  28. [R41] Asphalt Legends 1/5 · US Broken game: Nice and all but the fact that you’re just forced into an ad with no way to go back to your game other than hard closing it makes it an impossible loop to be able to keep playing. Sucks because I used to play this years ago and was exited to get back to it…
  29. [R45] Asphalt Legends 2/5 · US It’s ok.: The game is great, the features and mechanics are perfect. But I downloaded this last night after having it on my iPad, I played a bit and now today trying to go in to play a few races, it gave me 3 ads before I could even touch anything. That’s not okay in any sense. I didn’t think this was a game filled with ads, because on my iPad, I never got ads and I didn’t get ads the four hours I

  32. [R78] CarX Street 3/5 · US Not my style: This game is awesome and I love the amazing graphics and attention to detail, But it feels to realistic. What I mean is that I just want to sit back and drive/drift around, but I have to worry about tire pressure, gas, not crashing into other cars and it’s just too much. I keep playing this game because it’s the only game with good graphics, a good map, good car models and physics, a
