This Game is a Blessing

From graphics to gameplay this game is phenomenal. Graphics are pretty top notch and I’m really impressed with the smooth details like the muffler burning bright after hitting a boost. Gameplay is actually solid, the mechanics for counter steering is really good, the way the car reacts to breaking and different steering sensitivity is great. Customization is absolutely phenomenal, and the design for the system in which parts and currency are obtainable was so beautifully well thought of. Only thing I will say is a more addition of cars would be splendid and different maps or a bigger one. I’m surprised with how well designed and developed this game is that it I downloaded for free, and that I don’t experience lagging really besides screen time overuse. And for the wheel steering control setting, if developers could allow a size setting and an option to lock the wheel on the screen, that would be absolutely perfect. And a last comment/finals suggestion, a little more realism is always nice, so a system that causes scratches and damage to the car after crashing, but in a slow and progressive style, in which you’d have to pay a certain fee to get the car refreshed and repaired depending on the amount of damage. One more comment actually the racing system is also impeccable. It is not too difficult it is perfect and allow for the advancing and development of skills and techniques.

Phenomenal with even more potential

I downloaded this game completely by random. Sometimes I get tired of the competitiveness on Cod Mobile. I wanted something I could relax and play in a more laid back fashion. This game exceeded any initial thought I had. The graphics are perfect, the drifting and feel this game has is like no other. I feel like this game is fairly new since not all the features are available but I don’t care. The free roam driving gives me that early 2000’s love. At the moment driving alone can get a bit boring, but practicing and honing your craft till things get juicier is perfectly okay. [Update Ideas] possibly expanding the zone and adding the ability to have multiple players, kinda like gta and the free roaming. Maybe adding an ability to challenge other players and stake some cash. Example: meeting up at one of the yellow points and having a wager match. Drifting or racing. [review continued] anywho I know given time more cars and features will be added. For now I say thanks for this game, I look forward to its evolution.

Really good game but some improvements can be done.

Look, this is game is really good. Surprisingly the graphics were not bad, really smooth too but some improvements can be done. I know this game is farely new but there are not enough cars at all. Also, what's the point of drifting if it's better to turn normally because the cars grip way too much and I think the controls are kind of confusing because the reverse button is only the circular break and not the pedal break. After that, it is way too hard to earn money, and for the drifing races too, even for a little scratch on the rear bumper, it made me lose my 1k lead which gets on my nerves because it take likes 30 mins for the race tickets to load back. Also the cars are really expensive. Last but not least, how are we going to customize our cars if we can't even get credits to buy some body kits in the blackmarket. I think I would much rather have an add for a few credits because I am free to play. But I know that the game is still pretty new and hopefully they make adjustments and improvements so looking forward to this game to pop off this year. Please keep on updating the game regularly so we players would know you guys still take care of the game unlike Fr Legends which I'm pretty sure that that (correct spelling btw) company gave up on that game. So thank you and please continue improving on the game to it's limits.

great game, just needs more improvement

The game is good so far, the customization is pretty good and the parts are inexpensive for the cars themselves. The only issue i have with the game as it is right now is that the rewards we get for completing a series are kind of lackluster. 2000 coins and a little bit of xp along with some customization for my car isn’t gonna help much if I can’t level up to upgrade my car performance wise. I feel like the later levels are a challenge and I have to end up just skipping them with race tickets most of the time because my car performs the same as it did from the first series. If there is any way to lower the level to upgrade the performance or give us more xp and cash for completing a series, that would be awesome! Another thing that bugs me is that there’s only 5 cars at launch and one of them needs real cash to buy and the other two are super expensive(one being priced at 50 grand and the other one unlocked after you have two cars at lvl 5 and i don’t feel like wasting money on buying another tier one car.) I’m sure there will be more cars added as the game is updated more but if there could be a way to earn credits in game, that would be nice! Other than that, i’m really enjoying the game so far and I hope to keep playing it more as it gets updated!

Great game but the currency...

I love playing the game and how smooth it feels, but the currency does seem to be a downfall in my opinion. Giving the player a time limit on the contracts are understandable, but also making the player have limited passes to complete the contracts is unfair and unnecessary. The time limit is going to be up whenever the player possibly has more passes, but to make the issue worse is that the player also doesn't get a refund for the currency used upon activating the contract. Its a huge loophole that the player loses time and currency, making the consequence / loss bigger, creating a loss for motivation to continue playing. Please find an alternate route rather than buying or making the player wait, possibly not making the player to activate those contracts without the necessary passes. (The other side of the argument may argue that the player can do alternate contracts, to then buy said passes. But those contracts doesn't have enough currency / reward for the player to get the passes. I would rather possibly a "battle pass" in some sort where I can buy and earn xp towards that, very cliche but it'll make the experience more enjoyable!) - Kind Regards, Urvie

What a great hidden gem

The graphics, sound designs, user interface, music, all come together for a rather engaging experience. This game feels console quality. The addition of controller support is also greatly appreciated. Something that would be great to see is if we could get rid of the control interface. It would be great to just use a controller and take full advantage of the screen. I think that a game that plays and looks as good as this would greatly benefit from this. The energy system is also slightly annoying as I’d like to play for longer play sessions but its nice to see the drifting activists can be played at no cost. The open world is great and clearly shows that the developers and artists took great detail in creating it. I’ve played several racing games across all kinds of different consoles. This game has borrowed different game ideas and mechanics from various titles and its done it very well. I can also see a clear inspiration of Initial D, which is great! I look forward to further updates!

☆ Special Request ☆

Hi, I have a request for this game. I honestly don’t want to continue playing until it has been fulfilled… can you guys PLEASE add a new car? It honestly fits into the theme of this game PERFECTLY. Well, maybe a few cars. But i have one that I would love to have added to the game. It would look sick in SSR. Anyways, I would really like you guys to add a 1999 Toyota JZX100 Mark II. It honestly fits into the dark urban theme of the game really well. If you do add it, please also consider adding VIP cars or Yakuza style cars such as a Toyota Crown. Also, the latest Toyota Cresta. All of these cars go good with this game, please consider my request. Because when this update comes out, I’m buying the car. But most of all, it would be nice if you could add all of those Toyota, I don’t remember if there are any in the game, I don’t think so. But most of all, please add the Mark II JZX100. Please. It would be really cool. I know it is a lot of work, but this game needs more cars! Toyota! Anyways, TIA! ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

Fun but…

This game is great but the problem I have is if I’m not 1 shorting races I have to wait 20 minutes just for 1 race ticket makes no sense I usually just open this game like once a day due to the fact that im not a god and I have to keep retrying the same level then once I complete it I have to wait even longer for more race tickets… I can’t actually enjoy the game … why is there only a limit to 5 race tickets it should be at least 10 now I have to keep waiting everyday just to play this game… it’s really not that serious & it makes me just want to delete the game completely. I know I’m not the only one that feels this way it gets boring and repetitive. I can’t even do anything while I wait because the “open world” has nothing inside you just free roam “while you wait” nobody has time for that this is a free mobile game and it’s trying to be taken as serious as a console game. You should let everyone enjoy it without having to wait over an hour to fill up the “race tickets” and if I don’t 1 shot a race it’s over. I’m not going to keep retrying and waiting just to play it’s easier to just delete the game and forget about it completely.
