- “Improve the graphics a little more, the tires and grill of the vehicle look bad in the game.”

The game's story aspect is generally criticized for being uninspired and lacking depth, with many players noting that missions become repetitive and fail to engage.

Players express a desire for more diverse and challenging missions, as well as a richer storyline akin to that of other popular titles like GTA.

- “Also, the storyline sucks.”
- “This game is fine but the problem is that the story mode was too boring and in open world we can do nothing; we can only drive a car, which is too boring.”

The stability of the game is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches during missions, lag issues, and mobile performance problems that lead to overheating and crashes. While some players appreciate the graphics, they express frustration over the game's unfinished feel and the prevalence of bugs, suggesting that significant improvements are needed for a smoother experience.

- “The only enjoyable thing about this game was the 50 cent pack for a DeLorean. Other than that, this game is a laggy, unfinished, DLC-ridden excuse of a 'GTA' style game. Rampant glitches and almost impossible to kill NPCs are plaguing this game, like the drag-and-drop models from Drive Zone. It's an actual lame excuse of a multiplayer focused on nothing but extorting players for $5.99 add-ons.”
