Appletell previews Firemint’s RealRacing for iPhone, iPod touch

Racing games; there sure are a lot of them, and the iPhone is no exception. But Firemint’s Real Racing could be different. It’s a beautiful racing game with controls that are spot on, considering the current iPhone button (or lack there of) situation. This game shows a lot of promise for its debut on the App Store.

I’ve had a chance to preview Firemint’s Real Racing, and I can say that it is amazing thus far. The controls are great, even for novices like myself. All you really have to do is steer; the game will accelerate and decelerate intelligently for you. Of course, there’s an option for this, so you can do as little or as much as you like. With the default controls there’s only one thing you can do: brake. And that’s fine. Because it’s a racing game, you’re going to accelerate every chance you get, right? Well, unless you hate winning.

Here’s a trailer; don’t drool on your keyboard.

I anticipate this game being very popular when it drops on the App Store. It has the main thing people are looking for in a racing game…great graphics. What, did you think I was going to say fun racing? It has that too.

Look for a full review when Real Racing makes its appearance on the App Store.
