I see a game like Royal Revolt or Royal Envoy 2 and I can say, "these look like games that could be on a newly released kids console game." I guess I'm just a bit depressed that what we find impressive has fallen. I see the gameplay screenshot and I'm thinking it's a totally different game. I look at the graphics in the garage and I'm impressed. That's just the thing though- a game that can legally drink is not that behind a new release. The gameplay graphics of the original Mario Kart (21 years ago) is obviously lacking a small amount in graphics. The exception might be if I was looking for realism, then the car in the garage in Reckless Racing Ultimate is way more impressive than a cartoon car. When you look at Mario Kart 64 (1997 NA release), I would rather take those graphics over these. I remember in 2004 playing some NASCAR game my college roommate had for PS2 that knocks the socks off this game. When I look back to the first NFS game I ever played a decade ago on a low-midrange laptop that certainly wasn't set up for gaming, I'd much rather play that again. Eventually they got smaller and smaller.now they are getting bigger and bigger again (albeit much lighter, thinner, and more powerful than 20 years ago). I remember a time when devices were even larger than they are today and we were complaining they were too big. These graphics and length of gameplay pale in comparison to a console game. I enjoy how we have gone back in time with what is considered "good". The full version of Reckless Racing Ultimate is running $2.49 and you can find it here (opens in new tab) in the Windows Store. There is a free trial for Reckless Racing Ultimate that gives you access to the first racing cup, one arcade challenge and access to car upgrades. It wouldn't make for a bad Windows Phone game. Bottom line, if you like racing games Reckless Racing Ultimate for Windows 8 is well worth checking out. Shame you don't have a control option to use your accelerometer for steering. It just takes a little time to get used to the orientation. The weak point on tablets is the controls but not to the point of driving you nuts. Overall, Reckless Racing Ultimate is a fun, challenging, well presented Windows 8 Xbox title. From garage view to the road signs that snap when run into to the cars burning rubber, it's very hard to find anything bad about Reckless Racing Ultimate's graphic quality. While game play is entertaining, Reckless Racing Ultimate has very impressive graphics.
