The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the simple mechanics and engaging features, while others criticize the reliance on loot boxes and pay-to-win elements that diminish skill-based competition. Many find the game entertaining and visually appealing, but issues like bugs, slow progression, and a skewed balance against AI detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, some users appreciate the lack of ads and in-app purchases, highlighting the potential for fun gameplay if the monetization model were adjusted.
“Mad fun, quite thrilling and excellent gameplay.”
“Gameplay is challenging but not impossible.”
“Great gameplay love the tracks and graphics keeps you on your toes.”
“This is a lootbox pay-to-win game; the physics are on par with Cruisin' USA from 25 years ago, except Cruisin' is somehow better. The advertised screenshots are not at all like the gameplay.”
“Gameplay requires no skill and is dependent upon how many upgrades you have made from the lootboxes you've obtained.”
“Competing against the computer is purely skewed towards the user's gameplay and is most probably tuned towards an optimal lose/win balance in order to give the illusion of achievement.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes that significantly hinder gameplay. Players frequently experience issues such as freezing, loss of progress, and unresponsive controls, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. While some users report occasional smooth experiences, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game is plagued by instability, making it largely unplayable for many.
“So far, bug-free and no issues.”
“This game is a disappointment; there are so many glitches and bugs everywhere. The thing that annoys me is that you always have to finish 1st+ doing a quest in the seasons. It could just be 'finish 1st, (the quest), finish with a rally car or truck or something like that.'”
“After reading some of the 1-star ratings, I uninstalled the game. The game is too buggy, and losing player progress kills it.”
“What was a fun, addictive game now feels buggy and unsupported.”

The music in the game receives generally positive feedback, with many players praising the soundtrack and sound effects as enjoyable and well-designed. However, some users express a desire for more variety and the return of classic tracks, indicating that the current selection has become repetitive.

“Some of the songs slap.”
“The graphics and music are very well designed.”
“I like the settings for the camera, controls, and the music, but it would be a pleasure to add some real music and make it easier for drifting like 450 meters; that's just too much, especially in a hard drifting map.”
“Please Netflix, bring back the Gameloft data, especially the theme music and gameplay music, and the cars too; there are not many cars as there used to be.”
“I'm really glad Netflix revived this game, but I do miss a lot of the soundtrack.”

“A bit too 'grindy' considering there aren't any microtransactions.”
“Worst game, even more grindy compared to most of the free games.”
“Even without pay-to-win disabled due to Netflix, it's still a grindy game that requires 100% online play and buying loot boxes with lots of in-game grinding.”
