Was this commissioned before Raikkonen knew he was returning to Formula 1? Given that rallying features heavily, and there’s no single-seater action to be found, it seems likely.

It’s a shrewd move though: Raikkonen has a rampant fan-base, and a game for iOS isn’t a bad way to pump them for cash. It’s a free download, with in-app purchases. To be fair, it isn’t stingy with its free content, and it does look pretty smart.

There are four racing disciplines, which vary from the nearly-okay to the quite-terrible.

Starting with the latter: rallying. At first, it feels borderline uncontrollable: on snow, there seems to be little on offer between driving in a straight line and handbrake-turning into a snow bank. After driving a different vehicle on tarmac, however, the problem is clarified: there’s an infuriating split-second delay between tilting the iPhone and your car responding to the input. With this knowledge, the rallying is less fist-mashingly bad, but the nearly-digital steering means it’s still far from enjoyable.

The lack of handling subtlety also hinders the NASCAR-style truck racing: ovals are a painful experience when it’s a battle to maintain a nice even cornering radius.

Things start to pick up with the sporty tuner car: the tight corners are more suited to the twitchy handling, and the car skids pleasingly without entirely losing grip. But bafflingly, either I just managed to avoid ever encountering another car, or it’s a rally-style time trial for no good reason. I’m fairly confident it’s the latter.

Karting is by far the game’s most enjoyable discipline: the handling is perfectly at home, and the tracks are nicely designed.

But it’s also where the game’s biggest bug is most obvious. The computer-controlled opponents can be absolute idiots, swerving everywhere and constantly resetting themselves. That’s not the bug though: if you lap your opponents, then you’ll cross the line in 1st, but the results screen will have you finishing last, presumably comparing your time over two laps to everyone else’s over one. Which means that, to register as winning, you have to wait up to five minutes or more for everyone else to unlap themselves. Which is rather tiresome.

So: the rallying is unsuccessful, and it’s a bit unresponsive. An accurate representation of Raikkonen himself, then. (Joke! Sort of.)

While it’s no Real Racing 2, it’s also nothing like as bad as the utterly incompetent TT3D tie-in. And plenty of the game’s problems could – and should – be fixed via updates.
