The RT2 tracks are visually stunning, with lighting effects, textures, animated scenery (windmills, fireworks, etc), all rushing past at a very high frame rate. Or maybe I'm just not very good!Īs before, there are also career and 'instant' modes, the former gradually unlocking extra tracks and cars. Making it truly multi-platform is a very smart move and ensures a plentiful supply of online opponents - though you have to wonder whether RT2 plays more easily or harder on any one platform and thus gives some opponents an edge.
It's also not obvious whether you're just racing against players of RT2 on Symbian^3 or (more likely) all RT2 players on all platforms (including iOS and Android). There's an integrated chat system, though I hated the tiny font used, it's very hard to read on the smaller phone screen. If players are racing when you join the lobby, you'll have to wait a few minutes for them to finish, and then you're off with them. In either case, you wait for other players to join and for the lobby host to 'start' the race. The system's implemented nigh-on perfectly too, you can join an existing lobby or create your own. As anyone who's tried such a game before will tell you, the extra buzz you'll get from challenging real people rather than computer-controlled 'players' is incomparable.
Up front and centre in RT2 is Internet-wide multi-player gaming. This, as we shall see, is both good and bad.
RAGING THUNDER 2 GAME DOWNLOAD FULL
Raging Thunder 2 (RT2) uses a new version of the core 'FUSE' engine, now upgraded to run at full nHD resolution on the new phones with built-in graphics acceleration but with very little code shared withe previous game. Yes, RT1 proclaimed itself to champion fun over realism, but it stayed the right side of reality and there was always a semblance of feel that you were driving a real car, in terms of throwing around corners and up and down slopes and cambers. I was something of a fan of the original Raging Thunder, which managed to extract the last ounce of performance out of the creaky graphics in the previous generation of Nokia touchscreen phones, producing a fast core engine that ran at 360 by 180 pixels but then upsampled this to run full-screen.
