Gameplay

Money can then be spent on upgrades or new cars. The game's quality may vary depending on the system it's being played on.

The iPhone version is controlled by tilting the iPhone left and right, while the DSi version has the options of using the touch screen or D-pad. The preferred controlled method can be determined in the options menu.
