AppAdvice: Pocket Racing 2 (Free) by Measured Software is an extremely simple game. The sequel stays true to the original app with the same game controls. Unlike a tilt-to-turn racing game, users tap on the left and right side of the screen to turn. Pocket Racing 2 introduces visible buttons for users to see and tap.

Pocket Gamer: Thanks to its top-down perspective, two-button controls, and cars that are differentiated more by their hue than their horsepower, a casual observer could easily mistake Pocket Racing 2 for something light-hearted, loose, and throwaway.
Such a casual observer would be completely wrong. It turns out that two buttons (one to steer left and one to steer right) are all you need for precision racing, and Pocket Racing 2’s stripped-down focus makes genre stablemates seem positively bloated by comparison.
