  1. [R5] Highway Rider 5/5 · US The first thing I thought of when I saw the video of the game: This was just the best game I ever played in my whole entire life all because it is very fun and not just fun but also very satisfying to my opinion
  2. [R6] Highway Rider 3/5 · US Nostalgia just isn’t there: Honestly they ruined it with the new version. If it was possible to make a setting to change the game to the og graphics and physics it would bring that feeling back.. and the moment I saw the ad after just dying once had me lokey tear up ngl, and the gameplay is slower than it used to be, but that could be just the fact I’m old now but still
  3. [R8] Highway Rider 5/5 · US CHANGE IT BACK TO THE OLD WAY: This game was WAYYYYYYY more fun than it is now SO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK
  4. [R9] Highway Rider 3/5 · US Why did they remove helmets?: Ruined the game
  5. [R7] Highway Rider 1/5 · US Still missing updated iPad graphics: Update March 2026: The turning controls are now reversed, with no way to change them, so if you turn to the right, you actually go left. And the amount, type, and length of adds is really bad. Review update for version 1.8.4: Most of the crashes on iOS 8 devices when collecting mPoints have been fixed. However, the updated graphics introduced last year still
  6. [R27] Highway Rider 3/5 · US game is fun but not good for right handed people: Overall this game is fun. I play with the ads and I get an ad after ever ride, but you can skip the ads after a couple of seconds. There are different challenges and races, so it doesn’t feel repetitive. However, this game isn’t really a friendly game for people with dominant right hands. To start off, the game is played with your device tilted.
  7. [R72] Rush Hour 3D 3/5 · US Placement of Gems: Can you think of a more annoying place to put the gems that are collected on overtakes?
  8. [R1] Highway Rider 1/5 · US I spent money it did not give caps and to meny adds: L game
  9. [R4] Highway Rider 1/5 · US Where is my gas caps: I just spent $6 on this game and it don’t give me my gas caps I need refund now

  12. [R19] Highway Rider 1/5 · US Greed loses customers: This game used to be my favorite mobile game with the rice rocket bike. Now its trash and yhey shove idiot game ads in your face as soon as you doe once. F that. Im not waiting for those stupid ads to end to play another round. I deleted the whole game. So for the douche bags who thought changing it up and stuffing it full of ads would do something for you, no. It lost a lon
  13. [R10] Highway Rider 2/5 · US New update: Version 2.4 is better than 2.3 or 2.2, but I used to play this game all the time until I updated to version 2.2. Can you please update the app so it was like version 1.9. I miss getting awarded with gas caps, the blood, and riding with the Junkie, (guy in the motorcycle outfit.) Also the background and the nurse on the next page, and at the before the game started with the motorcycle w
  14. [R12] Highway Rider 3/5 · US A rating: The old version was way better
  15. [R15] Highway Rider 3/5 · US How they can make it better: This game has been out for years now longer than fortnight there’s time for another up or can we go back to the older version I was way better there where more characters and bikes and when the characters die they used to come out the hospital
  16. [R43] Highway Rider 1/5 · US Money money money money, monay: Spend more time watching ads than actually playing, crazzzyyy
  17. [R58] Highway Rider 2/5 · US Way to many ads: You can’t even skip some of these
  18. [R57] Highway Rider 3/5 · GB Used to be great, now...not so much: Collision detection is distinctly flawed. Which is ironic for a game like this. And the improved graphics? I don’t see much difference except that it makes the game almost unplayable on a standard iPhone screen because you can’t see what’s coming...
  19. [R74] Rush Hour 3D 5/5 · US The leaderboard for races: It’s a good game but Everytime I play the races to reach first 1st place I hit it everytime I get 1st it bugs out
  20. [R78] Rush Hour 3D 3/5 · US Bugs: My missions are broken to the point where if I complete it, it doesn’t count fix this bug and I’ll return to the game
