Earlier this week, Firemint announced the release of their new game Firemint Real Racing which is now available for purchase for the iPhone and iPod Touch from the iTunes App Store for only $9.99.  Firemint is a relatively new app developer that burst onto the scene with their first self-branded game, Flight Control.   Below is the information from the press release or you can visit Firemint’s website for more information.

Firemint, a leading developer of games for  iPhone and iPod touch, today announced that its highly-anticipated  racing game Firemint Real Racing™ is now available for purchase on the  Apple App Store. Firemint Real Racing is Firemint’s second  self-published game and follows on from the phenomenal success of  Flight Control, which has gone to the #1 paid app position in 20  countries including the USA, UK and Japan. With over 800,000 downloads  so far, Flight Control is one of the most popular games ever to be  sold on the Apple App Store.

Firemint Real Racing provides gamers with the most thrilling racing experience by featuring a unique in-car view and carefully balanced, intuitive accelerometer support. Players will also enjoy a full suite of social networking features enabled by Firemint’s revolutionary Cloudcell™ technology, which allows users to automatically upload video replays of their best laps to their YouTube account and lap time  records to social media sites like Twitter – all straight from the  game.

Firemint Real Racing features include:

• Boasting via broadcast – upload video replays of your laps to YouTube with the push of a button.
• Unique in-car view – cockpit view with animated driver and dashboard instruments showing actual race data.
• Custom control options – Firemint Real Racing includes several different control methods including combinations of accelerometer or touch-based steering as well as automatic or touch-based acceleration and braking. Players can adjust handling and sensitivity to suit their personal preferences.
• Huge variety of cars and tracks – Players can unlock 36 cars in three classes (hatch, sedan and muscle) and 12 unique tracks designed for racing, each with its own challenges.
• Endless hours of racing thrills – Players can choose from five game modes: local head to head over Wi-Fi, Time Trial, Quick Race, Online League play and a massive single player Career mode.
• Best in class graphics, sound and handling – Firemint Real Racing delivers consistently high frame rates, carefully detailed trackside environments and cars, 3D sound effects, licensed music and cinematic cut scenes. Accurate surface variations including asphalt, grass, gravel and ripple-strips affect vehicle speed, responsiveness and handling.
