There are two modes in the game and they basically boil down to career and single race.

I’m not exactly sure where to begin with this one so how about the starting line? You’re Cole Trickle, Cruise’s character in the film, a cocky young punk stock car driver. Cue rivalry, bad driving, terrible attitudes and awful dialog. Oh and don’t forget the complete lack of enjoyment.

OK, enough with the story. The game itself is sort of cool, that is until you really get into it and find a mass of flaws that will never get this game to the finish line for a win. While the graphics are sort of cool in an old school way they’re fairly jagged-edged for what I’ve seen capable on the iPhone. They could certainly use some improvement, as could the god-awful dialog. In fact, they could have completely did away with most of the story in my eyes because it brings nothing to the game except excessive touching of the skip button. But again, it’s a Paramount title and so they have to tie it into a film. Hopefully, they’ll get over this need and just publish cool games some day.

 Our Rating for Days of Thunder Review (iPhone)
2.0
Replay
If you have absolutely nothing better to do, you might be inclined to go back and try to get all the achievements, but really, why would you?
4.0
Graphics
Sub-par for the iPhone. Almost as if they were recycled from an SNES Days of Thunder title.
4.0
Sound
Also sub-par since they tend to grind on your nerves like a 15-year old grinds a manual transmission.
3.0
Gameplay
Pulling away with no competition or pulling away only to be mashed into pieces just don’t appeal to me. Completely unrealistic in so many ways as to basically be no fun to play.
0.1
Multiplayer
N/A
3.5
Overall
This game isn’t worth the time it would take to download and install. But again, the great thing about the iPhone app is that it can be updated. I sure hope that Freeverse and Paramount care enough about the consumers to do just that.
