  2. [R9] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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
  3. [R10] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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 🥱

  5. [R1] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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
  6. [R7] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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

  8. [R37] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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.

  13. [R12] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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

[R15] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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.
  18. [R43] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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.
  19. [R78] Asphalt Legends 3/5 · US One problem…: This game ai have been enjoying with my friends for good amount of time! Graphics are good, cars looks amazing, and systems looks flawless. Though there’s one problem, which is making refill of the car or anything system that were free from computer to be an ad-based after you download into same account in the phone. I think this system should be fixed.
  20. [R80] Asphalt Legends 5/5 · US The best game that I played.: That is the best game that I ever played it’s realistic and physics are very good just like in real life, but there’s ads we don’t like ads so I hope the creator of this game, remove ads please, but it’s good and fun
