give us anything. It's a nice game but if we it is going to take our kions away, we don't see the point of playing it.
We want to play this game but the iOS is to old for our iPod. Please update.
At first the game worked for us…but now when we turn it on, it immediately shuts down. :(.
As much as the graphics are great, after the first few rounds we realized this is not a game for us. It was too hard to maneuver and we kept hitting every stupid red block there was. It gives you very little kions and really, in our eyes, not worth the time and effort. Play for hours for what? A better craft to keep racing? Nah, we'd rather play something else. Thanks but no thanks. We play games to relax, not stress out. Got life to do that for us.
Gets very boring very quickly. Need to buy in app money to advance to the next mission that looks very much the same as the previous missions.
We downloaded this on our IPod and every time we try to race it keeps crashing So please fix this crashing crap! It's so annoying. Please prevent this from happening on an update.
It worked well when we were on iOS 5 but now nice updated to iOS 6.1.2 it can't get past the boot screen without crashing. We hope to see iOS 6 support in the near future.
We got the app cuz it looks like a realy cool app but after we tryed to play it it just crashed over and over again. Seems like it should be a cool app but we CANT EVEN US IT.
Low grav racer 2 is way way better, and that's not even sayin much.
Does not work Itouch 4 iOS 5.1.
Love this game! We can play it forever without getting bored…amazing graphics too, WOW.
Graphic, soundtrack And gameplay is fun. If you never played any of the Wipeout games on the PS3, PSP or PS Vita; those games are the real deal. This game is not bad for being a clone and gives the casual gamer a chance to play alongside a more hardcore gamer. With this being said, it is great to play a couple of rounds when at the Dr. Office or just stuck with family members on reunion.
Awesome graphics for the iPhone.
