Recurring themes

Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads. Users report ads appearing every few minutes, after every action (like pausing or changing cars), and often getting stuck or redirecting to the app store. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'fixed multiple bugs and issues reported by the community' if ad-related issues are considered bugs. The cost to remove ads is also seen as exorbitant.R6R20R27R38
Nostalgia mixed
Many long-time players express deep nostalgia for the game, remembering it fondly from their childhood. However, this positive sentiment is often paired with disappointment over how the game has changed, particularly regarding ads, graphics, and gameplay mechanics, with some feeling it has been 'ruined' or 'massacred'.R10R28R29R30
Performance & Bugs negative
Despite developer notes claiming 'improved performance, optimization, and stability' and 'fixed multiple bugs', many recent reviews report ongoing issues with lag, glitches, and the game crashing or hanging. Specific bugs include cars becoming undrivable after reaching 5 stars and controls not working correctly.R26R59R73R121
Difficulty/Progression negative
The career mode is a significant source of frustration, with players describing levels as 'impossible' or 'rage bait'. Some note that even with maxed-out cars, bosses are unbeatable. This contradicts the developer's claim of 'Increased rewards across multiple game modes to make progression faster and more rewarding' if the difficulty makes progression impossible.R23R56R64R66
Graphics/Realism negative
Many users are disappointed with the game's graphics, stating they do not match the store pictures and are often 'choppy' or 'bad'. There are also complaints about a lack of realism in car physics and environments.R3R12R21R31

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy open-world car driving simulators with a focus on stunts and customization, especially those with a nostalgic connection to older versions of the game R10R45. It might appeal to casual players who don't mind frequent interruptions for ads R28.

Evidence note: The recent review sample skews heavily negative, primarily due to ad frequency and performance issues. While many positive reviews exist, they often come with caveats about ads or are from users with strong nostalgic ties who overlook current issues. The developer's release notes directly contradict user experiences regarding bug fixes and performance improvements.

  11. [R6] 2/5 · US Horrible: The ads take up half my screen the ui is awful the only good thing is that the maps are nice. This could have been better if I wasn’t hit with ads 24/7
  12. [R20] 1/5 · US You’d think it was a game for displaying pop-up ads: Used to play this all the time when I was a kid (~10+ yrs ago) and I remember having gotten ads at the time; this, however, is ridiculous. You can’t play for five minutes without getting an ad, and even when you’re not getting an ad that bars you from playing, 20% of the screen is ads that are just waiting for you to misclick. Add to that the fa
  13. [R27] 3/5 · US Pretty good but: It’s a pretty good car game but way too many ads I was playing and then a ad popped up and when it ended I couldn’t get out of it. It would keep going into the App Store
  14. [R38] 1/5 · US Ads: The ads get stuck and will not close after watching them. Play for less than a minute another ad popups. Again it get stuck.
  15. [R12] 4/5 · US good game but doesn’t look like the pictures: the game is great but i wish it would look like the photos
  16. [R21] 1/5 · US Ba graphics: It has a horrible graphics and the concept is boring there really is no challenge and I can’t even play with my friend in multiplayer I have to unlock certain levels don’t download it 🥱
  17. [R31] 1/5 · US Gameplay: This isn’t Forza this isn’t the game I remember from my childhood and how are the graphics still choppy? What a mimic of a Forza game but low tier asf
  18. [R23] 3/5 · US Meh: Okay so this game is fun and stuff but the extreme fest level that has two skinny bars is almost impossible and multiplayer should show you how to create a lobby plus I think there should be a part on here where you can send a friend request to people
  19. [R56] 1/5 · US sucks: level 9 on chapter 2 of the racing is impossible because on the jumps most of the cars flip midair and you lose the race
  20. [R64] 1/5 · US Rage bait: Career mode is rage bait one race took me a whole week to complete
  21. [R66] 3/5 · US Career mode: I’m on the A class career mode and level 9 is way too hard to do with a A class car with a car like that your always running into walls please make a car that will go up the tower better.
  22. [R26] 1/5 · US Good but…: Horrible, fun but glitchy ahhhhhhhh

  24. [R73] 2/5 · US BRING BACK THE REVENTON 😭😭: I PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE 2016 I CAME BACK IN 2025 AND NOW THE REVENTON IS GONE! PLUS THE GRAPHICS ARE TERRIBLE, THE GAME IS LAGGY, AND THERE’S TOO MUCH ADS! FIX IT! BRING BACK THE OLD MAP! GIVE OUR LAMBORGHINI REVENTON BACK!!
  25. [R121] 1/5 · US Used to be good: Too much glitching, lockups and bad advertisements. The latest update ruined the game. I can barely play it anymore without restarting several times. It got some better once I got the ad free version. Still has quirks and hangs. Can’t do any of the races, it just hangs on finding players. The crates you open to win prizes disappeared as well. Game is getting worse not better.
  26. [R8] 1/5 · US Remove ads is really expensive!!: Change the price!!!
  27. [R68] 1/5 · US Is too expensive: Is too hard to buy the VIP Pass because it was too expensive. I unlock a little bit cars and it’s too hard to buy expensive car this game want me to waste MONEY WILL YOU PLEASE MAKE IT CHEAPER EVERYTHING PLEASE!!!!!!! WILL YOU
  28. [R83] 1/5 · US Overpriced: Priced yourself out of the market lol. Definitely would’ve got me at $3.99 for as free even before I played and didn’t like it. $25 for no ads is wild.
  29. [R173] 1/5 · US Ads: Way too many ads and the no ads option is 100 dollars for a lifetime, 5 dollars for a day and 10 dollars for two days. What a scam.

  36. [R29] 5/5 · US Guys remember the old version: It used to be so old back in the year
  37. [R126] 1/5 · US Can’t remove ads on buildings: Paid the remove ads fee and still ads on buildings
  38. [R48] 3/5 · US Very Fun but lots of ads: This game is so fun and I’ve had it since I was little but the amount of ads that this game has is unholy, I’ve used more of my time watching ads that actually playing the game. Also, for every little thing, there are ads, pause and continue the game? Ads Customize my vehicle? Ads and ads and more ads.
  39. [R69] 1/5 · US Full of ads not playable at all: The game is full of ads now the banner ads are annoying af because it moves up the controls and when the ads is gone the controls stays on the glitched spot. Whose genius idea was it to put banner ads on a mobile game. Instant delete even though I’ve had the game in my phone throughout the years
  40. [R37] 5/5 · US download this,you’ll never get unhappy: this is the best game ever =) and i am happy that it has multiplayer but if you could can you also add chat in the multiplayer mode
