  1. [R16] 4/5 · US 1 vs 1 private , car trades and gas limit: I’ve been a huge Need for Speed fan since the PlayStation days, and Need for Speed: No Limits is honestly my favorite mobile racing game. I’ve spent countless hours playing it because the graphics, customization, and progression are fantastic. That’s why I’m writing this, I truly want to see the game reach its full potential. The biggest issue for me is t
  2. [R40] 5/5 · US Great: I love this game but feel they should make getting cool cars easier
  3. [R60] 5/5 · US Amazing!!!!!: I love the game, it has the same feel like the console games, great game
  4. [R26] 3/5 · US Good… But pay to win: The game is fun and has a wide selection of cars to choose from. It’s easy to learn, easy to pick up, and great if you just want to relax and enjoy a racing game. The problem is the insane number of paywalls they throw at you. The ticket and fuel system (basically the game’s energy system) is extremely limited. You’d think leveling up would increase your fuel capacity or gi
  5. [R24] 5/5 · US Great Game!: Why? Because it’s ultra-realistic, the story knows where it’s going, and it’s really fun. But I really wish it was also open world.
  6. [R66] 5/5 · US Addicting as Heck!: Loved Need for speed Most Wanted back on PS2. Now, having this on my iPad is super awesome and I love the car gameplay so far, easy to use and so far FUN
  7. [R10] 1/5 · US Need is pay to win: There too much bug in the game that needs to be fixed and also with mission such as special is bug which make player who not money spend can’t get the car.
  8. [R23] 1/5 · US PAY TO WIN TRASH: If you don't pay- you don't win. You'll get nickeled and dined to death to get any good cars- costs even more to make them cars that can win races. Was fun for a few days until I finished all the free stuff. This game is made to steal money.
  9. [R61] 1/5 · US Pay to play: I played this game years ago when it just got out. And now i redownloaded it again then I figured why i removed it in the first place. You will reach a point where u won’t get any more progress unless you buy the packs or you’re gonna get stuck. You either pay the in app purchase or be sooo dedicated to the game to advance, which are both not very convenient for an adult with a job. M
  10. [R83] 2/5 · US Pay to win: Love the game but so many of the events are impossible to complete in the time frame unless you pay or have loads of gold saved up or just have the most perfect luck to get exactly what parts you need when you need them and if you just don’t sleep and spend all night grinding so you don’t waste a single special event ticket
  11. [R11] 1/5 · US Terrible update need for speed the loading screens up: Ever since new update, in between races takes 10X as long as it did, nobody wants to sit an look at a loading screen for minutes on end, I cant even race anymore its too frustrating. Used to be fun and quick now you have to sit for minutes on end looking at a loading screen, Its called need for speed but the speed of loading screen is like a
  12. [R21] 2/5 · US Doesn’t load: Every day I try to play but the loading screen takes forever, it’s a waste of my time and storage 2 stars.
  13. [R49] 1/5 · US Too laggy: Game is super laggy and impossible to play races and races never load
  14. [R32] 3/5 · US Server connection error: Always show reconnecting to server after 3 or 4 races and never be able to play again.I’ve been switching data and WiFi again and again but it doesn’t work.Please fix this.
  15. [R8] 3/5 · US Why adds?: Why am i getting adds ???
  16. [R55] 1/5 · US Too much pop ups: Way too many pop ups. I was just tryna race and got like 100 stuff to x out
  17. [R210] 3/5 · GB Fun game but forced adverts: The game itself is fun, races are easy with plenty of customisation. Once you hit rep 35 you are forced to watch adverts every 2 or 3 races, unless you pay £10 to get a certain VIP level and then you can turn them off, other then that the game plays great, just a shame that you have to watch adverts constantly
  18. [R19] 1/5 · US No controller support: No controller support
  19. [R28] 1/5 · US Controller: Game is under controller support but does not have any controller options in game. Very sad
  20. [R45] 2/5 · US Controller support: Needs controller support
  21. [R296] 3/5 · GB Give us controller support: We want controller support
