The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and the shift towards a pay-to-win model. Many players express frustration over the increased frequency of unskippable ads, particularly after races and during crate openings, which disrupts gameplay and progression. Additionally, the reliance on in-app purchases for unlocking content and the lengthy wait times for rewards have led to perceptions of the game as a cash grab, diminishing the overall enjoyment and fairness of the experience.
- “IAP isn't required to play and there's no advertising in the game.”
- “The in-app purchases are good and don't get in the way of gameplay.”
- “This game is the coolest game ever; I have never seen a game like it. Great graphics, great music, and even the in-app purchases are cheap. Seriously, a very good game.”
- “Honestly was a good game but ever since new cars have been added, it has become a pay-to-win in most events. The winner is someone who has used their own money to buy the best car for that event, while the rest of us don't even have a penny to spend on the game. Also, ads are just annoying.”
- “You can't open the crates you earn from each race without waiting 2-24 hours, or watching 2-24 video advertisements, or paying hundreds of dollars on expensive gems over time.”
- “This game has become ridiculous with ads. The ads totally ruin the fun and continuity.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its smooth mechanics, fun power-ups, and engaging graphics. However, players have expressed frustration over issues such as unbalanced AI, repetitive tracks, and a perceived shift towards pay-to-win mechanics. Suggestions for improvement include adding multiplayer options, new game modes, and addressing gameplay inconsistencies to enhance the overall experience.
- “Really fun and very competitive gameplay. I would like to suggest a new game mode like 2 player mode, mega mode (instead of 6 how about 10 racers with 3 laps), no power-up race. It would be really cool if you guys also add a new 'sky map' - it's like a race from the clouds with a cloud village or even a floating sky kingdom. By the way, keep up the good work! 😊”
- “The gameplay is great as it was in the first one. I also like that the maps are more interactive.”
- “The gameplay is addictive and interactive, although sometimes it needs strategy more than pure action to win any race.”
- “Unfair gameplay; if you are near the finish line, suddenly something will hit you and you will die, of course, but you will end up last.”
- “There's just so much that isn't under your control, and it makes for frustrating gameplay.”
- “The gameplay sucks; the computer will decide if you're going to win or not, the bots are more dominant than the real players.”

The reviews indicate a strong dissatisfaction with the lack of a story mode in the game, with many players expressing nostalgia for the narrative elements present in the first installment. Users feel that the current gameplay, which focuses on repetitive racing without a campaign or missions, detracts from the overall experience, making it feel shallow and unengaging. There is a consistent call for the reintroduction of a structured story mode, character missions, and offline play to enhance the game's depth and enjoyment.
- “It's a great game, but it's kind of hard. Truthfully, I brought part one on my Xbox One and it's hard too, but make storylines and/or levels like easy, medium, and hard.”
- “I think the first game set a high standard for this game because the other one had a story and you actually unlocked the characters and progressed. This one is more like a chest open, wait, then race, repeat. If they brought back the story, it would be amazing.”
- “Very beautiful and good game. I'm a big fan of Beach Buggy Racing. I think a story mode should be added, and also online racing with friends.”
- “This game is awesome but it's also meaningless compared to Beach Buggy Racing 1 because it has no storyline.”
- “New one has not any interesting story like the earlier one... this is so boring.”
- “No story line, no offline or online multiplayer and I can't even upgrade my car... all we do is race with bots match after match!”
