The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the introduction of forced, unskippable ads after races, which detracts from the overall experience.

“No ads whatsoever unless you want to see them!!!”
“Great car game with cool graphics with perfect in-app purchase rates.”

“The ads are out of control, so be prepared to watch an ad every time you finish a race.”
“It's one thing to have ads you can choose to watch in order to obtain goods, it's another to be obligated to watch after the race; it breaks my mojo and makes me want to turn the game off immediately!”
“I wanted to give this game a 5-star rating, but why am I forced to watch ads after completing every race? Why?”

The game's story aspect has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over repetitive missions and a lack of engaging narrative elements. Users have noted issues with AI behavior during races, making it difficult to progress, and have called for more diverse missions and an expanded open world similar to games like GTA V.

“I rate this game 5 stars because the graphics of this game are very good and the missions and races are fantastic.”

“A beautiful game, but there are some missions in which you can never win, and even if you change the gear or anything you do, you do not win.”
“The AI for the story mode games is broken; they have this speed glitch where they rubber band so far ahead that if you can't get first by the first corner, you lose the race.”
“It's pay to win, and you can't even finish all the 'story' modes because it doesn't let you get the cars needed unless you pay real money.”
“It is a game for us to have fun, not to make us nervous because of a foolish mission in which you will never be able to win.”
