Our Expert Score

85/100

Reckless Racing 3 is the pinnacle of top-down racers. It leans heavily into the 'reckless' side of things, encouraging you to slide through corners and bump into opponents with abandon. The physics are the highlight; the way the cars tilt on their suspension and kick up dust from the tracks makes the racing feel tactile and dirty in the best way possible.

The addition of Gymkhana mode is a brilliant touch, offering a technical break from the chaotic racing. It rewards precision and flair, which balances out the more aggressive main campaign. The graphics are some of the best in the genre, with highly detailed environments and impressive lighting effects. If you have any nostalgia for classic Micro Machines but want a modern, high-fidelity experience, this is the game to get.

Play with control settings

This is a really great racing/drifting game. If you don’t like the controls then change them up there are a ton of configuration’s to accommodate everyone that isn’t too lazy to try. It feels like your on ice skates but learn to look ahead and drift around gloriously to your hearts content. U can’t just step on the gas here you have to flutter it a bit, yeah, I said FLUTTER the brakes or you’ll be flying off into water or worse just getting stuck with no where to go. The advice is free-take it or leave it, never said I was some professional or anything... I’d take it if I were U though cuz it looks like you’ll need it Greenie... Your Welcome. No,no, no tips please but Thanks for the offer.

Probably the best mobile racer out there

Let me tell you something, I’ve had an iPhone since the iPhone 4, and I used a iPod touch before that. I’ve played A LOT of games on them over the many years. Reckless Racing 3 takes the cake. Sure it’s a little dated now, and could certainly use some difficulty balancing, but overall this is an incredible games. Probably my all time favorite. I’ve actually come back to 3 different times to play through completely. All I ask is this - can you PLEASE bring us Reckless Racing 4??

Like racing at a friend's house
Thu May 21 2020 Default Itunes User

The game gives you the feeling like when you were a kid & went riding bikes at a friend's house. Invariably you'd get to racing with your friend and his buddies in their neighborhood. You were out-gunned from the very beginning, they knew the track, their bikes were set up for the track, they knew all there was to know, you on the other hand were off the cuff. This game recreates that feeling of hopelessness, never being able to get ahead & win a race, you quickly lose interest & move on. These days that "friend" I had in grade school never graduated & to the best of my knowledge his strung out on drugs these days. Let's hope the programmers of the "car wreck" of a game don't go down the same path, although I would lose sleep either way. Thank you programmers for reminding me WHY I don't spend any money in the app store anymore.

Reckless fun!

The touch controls aren’t bad, but without tactile feedback (button pressing) they can be, well, touchy. With some finesse and discipline keeping fingers where they need to be, the racing is enjoyably challenging and most importantly, fun. Taking lines to force the competition away is as enjoyable as the Ben-Hur action smashing into opponents to keep yourself on course while fending off challengers. I really should get an MFI controller to enjoy this wonderful racing game even more.

Great game!

I really like this game! It’s a lot of fun to play and I think it has a unique style. I much prefer the tilt steering to the buttons, and o highly recommend you change to tilt and it makes gameplay much better. I feel like the challenge is at a perfect level: it’s not too easy and it definitely isn’t impossible. Great game!

Controls stop responding
Sun Nov 06 2016 ShawnZzzzzzzz

The game looks pretty but gets frustrating quickly. The game runs very smoothly on my 6s, but then out of nowhere the turn buttons stop responding. At first I thought maybe it's just the game because I'm on certain terrain or skidding. I shrugged it off for a bit but after several more races there were clear times where I was on paved road, driving straight, then it just wouldn't even start turning. I even tried expanding the size of the touch screen controls, but it did not help. Just unplayable with this glitch. Too bad.

Love it!

The controls are fine, you just have to learn how to finesse them (i.e. you can't go pedal to the metal all the time). The graphics are great, game play is smooth. There is a lot of drifting, so learn how to let off the gas before turning, or using the side of an opponent's vehicle to keep from going off the track. I think it is a lot of fun. Great racing game!

Good Skidstorm Alternative
Mon May 15 2023 TheCelticArcher

As someone who played Skidstorm many years ago when it was around, this is a ‘good’ comparison if you really enjoyed that game. There are aspects missing, and the controls feel a little different, but overall, this is still a fun experience!
