There’re absolutely zero reasons not to get this incredibly slick, fly-by-the-seat-of-you-pants remake of the 90’s classic racing shooter Death Rally iOS game unless you hate fun or you’re dead.
The game puts you at the helm at any one of a handful of cars that you can access once unlocked, then pits you against five other drivers in a seemingly endless succession of explosive, frenzied races. It’s slick, gorgeous, incredibly fun to play and filled with little details that’ll make you squeal like a hamster with delight. Almost certainly the most fun to be had on the iPhone for free; and because it’s a Universal Binary app, it looks stunning on the iPad.
It’s not going to be free forever though, so floor that pedal if you want it.
