[R8] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 5/5 · US Wishing: I wish it had a like a job like an Uber or police I also want new maps like Hawaii or Los Angeles and wish that you can buy any car whith the coins even vip also whish it had laws so then you can run from the police for thrill also that way you pay money whish it also has motorcycles and whish there human characters and you had to pay for groceries and gas also whish you could be s.w.a.t
  4. [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
  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
  7. [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
  8. [R13] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 1/5 · US Good but…: Horrible, fun but glitchy ahhhhhhhh
  9. [R5] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 4/5 · US NOT BAD 👍🏻: All I want is the graphics be just like the ones in the pictures and a little less ads. That’s all but the game is fun so far 🥰
  10. [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 🥱
  11. [R16] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 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
  12. [R17] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 5/5 · US What a spectacular amazing classic: This game…. IS A MASTERPIECE the graphics is cool,so many cars and cosmetics, I feel like I’m in the 2000’s in a picnic playing this game and having fun.
  13. [R4] Extreme Car Driving Simulator 1/5 · US Remove ads is really expensive!!: Change the price!!!
  14. [R67] CSR 2 1/5 · US Pick a different racing game: Customer support is unresponsive. Game is constantly crashing.
  15. [R76] CSR 2 1/5 · US Poor game: They keep removing my review I guess because they don’t want people to see the truth. There is so many bugs in this game and YES it IS pay to win; coming from someone who has put money into this game. Most recent thing that concretes my dislike for this game & company is the fact that I had grinded for about 2 weeks in the season to get my 50 keys at the end, well when the season ended
  16. [R87] 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
  17. [R105] CSR 2 3/5 · GB Legends tokens: Love the game.I lost my account on crs1 years ago completely gutted. Started to play crs2 but the legends tokens/currency doesn’t add on I must be owed 4000 legends tokens. So I’m not gonna bother playing anymore.
  18. [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.
  19. [R73] CSR 2 1/5 · US Great game but pay to win at times…: Been enjoying the game, it’s helping my racing rival’s nostalgia. There needs to be a few chances though. Get rid of the pay to win, add ads if you need to make money. Spending $10 on $100,000 cash and 100 gold is ridiculous when I can just quit the game for the week and you will give me millions just to come back… OR make it say $1,000,000 and a couple cars fo
  20. [R85] CSR 2 1/5 · US $$$greedy$$$: This game clears $100 million a year. I don’t understand why selling parts of these cars are so damn expensive for video game set of charge 18 to 20 why not sell it for like 5 to 7 dollars. You would probably sell a hell of a lot more and would have a lot more downloads. I used to like this game, but after the second Tempest, it has got to where you have to spend a butt load of money
  21. [R90] CSR 2 3/5 · GB Don’t buy anything: Dont spend money on this game it’s a good game that’s why i givin it 3 stars but this game will shaft you the amount of gold keys iv used and never got a 5 star car . Some races require you to get a car with keys but I’ve never been able to as i always end up with a 3 star and not the car you need to actually do a race so you just have to keep spending real money to do a race y
  22. [R61] CSR 2 1/5 · US Fun but buggy: Genuinely made unplayable, didn’t have access to events for months , now load up the game and hit w pop up that says “try showdowns” when i click that my game freezes and its a cycle. Been like this for a week. Cant play a game ive spentmoney on, unreal.
  23. [R63] CSR 2 3/5 · US Game is great but is has some bugs: The game won’t let me load anything or click on a icon and im missing out on events and stats I can’t even do a simple upgrade or tune
  24. [R64] CSR 2 1/5 · US Only sundown racing. Issue: When open and all blackout racing and won’t let touch another racing it all frozen please you need fix it iPhone! App
  25. [R66] CSR 2 3/5 · 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
  26. [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.
