Let's add and real racing 3 to the list! Really poor optimization EA! It is unacceptable to stutter on high end device, and noy just on XZ, but with other phones too.

Are these games stuttering with other high end phones too? Like s4 and htc one? I will be a happier man to know this that its not just the XZ :)

Check what background processes are running 1st on your handset. Something could be hogging resources. I have not had any problems with any game so far.

Real Racing 3 looks as good as any other phone, is completely smooth for me. And I'm no casual gamer like some of you lot. I can tell the difference between 30/45/60 fps and tell when it happens.

IronMan 3 is working fine for me, it stutters a bit when entering the menus, but while playing it is very smooth and fast.

Real Racing 3 is running at 25-30 fps, but it keeps the same framerate along all the game with no stutters or noticeable drops.

The only stutter that I've noticed on Real Racing 3 is at the starting grid, before the start, when there's more than 10 cars ready to go...

For me, Infecrinator really stutters in the menu(the game is 2D) and real racing sometimes when I'm speeding and at the start of every race.Also can't download GTA games, no matter which country I'm from

With the GTA games, it will probably be the developer's fault that they haven't flagged it as compatible with devices with the Z's resolution/dpi.

I can confirm that iron man 3 lagged. Dungeon defenders 4 on highest settings lags when you have a mob and use spells/skills.

Wow, try with inner camera, manual acceleration and brakes on the big races with lot of cars! The game stutters like hell, especially when the phone gets hot, and thermal control slows down cpu! I also can tell the difference in fps, and this is nowhere near to the satisfaction! It is a real shame, that the iphone 5 with far less raw power, can handle the game flawless! Put them side by side, and see the difference for yourself! And please, don't tell me that IOS is better by default in games!This is no excuse! That is not a good job done by the developer, or i am start to thinking that, the FullHD is too high for our CPU-GPU?!

I purchased GTA III and Vice City two weeks ago for my Z (damn i missed the special offer), and had no problems downloading, installing or playing. Now if i go to Play store it says Vice City is not compatible with my phone. Maybe they discovered some nasty bug and dropped compatibility until they relase an update. I play it and it works very well for me.

GTA III is still flagged as compatible though.

I'd have to agree with the people saying Real Racing 3 slows down bad on the Xperia Z. Most people who say that it runs fine probably just tried out the first three races. The first real test to see if the phone runs the games properly is by playing the first endurance race; if you manage to go through that race without slowdowns at the end, then, let's say I'd like to know how you set your phone.

That said, all is not lost for Xperia Z users for that game. I did what most people would consider stupid and google'd how I could configure graphic settings of an app. I eventually found an app in Google Play that allows you to configure graphics settings for Real Racing 3; after setting it to medium, the game runs real well now. Turns out reflections are probably the resource hog that causes slowdowns.

So far, games I've tried that slow down in the Xperia Z:
- Real Racing 3 (unless you tweaked the graphics)
- Dungeon Defenders (when you're dealing with huge waves)
