Buggy and rough

The overall premise is interesting. Not many iPhone games offer open-world off-road racing in 10-ton trucks. Too bad this game feels so unfinished. While it can be fun at times, numerous problems had me rage quit the app more than once.

The physics, like 4x4 Jam, are totally unrealistic. Just tapping the breaks while driving at 40mph will cause any of the 4x4 trucks to go into a sideways slide followed by multiple barrel rolls. The 6x6 and 8x8 trucks are more stable but have very slow turning and acceleration.

There is a bad glitch where collisions with trees will make your and the AIs wheels get stuck up in the frame, and the truck will be doing permanent wheelies. Its pretty funny when it happens to the computer but is annoying when it happens to you, and requires you to restart the race.

The maps and skyboxes look colorful but lack detail. There are trees, blades of grass, and the occasional rock. The draw distance is sub-par.

The tilt steering and auto-acceleration works fine - its just the physics that will leave you raging.

Truck Jam is worth a buck if youre not poor and/or like off-road games like me, but if you are tight on cash grab something else.
