Just for pure ease, we will only be reviewing Racing Live, instead of every single variation of the same game. Generally speaking Racing Live has everything you would expect from an online strategy game. The aim of the game is to increase your level and your wealth. You can easily achieve this by do Street Missions or by racing other players to gain experience points. There is no actual racing, but more of a Top Trumps sort of thing. If you have lots of cars and lots of car parts, you're more likely to win.
The game itself is very easy. The key to being the best is to have a big crew. Unlike Facebook Mafia or other web browser based strategy games, you don't actually need to know the person to have them on your crew. Every player has a unique Crew Code which is linked to their iPod. Players can then pass this code around on other players profiles or on the Internet in the hope to get multiple crew invites in return.
Having a larger crew will allow you to buy and use more cars and therefore more car parts. By having more car parts, you can increase the Speed and Handling attributes, which are basically your Attack and Defence points.
The size of your Crew and your Level also affects which Street missions you can do. In addition to Level and Crew size, every action that you undertake costs either Fuel, or Integrity and Focus. Each time you level up you get Skill Points to spend on either Speed, Handling, Fuel, Integrity or Focus. However, it doesn't really matter how you spend them because the added bonuses of a large crew far outweigh the normal character attributes.
All of Storm8's games follow the same general layout, just with different names. Unfortunately, the games stop being free soon. There is already an added cost for Prestige Points which can be exchanged for refills or for cash.
Final Thought Byte : If you have some spare time, then download this App whilst it's free. It follows all normal conventions so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up. The key is to spread your crew code as much as possible. If you need a crew member, just type in Z3QSP

Solid review, and I agree, it's all about the number of crew members you have.

Due to the games lack of balance and ability for stronger players to repeatedly attack weaker players (known as farming) in an unsoliccited manner, this game degenerates into more of a social experiment rather than a strategy game.
If you like picking on people, like being picked on, like ganging up on people, or like rescuing someone who is being picked on, then you'll like this game.
