What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Bugfixes and improvements

Recurring themes

Performance Issues negative
Many users report frequent glitches, freezing, and crashes, especially during loading or multiplayer. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'Bugfixes and improvements' in the latest update.R4R39R51R53
Controls & Physics negative
A significant number of reviews criticize the game's controls, particularly steering, describing them as loose, unresponsive, or difficult, leading to frustrating gameplay and collisions.R3R27R57R69
Ads negative
A pervasive complaint is the excessive number of ads, which appear too frequently (e.g., after every session or button click) and are sometimes unskippable, severely disrupting the user experience.R32R38R57R70

While some appreciate the existing cars and customization, many users request more maps, car models (including specific brands), visual customization options, and interactive elements like entering buildings or having more dynamic traffic/weather.R5R9R13R20
Monetization & Progression negative
Users feel that cars are too expensive, requiring in-app purchases or making progression difficult without paying. The game is perceived as forcing players to buy 'diamond' cars to complete levels, creating a pay-to-win dynamic.R57R96R223R278

Several players express disappointment that the chat feature in multiplayer is disabled or missing, impacting social interaction.R1R21R63R82

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy free-to-play car driving simulations and appreciate decent graphics and car customization R7R20R30. It might appeal to those looking for a casual driving experience without needing internet access R15.

  7. [R20] 5/5 · US Stickers: We need more stickers and car customization
  8. [R30] 4/5 · US Some of the car are a little expensive: W game but some fixes. First I feel like the police car should not have to cost money. Secondly the semi truck should cost like 5 million coins not money. I also wish that there was not a lot of ads. Overall great graphics and realistic gameplay.
  9. [R28] 5/5 · US PLEASE READ THIS REVEIW: It is a great game! You can practice your driving and drive free. There are some ads but not as much as any other games. You can change the car type, your character and much more. Get this game on right now. It is better than great. I hope they make even more games cause the quality is super nice. Please make more options on where to drive and more traffic. Also they have
  10. [R344] 3/5 · GB Good game but…: It’s a great game and I would recommend it to lots of people, but the areas where you can roam free are very limited and they are almost impossible to tell from each other without looking at the map. I really enjoy the taxi mode and all the other options but maybe just some other areas to drive to add a little more depth of experience in the game. THANKS
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US Horrible: Dear car people, please don’t make my car freeze and the game lag. Thank you! By the way I love my new car!

  13. [R53] 1/5 · US From Jake: I hate this game whenever I start the game it always lags me out of the freaking game what!😡
  14. [R87] 1/5 · US What the glitch?: I’ve been playing this game for 2 years and every time I join multiplayer the app crashes and exits me out of the enter app. If you have so many updates then you would think they would actually fix something!
  15. [R3] 4/5 · US 8/10: It’s the control for me. It’s no way I’m sliding on the high way like it’s snowing when it’s not. Everything else is fine. The picture could’ve been a little more better but other that this is a pretty good game
  16. [R27] 1/5 · US Fix the steering now: I tried to get to the bottom of the mountain and every time a tern came up I hit and hit the barrier
  17. [R57] 3/5 · US this game is fun but…: the adds are crazy every butten i click a add shows up and the traffic lights are bad i don’t even have a chance to turn or go and the cars are way to much money not the coins the money how do u get it. its still fun tho and the steering is not good it goes the other defection i want it to go.. plz fix it. Thanks
  18. [R113] 1/5 · US The worst game I have ever played: The controls are so loose I get wrecked so much it frustrates me. It’s my least favorite game. it reminds me of my grandma‘s old van. should be for 100th graders. they are still in school
  19. [R88] 2/5 · US Ads: Too many ads.
  20. [R136] 1/5 · US Game: The ads are to much
  21. [R181] 1/5 · US Demasiados anuncios no puedo ni jugar 😂: Manejar 1 minuto para ver un anuncio de 5 minutos 🤣wao
  22. [R5] 3/5 · US Room For Improvement: I’ve had this game for a few years now and they’ve done pretty good on the updates, but there are Still a few key things they need to change. They need to add more maps. They only have a few maps that get pretty boring quick. Also they need to work on their bots they are highly unresponsive and crash into each other. You know it’s bad when computers are starting their own tra
  23. [R9] 5/5 · US Pls more cars: This game is awesome but if we could get more car sedans maybe something similar to a Honda accord or a Toyota Camry or Corolla. Regardless this is a really good game.
  24. [R13] 5/5 · US One Small Request: My son asked me to give this game a solid 5 stars. However, he has a small request. He would love it if the map from Yield on Highway (Chapter 1, Level 4) could be included in the single-player free-drive mode. He really liked that there was a three-lane highway in that level.
  25. [R22] 5/5 · US Pls add these lov the game: Love game but pls add a 2022 Nissan Altima midnight edition free and free 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD pls and let us enter houses and add stores pls. Love this game
  26. [R96] 3/5 · US Car drinking 2026: The only em reason why I have it a 3 is because it’s hard to collect money for the career thing in the the game and they hehe cads for millions of dollars like I can’t get all of that money that fast
  27. [R315] 3/5 · GB There’s one problem…: It’s a decent game but it evolves to quick it’s basically forcing you to pay money to play the game. For example on chapter 3 level 8 you have to have a diamond car to complete the level but I only had like 30 thousand coins at that time and the cheapest diamond car was 1 million. Please downgrade the rarity you have to have to complete this stage
  28. [R332] 3/5 · GB Decent game but evolves too quick: The issue I have with this game is that to continue with levels you have to get better (therefore more expensive) cars which I understand but the developers have made the game nearly impossible since it requires going from bronze to golden to platinum or something meaning the evolution is from a free car to around 60k all the way up to 3M (the cheapest of each ca
  29. [R1] 4/5 · US Add chat back: The game is good but could you make more realistic and PLS add chat back
  30. [R21] 5/5 · US Yo: Every time I go online it says chat disabled temporarily can you fix it pls
  31. [R63] 1/5 · US No chat?!: It’s fun but you turned off chat?!😡😡😡
  32. [R82] 3/5 · US Ideas: Add the chat back, let us go inside the houses, and make us have to get gas
  33. [R70] 2/5 · US Pls read this: First things first every time I play a ad comes up and the takes like forever and my screen is not even realistic enough and the ai cars keep stoping or get stuck on the road but behind that it is a very good entertainment game
  34. [R33] 1/5 · US Can’t download: I have enough space to download but it’s not actually downloading it’s just giving me the cloud with the down arrow
  35. [R120] 3/5 · US Stop loading already 😡🙁😭: Ok so when I go in the game it shows the credits and all that and then after that it goes to the loading screen that's what I'm upset about the loading screen would always load a little bit and then it would just stay on that screen forever and it's so annoying it won't even let me play the game because it's loading I hate this glitch so much I just wanted to play the gam
  36. [R122] 1/5 · US It can’t load: The game can’t Evan load I was a stuck at the loading screen
  37. [R125] 2/5 · US The game: The game won't download · translated
  38. [R78] 1/5 · US Trash🪦🪦🪦🪦🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️: It has almost the worst graphics ever and I would never ever play a game that hAvE bad Graphics And for me it looks like I can build a grave for this N O
  39. [R229] 1/5 · US Do not download!!! 💀: This game is not like the pictures at all. I had a horrible time steering and deleted it in less then five minutes. This game is horrible don’t waste your time on trying this game. I like to look for realistic games. This is not the one. I rate this game zero stars.
  40. [R39] 4/5 · US Pls fix this I love this game!!!!!!!!!: This game is awesome, I love the cars, and especially all the worlds you can drive in. I have had the game for 4 years. But, there has been a problem in the game every time I try to play a career lesson or single player, it loads, then the game crashes. The other problem is that after some updates, it’s extremely glitchy and almost can’t be played sometimes.
  41. [R69] 2/5 · US Shanice: The speed and the brake pressure are both very different from other games
  42. [R32] 4/5 · US To many adds change it: My go to game so fun and relaxing I love it so much but too many adds 😩 other than that its really good
  43. [R38] 4/5 · US Fun but too many ads.: This game is cool and fun but I put 4 stars because it has too many ads.
  44. [R223] 1/5 · US WORST GAME EVER: I bout this game and after a week or to i got kiked out all the time do not download this game it is terble And u half to pay for some cars TERBLE
  45. [R278] 2/5 · GB Bugs: Honestly made me upset to see how many bugs despite the so called bug fix. The game breaks every few levels and not to mention the cars are so overly priced for the little you earn each level. I am out of options with little money I cannot afford Gold and above cars because I just do not have enough money from the levels I’ve completed. Ads also break and I think there’s just too many. You
  46. [R29] 4/5 · US Needs more levels: I love the game but it needs more levels because I completed them all so I don’t play as much anymore.
