Electronic Arts has just released another arcade racing title in the Android Market with Real Racing 2. If you’re wondering why you never heard of part 1 well, that’s because it was only available for that other App Store until EA wised up. No matter. Real Racing 2 ups the ante from the previous version with absolutely insane visuals for Android devices, delivering ultra realistic environments and shiny car models. I mean, seriously — just look at those screenshots!
The game allows you to jump behind the wheel of 30 different high-performance cars in 15 different locations around the globe. Jump quickly into a 15 car race with Quick Race mode or take your time with circuit racing in Career Mode — however you decide to play, you’ll have a good time doing it. Full features include:
Test your racing prowess on a 16 car grid against highly skilled AI drivers.
- Select from 30 officially licensed cars including the 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, 2010 Nissan GT-R (R35), 2012 McLaren MP4-12C, and more!
- Work your way from rookie to pro in a robust Career Mode, offering 10 hours of racing enjoyment. Jump into a Quick Race for instant fun – or race against the clock in Time Trial Mode.
- Race in 15 beautiful locations, with 40 miles of highly detailed race tracks, speedways and city circuits – including twilight and night races.
- Touch or tilt to steer, as you experience state-of-the-art handling with customizable options that tailor to your personal driving style.
- Experience the intensity of head-to-head racing with 5 unique camera angles and breath-taking graphics powered by Firemint’s exclusive high performance Mint3D™ engine.
Keep in mind that while Real Racing 2 is free to download, unlocking the full version of the game comes through an in-app purchase. The only problem I encountered was the same one others in the Market had with the game’s 470MB resource failing to download. Also, the game isn’t compatible with a good amount of Android devices (even high-end ones like the Evo 3D). But if you guys want to give it a go for yourselves, buckle up and test drive Real Racing 2 for free right now in the Android Market. Remember — no texting while driving.
I was always jealous of my brother having this game on his iPod touch, not any more :) The graphics on the iPod’s retina display are absolutely beautiful.
I have Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer, but Market writes, that app is not compatible with my devices :-(.
Weird, it says it’s compatible with my Nexus S 4G (Sprint). And a bunch of old Snapdragon phones I don’t have anymore T_T
Here’s the EU version : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ea.game.realracing2_row
Thanks, this version is compatible withy my Nexus S. So I hope, that support of Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer will be soon.
Nice stable of android devices their. I’ll be 2 for 3 when my GN shows up today.

I don’t know why they have to confuse things with different versions but hey…
Not available on the galaxy nexus…..what are EA playing at?
Runs extremely smooth on my Nexus S. But it will not work on my Galaxy Nexus.
Works fine on a sensation xe runing the leaked 4.0 software
Looks awesome!
i bought it but it doesn’t unlock i hate ea sever issues big time
Is it xperia play compatible?
Not compatible with the Droid Bionic either… Wtf
runs on sgs2 but crashes to launcher after 15/20 secs into the race every time
Not compatible with the Droid razr, but if you find the apk on line and install it, it will allow you to buy the full version. I want to support developers, so please please Google, figure out a way to create a less fragmented experience with android phones… if Stevie J. Was right about one thing, that was it.
The best racer by far. Works flawlessly on Samsung Galaxy S2 without modification. There was initial problems with data downloads but now its OK. Close open apps before playing to avoid crashes.
