    Thanks for the poll. I only have NFS, but depending on the poll, I'll decide if I should buy RR

    I refuse to choose after purchasing and loving both games. With that being said, Real Racing definitely has more depth but nfs is no slouch either

    I did buy and play both and Real Racing blows NFSU out of the water with a giant effing cannon!
    lol

    But seriously, I prefer RR. It's awesome. If you liked Gran Turismo you will love this. The amount of options for controls and things are pretty cool too!

    one is an arcade game and one is a sim. it's like comparing hotdogs and hamburgers. they are both good, but one is not a substitute for the other.

    Ditto, although people tend to like either/or.

    Should of made this poll in a couple days when people really test out Real Racing, as of now everyone is going to be voting for it simply because its new and was hyped. Its like NFSU vs Asphalt...

    Totally agree! I am hoping for not too many biased selections.

    i doubt that...how 'real' can Real Racing be? && on a iPhone console...

    This poll is legit, both racing games.
    However, ill stick to NFS i prefer driving 'brand name' cars & i love give money to the big companys, EA. haha

    yeah, it's kind of like let's golf and tiger woods golf, both good, both on my device. somedays I like the arcade feeling of LG, other days I want the sim golf of TWG. they both fit different roles, yes they are golf games, but they are different gameplays.

    I think this is a valid poll. They are both fun and immediately accessible racing games and not everyone can afford to spend 10 dollars on both like some of us. It's not like comparing a platformer to a puzzle game.

    if that's your opinion then it's fine,.... however it's a sim racing game, that's what it is. it may not be real to life, but that's not what "sim" means. if you can make a good city in sim city, would you really be a good city planner? no, it's just the label of a more realistic game that's all, as opposed to an arcade like game.

    If you want a much more casual and "hip" game, then Need For Speed is for you. Many parts of this game are unrealistic, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There is also a storyline, although it is pretty bad... Overall, its a great game.

    Real Racing is exceptional, but much more difficult. If you want a much more realistic racer, go for this. The graphics are the best on the device and controls are flawless. Ultimately it is one of the best titles you can get, hands down.

    If you only have $10 and are looking for one game, go with Real Racing. If you like TD games, wait a little longer...

    nobody is arguing the validity of the poll, all albie and I were stating is this is a sim game, opposed to a racing game, which means this poll will be personal preference, not purely game quality. it's fine but you have to take the poll for what it's worth
