Pocket Gamer: A wonderfully entertaining, perfectly balanced arcade blast, VS. Racing 2 offers the sort of addictive racing everyone can enjoy.
Touch Arcade: Top-down arcade racers seem to do well on iOS, and it's really not too hard to see why. Combining quick gameplay with simple controls and fast reflexes is a good formula for approachability. Maciek Drejak Labs successfully implemented that blueprint once before with Vs Racing [Free], and now with Vs Racing 2 [$0.99], the developer returns for another try. While Vs Racing 2 certainly offers some refinements and more of what made its predecessor fun, the exceedingly simple focus is sure to disappoint some looking for a bit more depth.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): To look at it, VS. Racing 2 appears significantly less complex than other iOS driving games, like Real Racing 2 or Asphalt 7: Heat. While there's probably some truth to that, you'll continue to come in last without a basic understanding of what it takes to dominate those 36 tracks. For that, we have this VS. Racing 2 cheats and tips guide.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): At first glance, VS. Racing 2 doesn't appear too complex when it comes to graphics, but this quickly gets tossed out the window once you take in the detailed tracks, the way sparks appear whenever two cars trade paint, or the dirt that kicks up whenever a vehicle goes off-road. You soon learn that just because the game has a top down perspective, with the camera positioned hundreds of feet in the air, doesn't mean this little gem can't hang with the best racers on the App Store.
