Instead of using a multi-touch steering wheel, they could use the accelerometer. This game's pretty useless until they add that capability.

The iPhone is supposedly going to be a premier gaming device due to superior graphics, hardware and interface. I find it hard to believe since it doesn't have dedicated buttons and such, but I still hope it comes true. Nice way to spend your time running the juice out of your iPhone battery. There should be some power management program that doesn't allow you to play games or videos when you're below a certain battery charge percentage. Just so the battery doesn't crap out when you need to make an emergency telephone call. The game looks pretty nice.
