Community Insight:
It is a GREAT TOP DOWN RACER our ONLY ISSUSE is that if you upgrade your car FULLY some of the RACE CUPS are NOT RACE-ABLE AT ALL now we REALLY DO NOT CARE either way we are just going to save up for THE LAMBORGHINI and ALL OF THE UPGRADES and call it a day. But MOST PEOPLE dont have THE TIME OR PATIENCE TO MIX AND MATCH PARTS So they can race just one PARTICULAR CUP just one time.. The game IS GREAT but not getting to RACE EVERY TRACK LAYOUT probably BUMS A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT. But this was $3.00 well spent; solid game Pixelbit; also Really diggin the MAIN MENU MUSIC.
The 3rd one is just a lazy try. This game is awesome in all aspects. You wont regret.
Why is there an upper power limit in the career mode? That is completely unnecessary. Just let us race in the lower tier races at a decreased reward rate, like -40% reward for using a higher power car than the suggestion states. Because we feel like this is used to balance the abilities of the AI based on your cars power level, which is lame. In other words, when you cant pass the competition, why have the ability to upgrade past them? In other words, we feel like our being able to upgrade to a slightly higher power than the AIs shouldnt feel so underwhelming due to the fact that now you just have to upgrade your car more, or buy a new one all together because you cant race the ones you were racing before. Finale: if the opponents cars cane be higher level than you, but you never have the chance to be the highest, you will always be outperformed because of power restrictions. The point of progress, is to be better. You cant be better, when you arent allowed to exercise your progress on the previous problem. Im getting monotonous here, but its not without reason. Please change this.
Absolutely amazing game. For us, it was a trip down memory lane since we loved this game when we were super young. Well made.
Its a great game but a minor issue with the gas. It will stop working for a second but besides that its fine. Its a one purchase and thats it no IAP or anything,plus,its easy to make money in. All around its just perfect and better than 3 or 1.
Truly a very addictive racing sim game.
Best racing on iPhone, period. They did their best with the iPhone X update – a few controls could be scooched a bit, but very happy overall.
Please add controller support for reckless 1 & 2 (steelseries nimbus) playing Reckless 3 with a controller is so fun and we would love to have that experience on the other games.
Why would yall take away multiplayer we know the game is old but it was fun racing against people rather than cpu.
No option to play multiplayer – requesting refund.
We love this game! So many cars and customizations make you feel in control.
We enjoyed it and they also have many different cars and customization options.
It's a good game but Can we please waste money on this game!! Please! Our car is slow and we need a faster car but we don't have enough money in this game.
Great game when it works. On the iPhone 8 the screen comes up and cuts in half. You cant get past the character select because the key board is off and wont allow you to put a name in. We really hope this is fixed because we do like the game.
Game cannot be played without an update. The game does not register our touch. When we are choosing a name the game does not register us pressing enter so we are stuck on the that screen and cant get out or play game.
Great game, but doesnt scale properly to the iPhone 8 screen for some reason. This wasnt a problem with the iPhone 7 (same screen size).
On iphone eight its stretched out and you have to press a letter down to enter the letter so you cant even hit the enter button, we cant start the game.
The game UI doesnt work on iPhone 8 Plus. You cant click on the buttons to even start the game as the UI is not aligned properly. We dont know if there will be an update to fix this. We love this game on Android, too bad it doesnt work on our iPhone.
Sound doesn't work (iPhone 4 ios 7.1.2).
Sound does not work. IPhone 7 plus iOS 10.
Come on. Gimme a break. No sound.
No sound on iPhone 6s running the latest 10.3.2 iOS. And we will never be a fan of on-screen controls. Otherwise this is a perfectly executed iso racer. Love the art and feel.
No sound in the game on ipad3 running 9.3.5. Neat gameplay and interesting car customizations possible, but extremely (almost impossibly) hard to beat the top AI racer in each race while being too easy to beat all of the other AI racers; nice idea but poor implementation of the automatically-adjusting difficulty setting. And… No sound.
In the game no sound at all….. Please fix.
Could be a good game, but we may never know because there is no audio at all. Deleted after 5 minutes because we could not get into the game without any sound.
Cool enough game but sound does not work.
Controls are easy to learn. All sorts of things to do. Cups, arcade, normal. More modes. Every thing you would want in a racing game. Get it now.
To the reviewer who wrote that the on-screen control buttons are now in the way of gameplay: Go to options and move them where you like! There are also other control methods available, including tilt. We have a 6s Plus and this is still a great game.
Reckless 1 was ok but too limited. We're reluctant to try no 3 because of all the negative reviews. But Pixelbite got everything right in no 2. It is, in our opinion, the best racing game EVER. The graphics are remarkable. Handling is great. Flawless and fun. We don't know why so many had crashing problems – no problems on our mini 2. It's close to being the perfect game. Wait a minute! After iOS 9, we're having the same problem – game crashes back to the home screen. What a shame. Pay no attention to the glowing review above. We revise our 5 stars to 1. If we could give 0 we would, cause the game's no good to us if we can't play. Deleting. Revising again: reloaded and we're delighted to say it works now. All is forgiven. You're still the best and back to 5 stars. And we have no 3 now. It's good too.
Very enjoying game but no major updates since more than 2 years or so.
The accelerator and brakes are set on the half of the screen and not close to the edge. It's impossible to drive like this. The steering controls are in the correct spot.
Tried all the controls and they all were lousy.If you have to work hard to adjust to the controls then the controls are lousy.
The game is super fun and very addicting but the game crashes every single time we open the app…. The game crashes and we had to start over the progress we had made and it has done this multiple times we have the newest version of IOS 8 and it still does this can someone please fix this but the game is the best racing game ever just fix the crashes so we can play the game.
Download this rr and not the other ones.
Ok, that was easy! Any mores tracks or races coming in an update?? Also, RR2 was a little more fun how you could build the car with engine options. Maybe you combine RR2 and RR3 to make RR4. This game is great, reminds us of Super Sprint from when we were younger.
We just got this game and when ever we play it it will freeze and take us to the home screen.
Love this game! We come back to it time and again. The first game is great in its own right. Wish we were able to scale buttons as our finger often "slips off" accelerator or hits wrong steering direction. Also does occasionally crash on our 6 plus.
We originally bought this game back when it came out we don't know how long ago. When we say RR3 PPP up on the storefront we decided this would be fun to install and play again, especially on our new iPhone 6 Plus. The last time we played was on an iPhone 4. So, at first it was perfect. Game ran smooth and it looked incredible. But as of recent, which is less than a day later and probably half way through the career, we can't even get through a race or upgrading a car before it just crashes back to the home screen. We've thought about just giving up. Uninstalling, or just buying the new RR3. But, our fear is that if this tried and true game doesn't work. Why would we want to buy the new one. Fix the crashes and this game gets 5 stars, because that is what it deserves.
This game is only ok. Soooo much worse than the original Reckless Getaway. Why go this route. Ugh.
Not a terrible game but the physics are awful.
We re downloaded this app because we loved it so much back when it was first released. Now it crashes in the middle of the race every time without fail. Unplayable. Do not buy this game.
Keeps crashing in middle of races. Too bad, looked and felt good.
Can't even finish 1 race before crashing! When fixed will rate 5 again! Long time fan, don't let us down.
We used to play this game a lot. We LOVED the way it does drifting. After being disappointed with the 3rd game we thought Id come back and enjoy this one. Nope, frame rate is now really choppy. We guess it doesnt work well with retina resolution? Real bummer :(.
This game is tops… Or rather would be if it didn't crash on our ipad mini 15-20 seconds into each race. No… That's not frustrating at all. Where is RR1 btw??? Can anyone recommend any other top-down racers? We're through with Pixelbite. They used to be a contedaarrhhh. Now: hogwarsch.
When we start a race it crashes EVERY TIME! We'd like to play what we paid for. We use an ipod touch 4G.
This is Tom from P-Town. Just want to say this game is GEM of a racer it's fun and challenging at the same time. Thanks from Tom.
This is one of the best racers we've played on iOS. The controls are spot-on, and fully customizable. In-app purchases easily go unnoticed, in other words, it's not hard to earn money and advance just by playing the game. We've gotten our money's worth out of this one for sure. Great job, guys.
Please please put we're some sort of a time trial thing where there aren't any other cars to run into. We wanna get fast times and all but we keep running into the slow cars.
Just got our new iPhone 6 and excited we get to relive this game again. Everything about it is perfect. By far the best top down racer on iOS. Looks great on our iPhone 6.
