The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent glitches and bugs reported that often render it unplayable. Players experience issues such as freezing during races, loss of progress, and problems with in-game purchases, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. While some users appreciate the game's potential and features, the overwhelming consensus is that persistent stability issues need urgent attention from developers.
“Runs great.”
“Some of the glitches make the game unplayable; change of tunes every update, still tree issues, account issues, etc. and staff is usually nice, but some of the people that follow them act extremely unprofessional when any criticism is brought up and it makes them look bad.”
“The game glitches constantly.”
“Every time I get close to the finish line, it just freezes. I can't do anything; it's so stupid. Please fix it! I've read other reviews and they all had the same problem; can't even play the game.”

The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on watching ads to earn gold, which is necessary for competitive play. While some appreciate the lack of intrusive ads, they find the current system of earning gold through ads to be tedious and insufficient, often requiring excessive ad views for minimal rewards. Additionally, there are complaints about in-app purchases and technical issues that hinder the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as somewhat pay-to-win.
“The game is one of the best drag racing games on mobile that I have played so far, and the best part is there are no ads.”
“Graphics are incredible, in-game purchases are affordable, and the game support is amazing!”
“Best drag racing game on the Play Store, and best of all, no ads.”
“It has the option to watch 3 to 4 ads to get 1 gold, but to take that much time just to get 2 turbos is slightly ridiculous after how much time I already put into the game.”
“To get gold bars is ridiculous; watch heaps of ads only to get 1 gold bar every 3 ads.”
“This game would be 5 stars if you didn't have to watch a million ads to get 1 gold, and not only that, it costs 20 to 50 gold to install turbo, NOS, or a blower. Please make it easier to get gold and I will give you the 5 stars I know this game deserves.”

The humor aspect of the game is largely tied to the excitement and thrill of racing against live competitors, which keeps players engaged and entertained. However, many users express a desire for the inclusion of "funny cars" and other unique vehicle types to enhance the comedic and enjoyable experience further. Overall, while the game is praised for its fun racing format, the lack of humorous vehicle options is a common point of feedback.
“I feel like I'm there; not many games can do that. The heads-up races, exploding motors, losses and wins within seconds against real players keep me laughing and the blood pumping.”
“Great new update, but add import cars, JDM funny cars, and dragsters. Make it easier to get what we want, but overall, it's a great game.”
“I love the game! You need to add funny cars and rail dragsters; that would be awesome!”
“The humor in this game falls flat and feels forced, making it hard to enjoy.”
“I expected some clever jokes, but the attempts at humor are cringeworthy and unoriginal.”
“The comedic elements are so weak that they detract from the overall experience.”

The optimization of the game is a mixed bag; while it offers intricate performance customization options and a wide variety of cars, players note a lack of aesthetic customization and underdeveloped graphics, particularly in suspension and undercarriage details. The performance feels repetitive, with AI opponents often outpacing players, leading to concerns about balance and the potential for pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, while the game excels in drag racing mechanics, it falls short in delivering a fully immersive and authentic visual experience.
“Very intricate options that allow a wide range of customization of performance with both online and offline play.”
“This game is the best drag racing game out there. Love it... so many cars to choose from, so many performance packages, different driving modes, customize everything... it's truly the best game for drag racing.”
“Feel like I'm inside the driver set so much performance from the blower. I think you should create part 2.”
“But the performance side is very repetitive, though you are choosing different cars.”
“No suspension and or undercarriage graphics...underdeveloped graphics however audio is pretty spot on including exhaust flames and burn-outs... eventually pay to play becomes a factor however the tuning for top performance is a little sketchy as the tournament AI cars just straight up smoke you.”
“Same as the 1st all cars have the same performance.”

Reviewers express a desire for a more engaging story and additional challenges within the game, suggesting that a story-based career mode and missions for earning in-game currency would enhance the experience. The current system is perceived as lacking depth, with some players feeling it leans towards a pay-to-win model. Overall, the need for more content and variety in gameplay is a common theme.
“I feel it needs a few more challenges or a storyline to keep interest in the game longer and earn gold or upgrades.”
“It just needs more cars and a story-based career mode.”
“I'll just rate 3 stars because it's hard to earn gold and it's pay-to-win. Please add other methods to earn gold, like daily missions or anything, not just buying gold.”

“If I can get it back without grinding for four more days, that would be great.”
