As much as I love driving and racing in real life, it is not always practical to do so, especially with the cost of gasoline and maintaining a track ready vehicle so high. The simple alternative is to find a good simulator to mollify those needs, and the more portable that experience is, the easier it is for me to get my fix when I need it most. You can therefore imagine that had high hopes when seeing the screenshots for Real Racing 3 in the Google Play Store. The visuals were absolutely impressive for a mobile device and the promise of realistic game play added to the appeal. Throw in a rather impressive and ever growing set of cars to choose from, and it seemed possible that my dreams for the perfect portable racing fix were about to be answered.
Boy was I ever in for a reality check...
