Real Racing: another iPhone racing game to get excited about

There are probably too many racing games already made for the iPhone, but that isn’t stopping Firemint from developing a game named “Real Racing.”

Real Racing is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an accelerometer controlled car racing game that looks fantastic.

For a graphics sample, here’s some replay footage from the game.

Robert Murray from Firemint demoed the game for PocketGamer.co.uk; the first time it’s been shown publicly.

The game is controlled through tilting the device, and is reported to be spot on. The graphics are stunning as well, but that’s not all. The game supports head-to-head multiplayer over cell networks and wifi. You can upload low times to the web, and participate in the web community. You can even add a special app to Facebook and OpenSocial to brag about your skills to your friends.

Here’s a demo of the motion controlled racing action.

And that video replay from before? Well, that’s actually a feature of the game. When you choose to upload a low time to the net, the game automatically outputs and uploads the replay to YouTube to help solidify your skills.

Firemint expects to ship Real Racing before the holidays this year.
