There are more than 30 drag racing games available to download on iOS or the Android platforms –- some great, some not so great - and I’ll show you a few worth talking about. Get it only when it's heavily discounted.It’s been a long dry spell for NHRA fans and racers itching for some flame-throwing, gear-shifting competition and while some of the circle-track crowd has been getting their virtual kicks in iRacing events, there’s no such component for fans of our straight-line sport.įortunately for us, there are other ways to fulfill our need for speed and the key is right in your pocket or purse: Mobile games. And for the average gamers, it's not too interesting.įurthermore, $50 is way too expensive. For the average racing game enjoyer, however, it simply is lacklustre. It's probably nice for people who are really into drag racing. The biggest caveat for this game is having only 1 track in the soundtrack, it seems. The hot rods sound believable and the announcer talking is a nice addition. Sound Design - 3.5/5The sound design is generally good. Just the bare minimum of being able to control how loud things are. No changing control schemes, no graphics settings. "Controls" is just an overview over the gamepad bindings, and the credits are. Now only Audio Options gives one the possibility to actually change something. Settings and Options - 1/5The settings screen has 3 options you can choose from: I get you cannot create everything from scratch with the newest technology, but 2d bushes along the road are sometimes not enough. Unfortunately, the areas surrounding the drag strips look like Assetto Corsa track environments. But since the graphics try to go into a realistic setting, high expectations should be set. Graphics and World Design - 3.5/5The world design is good. It will be to establish financial stability in order to upgrade your vehicle parts. As your only goal in the first few seasons will not be to win races. This makes the entire gameplay process feel repetitive and grindy.

Here's basically how to play the game in terms of button presses:Ī, A, A, RT, LT+RT, LT, X, X, RT, LT, A, A, LT, RT, LT, RT, RB, LT with occasional left thumb stick movement. It's challenging, it's monotonous and it's loud. Gameplay - 2/5The gameplay seems to somewhat realistically simulate the everyday events of a drag racer. The Strengths and Weaknesses of NHRASo let's take a look into what makes and breaks NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed for All. So, after just 2 races, I slid into bankruptcy.ġ0/10, would simulate my financial situation again. Now, apparently, replacing parts costs money, and it cost more than I had at this point. Unfortunately, I got knocked out in the first round of the race. Blowing up my engine and gearbox after a qualifying stint, I had to replace the parts to further continue. The second weekend, however, woo boy, did I manage to screw up. My weekend was over after the qualifying. The first time around, I didn't make that. Out of many competitors, only 16 can make it past qualifying into the knockout race. It's a nice addition though, and probably worthwhile to adjust your parts.Īnyways, going out onto the track for the first time, I learned that the drag racing weekends consist of Friday practice, Saturday qualifying and Sunday racing. To be honest, since I'm a newbie to drag racing as a whole, I'm gonna leave this part behind. Tuning your vehicle is one of the more advanced stages of this game, however, you have quite the amount of settings you can change. Also, it is here where you can see for the first time, that NHRA is focused exclusively on the American market.
