I just came across it in the App Store and this just made my night! :D Anyone know much about it? For $10 I'm really considering this one.

I have $15 to the App Store and I've been holding out for a while now for the November release of Need For Speed Underground. Opinions?

Link? I can't seem to find it (at least in the U.S. AppStore).

Excellent, thanks, the link from the AppStoreFeed works, but searching for the game through more conventional means goes nowhere...must have just been very recently put on the store.

Hopefully that works.

It looks great, really - but I will no doubt be waiting on reviews. If they can't get the 4th picture to work correctly - at least for me - then that makes me feel like I should give this one some time in the wild before a purchase.

Beat to it twice. I need to be speedier - I can never beat Arn. :p

Never mind now - the picture works too. (Ferrari = Great; a car NFS lacks) I was surprised to see Asphalt. I just happened to be looking at the Racing game section like I always do to check for anything new, and Boom, in the words of Steve. I was thrilled to get this up here when I saw the August 29th release date.

I've noticed (consistently over many nights now), that if you search in the late evening on the "All iPhone Apps" page, this will show you the *new* apps:

click onto page "2 of ...", then click back to "1 of ...". Guaranteed, you will see a different page 1 than you just saw seconds ago, with all the new apps listed.

Why is this "fail"? Sorry for the rude awakening, but MOST games don't come with demos. Even renting a console game at Blockbuster or whatever costs money. It's really not right to judge a game's value before you play it...for all we know, this game could worth 10x its cost, or a tenth of the cost. But judging from how large the app is in terms of MB, and how good the graphics look, i'd say it's easily worth $10 if it plays even anywhere near how it looks. :rolleyes:
