  1. [R21] CSR Racing 3/5 · US Bring Back Multiplayer Mode!: CSR Racing is a beautifully designed drag racing game that has been loved by fans for its stunning graphics, simple mechanics, and engaging gameplay. It’s perfect for those who want a quick yet exciting racing experience. The ability to upgrade and customize cars has always been a major draw, creating a rewarding progression system. However, the game has felt a bit l
  2. [R62] CSR 2 4/5 · US CSR Racing 2: I have played this game for years now and the game is awesome. My biggest problem with the game is the car prize crates. Over the years I have acquired a lot of cars but no we’re near all the cars in the game. Anytime I open the crates I get the same cars over and over. CSR Racing 2 has an amazing selection of cars but I can’t seem to get some of my favorite cars in the game even aft
  3. [R78] CSR 2 3/5 · US The worst rewards and update ever!: I truly lost interest playing this game except for collecting the daily rewards (which they became useless lately). For the past year or so I have not gotten any good cars , I always get the ones I already have …I completely stopped playing the silver keys events, because you get the worst cars ever. In addition, any event you can only play the first three raci
  4. [R3] CSR Racing 3/5 · US Buttons too small: Nothing more frustrating than losing a race only because I missed the tiny NOS or upshift button. Those two buttons should consume one entire side of the screen.
  5. [R64] CSR 2 2/5 · US Potentially a great game, but broken: I downloaded the game last night, and it has beautiful graphics, a fun storyline, and good mechanics. It does look like it will turn more into a “pay to win” kind of game - but I’ll never find out, as the game won’t function properly. I can press some buttons on the map, but most just highlight and don’t do anything more than that. A racing game where I can’t
  6. [R70] CSR 2 2/5 · US Game messing up: My game keeps freezing and the screens blacked out when you go into the showdown. I can’t click on any race
  7. [R34] CSR Racing 1/5 · US Zynga will eventually screw up your account, in my experience‼️‼️: I put in years.. and they screwed up my game to where I couldn’t play after investing years‼️This is not the first game this has happened to by Zynga‼️It’s actually the second game I have experienced this‼️Again after years or shorter, they screwed up my & others peoples accounts‼️You will here about it in the game as well‼️Especia
  8. [R61] CSR 2 1/5 · US Waste of time and money: This game at one time was fun and fair but the developers have to be greedy and most of the new events will cost you extra to play. They have numerous issues with the game crashing for months and have done nothing to correct it. They just keep adding more pay to play events. After 10 years of playing I am tired of being treated like dirt and will be leaving the game.
  9. [R118] CSR 2 1/5 · US Game frozen: Great game to play. Best graphics of any game that I have played. But it keeps glitching, 2nd time in a month. This is ridiculous. Wait for Showdown to be done? Going to delete the app.
  10. [R28] CSR Racing 1/5 · US Change your prices!!!: Money is hard to earn, things are super expensive, that’s why people stop playing or delete the game, over priced if everything is cheaper to buy including parts, gold, and money more people will play
  11. [R85] CSR 2 1/5 · US Pay to play: Would give 0 stars if I could. It’s a great game but it’s definitely pay to play. If you don’t pay a mass amount of money than there is no way of beating a bunch of the series that are put out randomly. Also there is not enough time to beat the series either. With little time and having to spend tons of money to achieve or win things makes this game not the best. It’s a waste of time
  12. [R106] CSR 2 1/5 · US Money hungry: Sick of the pay to participate event. This game doesn’t just want your money in hand in wants your savings as welll! It’s a GAME & you all ruined it. Let’s quit supporting phone games like this
  13. [R43] CSR Racing 1/5 · US Don’t spend money: Game itself is awesome but theirs no way too back up your game and if you spend any money on it the game starts too crash and they don’t refund your money at all or reimburse the money value in game which is all I wanted I. The first place I didn’t even get a chance too use my gold coins that I paid for because as soon as I spent money the game crashed and then wouldn’t get past
  14. [R102] CSR 2 3/5 · US Payment problems: It’s a good game but I lost 18$ to a crate for my dodge viper snake skin on the bigger crates. I’ve tried to get a hold of customer support but I couldn’t talk to anyone
  15. [R120] CSR 2 3/5 · GB Game is good but it’s pay to win.: The only way to progress in this game is if the developers want to give you free stuff, basically nothing and even once you progress there’s a chance of a account wipe which is what has happened to me.. they think I’m cheating because I’m doing well for myself but it’s quite literally impossible to get to the level some people are at.. Improve the rewards for fre
  16. [R1] CSR Racing 1/5 · US Cannot delete: Cannot delete app once it was downloaded
