DrawRace 2

DrawRace 2 received mostly positive reviews from critics. The game holds a score of 88/100 at Metacritic. The site also reports five media outlets gave the game perfect scores: AppSpy, Slide to Play, AppSmile, TouchGen, and Vandal Online. The lowest score came from Pocket Gamer France's reviewer, who gave the game a 68% approval rating. The game was the top seller the week of its release in several European countries, and placed in the top ten in more than 45 countries. VideoGamer.com listed it in their Top Racing Games of 2011, and Game Informer listed it in their "20 Mobile Games You Should Be Playing" feature. GameZone Andrew Hayward said "DrawRace 2 melds racing and strategy in a unique and iPad-centric sort of way". He further stated that while the control scheme probably would not "evolve the racing genre", it worked well for touchscreen devices. In Metros review of the game critic Roger Hargreaves called it "the most addictive and enjoyably infuriating turn-based game of the year." Hargreaves cited the large amount of content, multiplayer features, and presentation as high points of the game. Toby Moses of The Guardian also praised the game. He stated that it was an improvement over the original DrawRace, and felt that it "could well be the must-have app of the year." Slide to Play's Andrew Webster felt the game was a major improvement over its predecessor. He called it "a more fleshed out and expansive experience". Eurogamers Kristan Reed thoroughly enjoyed the game — so much so that it prompted a change the site's mobile review format. Previously all reviewed games were covered under a blanket feature known as Mobile Games Roundup. Reed stated that in the new format highly rated games would not be limited to a small review, but in the future "games as brilliant as DrawRace 2 [will now] on will get the extra depth they deserve." He further noted that the price-to-value ratio was extremely high, and even jokingly stated that players should send RedLynx additional money past the purchase to make up for the value. The critic from Edge magazine called it the "exceptional sequel to the iOS racing line racer." The reviewer further noted that though the original DrawRace was good, the sequel "makes it look like an amateur effort."
