    Doodle Kart is a must. It's cheap, fun and addictive. You can also draw your own car which means when your girlfriend draws the crappiest car even you can laugh at her without getting slapped (potentially).

    Suggestions?

    I own a handful of top down racers. Just wondering if I missed any good ones.

    Games I have:
    Reckless racing 1 & 2 - probably the best top down racers on iOS.
    Reckless getaway - same idea as Reckless racing. Not as good in my opinion.
    Forever Drive - community generated tracks. Also a really good game. Lots of replay value with new tracks being added all the time.
    Mini motor racing - I had really high hopes for this. It is good I haven't enjoyed it as much as I hoped to.
    Smash cops - this would be so much better with a free roam / open city mode.
    Cubed rally racer - hard and super fun.
    GTA: CTW - not necissarily a racer. Racing modes are available though.
    VS racing - simple and fun little game.
    Simple racing - lots of tracks. Worth a purchase if you're a fan of the genre.
    Hard racing - very apt name. Also one of my favourite on iOS.
    I'm sure I've had a few more and deleted them. Just wondering about any notables I missed. Slingshot racing? Any good? Thanks.

    I think it's all a matter of preference in controls and the way the cars react. I personally LOVE Mini Motor Racing and would take it any day over RR1 & RR2. But I know I'm probably in the minority on that.

    I actually like Reckless Getaway better than the two RR games. Not really a racer though. Fun for causing mayhem though.

    As far as Slingshot Racing, again, it's a matter of preference. Some people love it, but I never really could get into the mechnics.

    One not on your list, Horror Racing, is pretty good. And Death Rally is pretty awesome. Really would be nice to have some more weapons-based top-down racers.

    Thanks awp69.
    Seems like our tastes differ a little. I'll take a glance at the titles you suggested now though.

    Edit: looks like I bought or downloaded both of those titles at different times. Going to DL them again and give them another shot.
    Also it's more of an arena based (destruction derby with guns) style game. You might be interested in the new glu games title indestructible. If you don't hate glu games that is.
