Trials HD developer RedLynx reveals awesome-looking DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved for iPhone and iPad
Make a bee-line
We liked DrawRace. When it hit the App Store back in 2009, as part of the wave of line-drawing games that inevitably followed the success of Firemint's Flight Control, we gave it a coveted Silver Award.
It appeared in a number of top ten features after that, including best iPhone games, best 59p iPhone games, best iPhone racing games, best line-drawing games, and games that would work well on the iSlate.
Which, if you recall, is what everybody thought the iPad would be called until the moment it was officially unveiled.
The game itself involves drawing a line around a track and then sitting back and watching your car follow it. The speed at which you draw the line affects the speed the car goes at that point, so you have to slow your finger down around corners, speed it up along straights, and so on.
Before and after
RedLynx has clearly been working on a complete overhaul of the game for its second outing. DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved, announced today, looks completely different from the original DrawRace, instead resembling IronMonkey's Reckless Racing.
RedLynx claims DrawRace 2 will feature physics-based racing with 16 cars, global leaderboards, 32 rendered 3D tracks, and local hotseat multiplayer. It'll also have a Career mode and 'turbo controls'.
If you're new to iPhone gaming and missed DrawRace first time around, take it from us: this one's worth getting excited about. DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved will be out in the next couple of months.
