Has lots of potential

I have to say I really like the concept of the game. However it does need some modifications to be able to compete with its competitors. I wish there were more cars in the game. This is okay because the game was released only a few months ago. I do think that more cars can and will be added overtime. I recently received the Pontiac trans am from a free reward. I think you could add more Pontiacs in the game. For example I think the G8 gxp would be a great car for the game. I also think the G5 GT or the Saturn ion redline would be great and enjoyable cars for the game. I also want to see more Paganis like a Zonda Cinque or a Zonda C12. I think a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 or more lancer evos would be nice. I also think more variations of the Mercedes Benz SLS would be nice. I think Suzuki could make an appearance in the game with the Swift and the cappuccino. My next point is that there shouldn’t pp requirements for races. EA does this in their racing games and it’s really irritating and is time consuming. Another suggestion I have is that there shouldn’t be a limit in your garage for cars. Although this is similar to real life it just becomes annoying overtime. I also think you should not have to pay to change the color of your car. My final suggestion is that you should be able to race in online multiplayer groups. These are my thoughts on the game I hope you can consider them. Overall this game is much better than csr2 in my opinion.

Love the game but hate the cost

I have been enjoying this game since I started playing. I am addicted to it. I particularly like the new update that is tracks and laps. My only problem I have with the game is the creators need to get rich off me. In order to be competitive in this game, I have ended up spending about 5 hundred of dollars so far. The new tracks and laps addition is very expensive to get and build up my cars. I am on the edge about continuing to play this game. If I knew what I know now about the cost, I would have never started playing this game. The problem is that I have invested so much that it is now hard to walk away but I am afraid I will need to if the game creators won’t stop trying to get rich off me. An example is that just 1 track and lap car cost $10 to buy and about $40 or $50 to get the car up to a point of being competitive. So far I have gotten 3 track and lap cars and there are more to come. I ask the creators to start being more fair about the cost so I don’t have to stop playing. I really enjoy the game but can’t afford it much longer.

PAY TO WIN

This game is super frustrating, originally I had given it 4 stars but now I think it really deserves 3, it doesn’t matter if you have a fast car or get pretty good with the drifting mechanics or even memorize the tracks, none of that matters unless you’re willing to pay the devs to land in a good placement in these tournaments, why waste my time practicing and racing if the people hogging up the top 10 or even 15 spots are always people who pay for extra tickets and extra fuel? it’s not competitive at all! This game is starting to become unplayable, I’m not going to spend $10 everytime just because I want to continue racing and end in a good placement, the tickets for tournaments always take roughly about an hour to recharge PER TICKET, I have to sit there and wait and by the time all of my tickets are full I've already been kicked down the board by like 30 spots, it’s pointless unless all you want to do is play against AI which isn’t fun cause the AI is always capped off so if you upgrade your car to the max then you end up smoking the AI, honestly don’t waste your time unless you’re willing to pay. Cars ain’t cheap either, we’re talking $10 for the season pass, $10 for a tracks and laps car, $20 for another car and some “augments”, money talks in this game and it just takes out all the fun

Money grab

I started playing this game almost 2 years ago. In the beginning, you could be competitive and race regularly for free. The game offered enough rewards to advance in the game without spending money. About a year ago, that started to change. There was no way to build cars and be competitive without bringing real money to the table. When the tracks and laps season started, hutch made it blatantly clear that this is no longer a "time killer" game of fun and easy prizes, but simply a money grab by the developers. Getting new cars requires spending real money. Getting the necessary upgrades to be competitive requires spending real money. I'm 55 years old, and I cannot imagine a teenager, or better yet, a "tween" having enough funds to keep this game fun. My suggestion would be to lower your costs, and attract far more players to the game. Many people will still spend money, but there are so many that simply cannot afford to play this game. The upcoming season includes all new cars and the promise of emptying our wallets once again. Our team of 30 is losing people because of the escalating costs. If grown adults can't afford it, you know that kids can't. Update! As if this lousy game isn't financially draining enough, it has more bugs than a Mexican grocery store. With all the money these clowns are making, you'd think the developers could build a better game than this

I gave it the most time possible

I gave an initial 3 star review, but kept playing to give the game a chance to impress me. It never did, instead the nasty reality came about full force. I have played a number of games that has the model of paying for unique items and upgrades. I’ve never been a big game spender, but i realize that there was a time where I’d spend $50 on a new release that kept my attention for less time than some of these games, and I’ll invest a little here and there. This game did not call for me to do that. It ends at pretty graphics. Frustrating physics, annoying AI, short races, no real competitions. That sums this game up a bit better. I would give props to the devs for making a game with decent controls and graphics, but the whole game reeks of a big company who bought the game, got rid of the original devs, and hired some yes-men programmers to add random content every once in a while and ways to charge for everything. Haven’t you guys considered the idea that the free players bring money in by stimulating competition? Instead I feel like if I paid the $5 or whatever to enter one of the competitions, I’d be the only sap in there.

Buyer Beware

I have been playing this game since it’s release and joined their Discord chat the day it was conceived. The graphics are great, the car selection is great and the physics are fun. Hutch broke the H2H racing last year when they introduced the ability to purchase extra races ensuring that if you paid enough, you could win any event. Their matching system for H2H has been broken as well. Top guys are talking about not upgrading cars so that they don’t get matched with fast drivers and then can win H2H. So basically fast driving and fast cars don’t mean you will win races. In the last update, Hutch changed the economy in their favor while putting out broken events, miss-timed events, and misleading event info. The last car that they offered for sale was $20 USD. That is insane for 1 virtual car. I don’t have a problem paying for a good product, but keep it reasonable The only way to really know what is going on with the updates and events is to join the discord chat and invest 30min a day reading what others say so that you don’t fall into any traps and pay walls. The game had so much potential, but squandered away through greed, poor decisions, and sub-par quality assurance. Good luck to Hutch and those who do not see this warning.

Non sense and over the top expensive

I have been playing what is game for about a year now. Recent upgrades are not perfect and have many issues especially with sticky controllers where are you get to run yourself into a wall. You are also not racing against life opponents. Which makes it unrealistic and less fun. You are racing against a pre-recorded ghost. This is problematic because you keep racing against someone’s best possible time. In real life people make mistakes but running against a computer it’s just not fun at all and racing the same race over and over and over again is closer to insanity. The second issue is that you get matched with fast cars. To get your car upgraded can cost up to $50 per vehicle. This definitely makes us game the most expensive one I have a played and I am not a fan of spending that much money. There are clubs which you can join, oh excuse me you can’t really join the clubs because most of them have already been filled out. And they were only few full benefit from winning large sums of game points and the rest of us pretty much stay behind. Because your fun colors are good places are OK but I can’t justify continuing to planet knowing that it’s just gonna drain my wallet.

I feel meh about this racing game

This game is incomplete at release. Fail. While needing the rest of the software the devs failed to release on time, is just a few minutes of fun. The graphics aren’t polished. The gameplay is repetitive and boring after a few races. The menus are intuitive but overall leave much to be desired. I think this app needs wayyy more development. This version should have been a soft beta release because the bugs are present. I will never spend any money in this app, even if all the things above were addressed. The fact that it seems totally rushed leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I believe the gameplay is an almost direct copy of what the devs for the fast and furious titles in the iOS App Store also tried to accomplish. Make it more interesting. The modeling is ok at best, but the vehicle handling is not even sub par. What was attempted here seems like a rushed cash grab. You guys lost me. This isn’t a racing enthusiasts app. I’m not really sure WHO this app was created for. I believe small children who want their first racing game may find it acceptable. My 6 year old says this app was a waste of his time. I just laughed and put him on torque drift. /FAIL
