Dinsun Review
The title says 'Real,' but the physics say 'Arcade Cabinet from 2005.' It’s another one of those dime-a-dozen racing games on the App Store that uses high-res car models to mask a very basic driving engine. The cars feel like they’re pivoting on a single point in the center rather than actually having tires on pavement.
It’s not terrible—the city environments are reasonably large and there’s a good amount of stuff to do—but it lacks any sort of identity. It’s trying to be Need for Speed but without the budget or the style. The progression is the typical mobile 'unlock car, upgrade turbo' loop that we’ve all done a thousand times. If you’re desperate for a racer, it’ll do, but don't expect it to win any awards.
