The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising them as "good" or "excellent," particularly highlighting the detailed bike models and realistic visuals. However, numerous users express disappointment with outdated graphics, low frame rates, and a lack of customization options, suggesting that improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience.

“This game is amazing; its graphics are excellent and the acceleration and braking are good. Love this game!”
“Mediocre graphics, low frame rates really are the biggest flaw in this game for me. Framerate drops low and the game slows down, which is a huge deal with reaction-based gaming.”
“The graphics are terrible.”
“This game graphics are like worms of drainage; even games from the 1900s are better than this. The developer should look after it.”

The gameplay of the game is generally well-received for its addictive mechanics and satisfying timing-based challenges, appealing particularly to MotoGP fans. However, many players express a desire for more control over their bikes, as the current system relies heavily on button timing rather than steering, which some find limiting and frustrating. Additionally, issues such as net lag, bugs, and high upgrade costs detract from the overall experience, suggesting that while the core gameplay is enjoyable, there is significant room for improvement in terms of control options and technical performance.
“For some reason, the mechanics of this game are so addictive; hitting it at the perfect timing is just so satisfying.”
“The best part is the gameplay challenges you to win; you have to be at your utmost best to finish in the top 3, let alone win the race.”
“Great physics, great gameplay; just a super fun game to play... a little challenging but fun nonetheless!”
“The gameplay is broken; I press the buttons according to the timing, but it is still considered too early or too late.”
“The mechanics were clunky and buggy, like the frickin 2000s.”
“The thing that matters most is the gameplay, and unfortunately, it's ridiculously bad in this game.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Players report that rewards often require watching multiple ads, and microtransactions are necessary for meaningful upgrades, leading to perceptions of the game as a "cash grab." While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overwhelming presence of advertisements has negatively impacted the overall experience for many.
“Overall great gameplay, no ads unless you want, easy to make back your money when you race and be able to buy bikes/players.”
“I give it 5 stars because there are no ads in this game.”
“Nice game and graphics, no ads at all unless you want money to fix or buy a bike.”
“The glaringly blatant cash grabs are everywhere, with one frequent instance going as far as rewards being given but only reaped after multiple ads have been watched. This is deplorable.”
“My experience is hours of grinding and watching advertisements only to find I can't upgrade my bike to something competitive without microtransactions.”
“Full of ads, literally will bore you to death.”

“Needs more of a story to draw you into the game.”

Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics, noting that significant time investment yields minimal rewards, often requiring microtransactions to progress. Many feel that the game is overly reliant on ads and purchases for upgrades, leading to a pay-to-win environment that diminishes enjoyment despite initial positive impressions. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as tedious and unrewarding, with players struggling to earn necessary resources like diamonds.
“My experience is hours of grinding and watching advertisements only to find I can't upgrade my bike to something competitive without microtransactions.”
“No matter how many combos you get and no matter how many perfect timings you achieve, you will still not win unless you upgrade your bike, which means seeing a plethora of ads or grinding for hours for coins.”
“Game play-wise, I'd give it 4 stars, but I'm giving it a 1 star because it's completely pay-to-win at a certain point. Grinding races will eventually get you nowhere, which is disappointing because I actually thought the game wasn't that bad. You give the players no way of earning diamonds except for buying them. This game feels forever old now, and you haven't changed anything to make it possible to keep upgrading the bike without spending money.”

The optimization of the game is inconsistent; while it runs smoothly on capable devices, players with lower-performing phones may experience significant issues. Many users feel that the game's AI and racing mechanics can lead to frustrating outcomes that feel disconnected from player skill, impacting the overall enjoyment.
“It runs smoothly and you get the feel of being in MotoGP.”
“Many bikes like KTM, Aprilia, and Yamaha have good performance, so you play the game and enjoy it.”
“If your phone has poor performance, and you want to pass the time, still don't play this.”
“It's an awful feeling when you hit a braking zone perfectly and still get passed by another bike for no reason. For some reason, your rider will always choose the worst possible line to take in a corner when racing with others. You win or lose based on the algorithm's whims, not your performance.”

However, some users express frustration with the constant online requirement and excessive advertising, which detracts from the overall experience.

“It requires constant online connectivity and is so full of advertising that it's not funny.”
“The jokes fall flat and feel forced, lacking any real wit or charm.”
“The humor is stale and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
