3/22/2023 0 Comments Raging thunder 2 gameplayRaging Thunder is a compact racing app that offers very functional controls. I would have liked some better AI and perhaps more track, game mode and car options, but maybe that would have made it too much like Asphalt. The only problem is that it’s not very easy to win races, even with the great amount of motion control (which is adjustable).Ī big positive is that there is not an over-reliance on boosts, as there is in Asphalt 4, which means that driving skill matters much more than your ability to rapidly tap the boost button, although boosts do come into play.įor $2 less than Asphalt 4, this is a good, compact option that drives well. With Asphalt 4, at $9.99, being the best racing game currently available, how does this compare?Īlthough Raging Thunder doesn’t offer the mind-blowing detail, depth and customization of Asphalt 4, it actually succeeds in offering a more responsive driving experience. Although there is a monitor to show if there is an opponent close behind or in front of you, it's nice to know what's transpiring in front or behind and what kinds of turns are coming up in the race. Then again, it can be discouraging (I was a little frustrated each time I glanced a wall and all three opponents blew past me, never to be seen again).Īnother problem was that there was no map to let you know how far along you are in a specific track and where your opponents are. In fact, maybe it increases the lifespan of the game and will keep you coming back to meet the challenge. The AI seems a little out of whack, allowing computer opponents to drive nearly flawless races, often leaving you in the dust with no chance of advancing to the next stage (there are only four cars in each race and the fourth place finisher can’t advance).īut the difficulty isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And no, I’m not complaining because I sucked at the game. Odd.Īlthough the game plays well, loads impressively fast and has a decent amount of depth, it is very difficult. The app doesn’t seem to pause when the screen is darkened, with the music and movement continuing, and it will restart after a phone call, likely leaving you frustrated by whoever decided to call and ask you to Google the nearest Jiffy Lube.Īlso, the sound seems to randomly stop and then restart at times during play. The graphics and scenery are impressive and diverse for such a compact app and there is a good range of game modes, including quick play, arcade, championship, time attack and even a WiFi multiplayer mode. You can also hit the “tackle” option, after following an opponent closely, which boosts your car, allowing you to ram others. Users can pick up boosts and money while driving and will also encounter skulls, which will slow the car and seem to be placed in the most optimal driving path (those sneaky developers…). Steering and acceleration work with very functional motion controls, which are the best we’ve tested (better than those in Asphalt 4) although there is also a touch control option (which isn’t very good and requires you to put a finger in the middle of the screen, blocking much of your view). It’s cheaper than competitors, loads faster and still has a good range of modes and features.Īt just 2.8 MB in size, Raging Thunder loads at a blistering pace and can have you twisting and turning through a race course just 10 seconds after launching the app (although you need to quickly tap through the title screen to do so). A compact, fun and powerful racing challenge from the makers of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D, Raging Thunder’s motion controls are possibly the best in the App Store.
