Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Retro Racing 2 is a love letter to the top-down racers of the late 80s and early 90s, specifically titles like Micro Machines. It captures that 'easy to learn, hard to master' essence perfectly. The game is all about momentum and the racing line; because you view the track from above, you have to anticipate turns and manage your drift with precision. It feels incredibly rewarding to nail a hairpin turn at full speed without touching the grass.

The progression is satisfyingly old-school. You start with a modest car and earn your way toward faster, sleeker machines by winning races. The inclusion of local split-screen multiplayer is a rare and welcome treat on mobile, making it a great game to play with a friend. The graphics are clean and vibrant, utilizing a retro aesthetic that looks sharp on modern screens. It’s a pure racing experience—no gimmicks, just speed and skill.

Good game
Sat Sep 28 2024 Bubbalitoisme

I like playing this and getting up on the leaderboard. I got to like 45th on the first race and the next two just arent fun. They have random cones in them which makes it so annoying when you have a good race just to have these cones in a weird formation to mess you up. And theres not like any content for free players, also by it looks like theres not that much for paying players too. If the game keeps adding more things and changing some stuff to make it a bit better it could be a really REALLY fun game. Also for the free version theres lots of ads😭😭😭

Great game, bit expensive and could have some improvements

The game costed I think 7$ and think it was a bit expensive but I’ve been obsessed with the game, there was a learning curve but I have prior racing knowledge so picked it up quick, best mobile racing game I’ve ever found. Some updates I’d like to see are 1. more tracks (I was able to finish all tracks 1st place in about 2 hours) 2. PLEASE ADD a custom track maker/generator if you don’t want to add more tracks so I can make more tracks myself 3. Also add like a guide so I can know how much the power ups are helping me and the difference between the different cars like what’s anti-wobble or whatever it is. 4. One last thing please add different difficulty cpu drivers the ones right now are kinda easy and way to easy to attack/defend against however they are pretty fast/good at driving also maybe add a feature to change amount of drivers on a track like maybe have 1v1s (Sorry for this extensive review I’m just so obsessed with this game)

Fun og style game

This so reminds me of my childhood games on the NES. I played the free content and enjoyed it a lot wish it was free but everything these days have micro transactions and people do it so why complain. He’s a one man show making this game and appreciate your effort on making a game that takes gives us memories from are childhood. I plan on buying the full game but I’d love more content like extra tracks and maybe races that have 8 laps and after 4 laps the last place racer is out and so on to give it a different style.

I can't believe after 12 years we see a sequel! Love it! The game plays better than the first one! Cars have more detail and there's more game modes. I haven't tried the controller support yet. For those that want to know if it's better than the first? Yes... but not enough for the price tag. It's still a fantastic game and ill support the devs for it.

Lots of fun

I saw this game in the upcoming games category and it looked awesome. I’ve now played it for a day and I’m top 10 in a couple leaderboards. My only gripe is that this game has an 8$ paywall to remove ads and unlock the full game which is kinda crappy but I understand you gotta make money. Other than that this game is awesome and I recommend getting it.

Fun and cool
Mon Sep 23 2024 SDHBS

This game is fun and simple. Im excited for updates and for me to work up the courage to buy the whole game. For updates Id like more skins and then having cool things about them like a floating car or the bat mobile and if like very long maps with 1-2 laps. Thanks

Great start

Very fun, great difficulty…Hopefully this game develops a bit more, would like a bit more features like custom livery editor and maybe a manager side. But awesome feel to the cars for being such a cute and well working game.

Great, overpriced gameplay
Fri Sep 27 2024 0874531

Just like RR1, this game plays great. Have read the devs responses that “this is his only income”, but 5.99 is just asking too much to unlock what’s provided here. Perhaps dev should consider pricing lower in order to sell more copies instead of turning players away with current cost (especially after RR1 was basically free) if so worried about their income. Like most I’m sure, will keep an eye on this one til price drops
