The game's monetization heavily relies on frequent and often intrusive ads, including banner ads covering important UI elements and mandatory video ads at startup, which frustrate many players. In-app purchases are prevalent and sometimes feel forced, with some mechanics added primarily to encourage spending, detracting from the gameplay experience. While some users appreciate that purchases are optional and progression is possible without them, the overall sentiment is that aggressive ads and microtransactions diminish the game's enjoyment.
- “Fun game with lots of things to do - in-app purchases are not necessary to progress, which is great.”
- “Microtransactions are optional and don't affect the game much.”
- “Amazing game, well-designed and doesn't bother you for in-game purchases unless you want to.”
- “As someone who finished the first Grand Prix Story game, they completely took out the fun by adding severe wait times and forcing in-app purchases for the most mundane things - this is a paid game, mind you.”
- “Kairosoft has lost their way with ads, pay to win, and even dubious permissions on old game updates.”
- “Ruined a great game by forcing ads and adding microtransactions.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun, addicting, and well-developed mechanics involving training drivers and mechanics, car building, and strategic management. However, many users find it slow-paced with progression hindered by heavy monetization, intrusive ads, and time-gating mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the gameplay retains a light-hearted charm and depth that appeals to fans of Kairosoft's style.
- “Build dozens of cars, train your drivers and mechanics, and become the best racing team in the world!”
- “While the new time-gate mechanisms are annoying and money grabby, this new version of Grand Prix Story adds plenty of new gameplay mechanisms I enjoy and I would recommend it if you liked the first.”
- “Fun and easy to learn with deeper mechanics that let you get further the more you understand.”
- “Kairosoft has been moving in a direction that I don't support though, forced ads, boring gameplay... they have lost who they are in newer titles, so this is likely the newest game I could recommend from them.”
- “The game is alright, but you can't do much or as much as you would like to, due to mostly everything necessary for gameplay needing to be bought with actual money or the in-game equivalent to gems which you don't get much of and everything is ridiculously expensive with these.”
- “Training your drivers takes a whole lot of time, and there's a whole lot of unnecessary dependencies to the gameplay that make everything too slow.”

The story in Grand Prix Story 2 is generally seen as less engaging and lacking compared to the original, with many players preferring the simpler, more straightforward single-player progression of the first game. While the sequel introduces new features and gameplay elements, it is criticized for extensive wait times, ads, and in-app purchases that hinder the narrative flow and overall enjoyment. Fans appreciate the racing team simulation aspect but feel the sequel’s story is overshadowed by grindy mechanics and monetization strategies.
- “Great little story game, a lot of time has gone into this.”
- “A great sequel that massively expands on the original Grand Prix Story.”
- “Great story mode with good upgrade style; tracks get glitchy and physics cause random crashes into barriers or stationary objects.”
- “First Grand Prix Story was much better, only because this version is a free-to-play game which adds a lot of very long timers that severely limit your play time unless you buy a lot of coins.”
- “It's a very unsatisfactory end to Grand Prix Story.”
- “Do not waste your time with this game. It's going to take you years to beat this as a free-to-play player. I downloaded a cracked APK with infinite money and GP, and let me tell you, even with that this game was still grindy as hell. Just don't waste your time; go do something else or play Grand Prix Story 1. At least that was beatable.”

The game's graphics are predominantly praised for their retro, pixel-art style that evokes nostalgia and suits the gameplay well, offering a charming and smooth visual experience. While some users feel the graphics are basic or could use improvements, especially in detail and variety, many appreciate the nostalgic, old-school aesthetic that complements the game's strategic depth and overall design.
- “This game, as a racing simulator, is excellent in both graphics and performance.”
- “It is a very smooth game with awesome graphics and cool gameplay.”
- “Surprisingly, it has strategic depth, and combined with the pixel graphics, makes the game have a certain charm.”
- “Could get a little more for your money especially because of the low quality graphics which could use some improvement.”
- “Enjoyable game, but really boring when you need to wait for fuel or energy; the graphics are still pixelated and could feel outdated.”
- “In 2021, this game needs more upgrades not for the graphics but for the map, cars, and other improvements.”
grinding

The game involves significant grinding, which some players find enjoyable while others see it as tedious and slow, especially for free-to-play users. Progression can feel repetitive and time-consuming, though the charm and fun aspects help balance the grind for many. Overall, grinding is a central but polarizing element that impacts the game's pacing and enjoyment.
- “Do not waste your time with this game. It's going to take you years to beat it as a free-to-play player. Even with unlimited money and in-game currency, the game is still grindy as hell. Just don't waste your time; go do something else or play Grand Prix Story 1, which was at least beatable.”
- “Progression is ridiculously slow, tedious, and not fun.”
- “But if it gets too tedious, too expensive, and too time-consuming, it deprives the enjoyment of the game.”
stability

The game experiences frequent stability issues, including crashes, freezes (especially in versus mode), and bugs that disrupt gameplay. While some users praise its overall quality, many hope for fixes in future updates to address these persistent problems.
- “The VS mode doesn't work and if I stay long or switch to other modes, my game freezes for a very long time until it restarts. I hope this gets fixed in the next update.”
- “Worked fine before, but now on version 2.51 it crashes every time I try to open or just freezes at the launch screen.”
- “There's a bug in VS mode where the opponent doesn't appear and sometimes it freezes when you open that mode.”
