Ultimate Racing 2D, developed and published by Applimazing, is a love letter to the golden age of top-down racing games, but with the kind of depth, variety, and customization rarely seen in the genre.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I found the career to be pretty fun and once I had worked out how the cars controls, how tyre wear (and thus pit strategy) worked and what difficulty settings to use I found the expert level events to be just the right kind of challenging.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The inclusion of pit stops, boost systems, qualifying sessions, and weather effects adds layers of strategy that give the game a depth far beyond what its retro visuals might suggest.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Local split-screen—something increasingly rare in modern racing games—allows friends to compete side-by-side just like the classics that inspired it.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really scratches that real world racing itch, after a quick controller calibration.
