CSR Racing 2 and its ‘beyond console’ graphics launch on iOS and Android

You could call Zynga’s latest release a drag — but that’s just because its all about racing another beastly car down the line for the win.

The mobile and social gaming company released CSR Racing 2 today for iOS and Android. The sequel from the NaturalMotion studio adds a bushel of social features and loving treatments of some of the world’s most amazing cars (and mundane ones as well). The first has more than 190 million downloads — over 2 percent of the world’s population have played it. Zynga is beginning to find its footing in the $36.4 million mobile gaming market, and free-to-play releases like CSR Racing 2 mix bleeding-edge graphics, tons of customization, and the publisher’s traditional social gameplay.
