Days of Thunder succeeds as both a silly and serious game. The over-the-top hammer sequences where you car turns invincible are good fun, but in lengthy races, you really have buckle down plan your attacks. This is a great stock car racer for the so-called "NASCAR dad" set. And if you act fast, you can practically steal it from Freeverse before it goes back up to full price.... which it's still worth.

Days of Thunder for the iPhone is indeed based on the Tom Cruise movie of the same name, but the actor is nowhere to be seen. Not even Robert Duvall's likeness is in here, either, which is unfortunate because the highlight of the movie (for me) was Duvall's face as he said "rubbin's racing." This is not a licensed NASCAR game either -- but unless EA makes a move, I can see Freeverse's game dominating that fanbase. It delivers an accessible stock car racing experience that pretty much any racing game can enjoy.

The game is loaded with tracks, from Tennessee to South Carolina and on down to Daytona. You begin the game with only the amateur circuit available to you, which is a good place to get the hang of the game. After winning enough races, you advance into higher circuits, such as the semi-pro and endurance circuits. The game includes several cars and drivers in addition to Cole Trickle, the hero of the movie. You better watch out for trouble from the likes of Russ Wheeler and "Rowdy" Burns -- both villains from the flick. (You unlock their cars by beating them.)

It's important to point out that Days of Thunder is not at all like Ferrari GT or Fastlane Street Racing. These are stock cars, which are meant to be pushed to the limit. You will be making a lot of left turns in the game, not swerving all over the road. There is a serious strategy element to the game, though, from discerning the best time to drop the hammer or take to the pits, which repairs damage but sacrifices your position on the track. So, while I certainly had a few yuks with the goofy nature of hammering through the pack, I appreciated that the entire game wasn't a joke.

The controls are very good. The tilt sensitivity is just right. After a few races, I had a handle on just how far I needed to tilt to the left or right to slip around a rival car and trade paint without causing a wreck. There are on-screen gas and brake pedals that are easy to use and when it comes time to pit, a pit button appears on the left side of the screen that is large enough you don't need to lift your hand to reach.
