Pros and cons of Rhythm Racer app for iPhone and iPad

Rhythm Racer app good for

I love this game and it has great graphics and nice music. The only downside are the controls. Please fix them. This is free so of course you cant really complain, but that is the only problem I have encountered.
I thought the game was too hard at first, but then I saw scores over 200,000 on open feint so i tried harder and got better and now I am a huge fan. Cant wait for more music!
Wow... I love this game!!! It has a unique concept and its sooo fast. The better you do, the faster you go, so you gotta practice a little to get there. This is the first app I have downloaded with OF and it seems pretty neat though the UI could be better. I hope more tracks are available soon. Parry Gripp is awesome!
By far, one of most addicting racing games on the iPhone Ive come across and definitely one of the fastest. Flying at blazing, high speeds in these fictitious, yet colorful corners of space, adds a whole new dimension and level of intensity. I played until my battery died. Leaderboards are cool, but beating your own best score is what kept me coming back for more. Bravo!
I think I may need to make a NEW new years resolution to stop playing this game - its interfering with my ability to keep my eyes open at work! Once you start its hard to stop - and its cool that you and your friends can post your scores - although its not very good for my resolution! Fun times and great music. Cant wait for more.
Very fast and very addicting -- I love this game! The controls are super easy (just titlt left and right to steer the spaceship) and the tie-in with the music is great.

Some bad moments

This is by far the worst music based game I have played yet. The control is absolutely horrid and I didnt even finish the first song. I spent more time downloading this game than playing it. Also this game is the first game so bad I had to actually type out a review for it. Unless youve mastered tilting your iPod or iPhone to the left and right and can deal with the super sensitive controls, dont bother getting this because youll either regret it or bash your head against the wall for a while and then love the game because youll feel better when youre done playing it.
This game has great potential but the lack of songs and the brutal controls limit the fun to be had with this title. If these thing were to be fix it might be a worth while game.
Once again a game that foes for flash and not functionality. Oversteering and Inderstwering is a constant issue. Going around turns is disorienting and coupled with the controls it becomes even more of an issue. Camera is too close to the space fighter thing so judging things down the way is an issue. If they were actually thinking, theyd have put the camera higher up so you can more see where your going and have put in more "digital" controls so theres less chance of screwing up due to the previously mentioned issues. 90% of all motion controlled games for iPod Touch/iPhone are bad.
Use terrible control to hit things on the track. That is what this game is. It also only has one "track," but you can buy another for a dollar. A crap game with crap pricing. Nothing to do with either racing or music.
The controls are too "slipery" and the notes are not in snyc with the music.
Seriously this games Hubert problem is the controls. Its not enjoyable because steering and hitting the objects is extremely difficult. Why is there not a different control option for this game?? I would prefer some arrows or something in the corners of the screen so you can steer the ship from left to right manually. Make that an option, please!
