Weave through the traffic on winding city routes

Fastlane Street Racing for iPad : There are so many racing games available for the iPhone that it’s difficult to choose between most of  them. What Fastlane has in its locker is a very cool look and feel and some great gameplay.

From the outset this looks slick and polished. Once you’ve nego­tiated through the menus and selected the game mode (from five options) and car of your choice (from ten), you have to finish each course in a high enough position to unlock the next one. It’s a typical arcade-style structure.

Driving is a matter of using the accelerator button on the right or the brake on the left and then using a tilting action to steer left and-right. Graphically, the game impresses and the courses are a mixture of race circuits and winding city routes. Available at a bargain price, this is one of the best racing games on the iPhone, setting the benchmark even higher for apps to come.
