The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of ads and paywalls that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over forced advertisements appearing frequently, even after purchasing ad-free options, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. The introduction of a subscription model to eliminate ads has further alienated long-time fans, with many stating that the excessive ads have ruined their overall experience.
“I've spent plenty of money on in-game purchases, but now I need a monthly subscription to get rid of ads?”
“While this is going on, the game is almost force-feeding the option to spend 5 bucks a month on a membership to get certain cars, no ads, and a few other things.”
“Plus all the other perks that come with joining like no ads, free car, dyno runs, and some upgrades for the car they give you.”
“There's so many paywalls and ads everywhere!!”
“The game is also pay to win or just watch ads to get free money, there's no skill in the game anymore.”
“I used to love this game, but ads have ruined it.”

The graphics of the game receive a mixed but generally positive reception, with many users praising their realism and detail, often comparing them favorably to console games. However, some players report performance issues, such as lag and crashes, particularly after updates, indicating that optimization could be improved. Overall, while the graphics are considered a strong point, there is a consensus that further enhancements and stability are needed.
“This is the best drag racing game out there. The graphics, the inputs, they are all on point; it's a very good game.”
“The graphics are fantastic as well as the effects.”
“Superb graphics, highly detailed and realistic tuning options.”
“It's optimized poorly and horribly even with graphics all the way down!”
“I've been using the same phone, yet until version 1.8 I had a smooth experience with the graphics maxed out, now using the lowest graphics does not affect the performance and the game is at a constant state of lag and stutter, especially in races.”
“I gave it a 4 star because they could improve some things, such as graphics. Graphics are a huge part of playing a simulator, and when a game lacks that, it's not the most enjoyable sometimes.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, realistic car setups, and enjoyable customization options, making it a standout in the drag racing genre. However, players have noted issues such as bugs, crashes, and a desire for more diverse vehicle options and body customization. Overall, while the game offers a solid experience, there is room for improvement in terms of content and stability.
“This is the perfect game if you're looking for smooth gameplay, good graphics, and nice cars.”
“The base tuning and upgrade mechanics this game has are on par with BeamNG and Forza games for PC and console.”
“I really like this game, but there are some bugs and there's not much to the gameplay.”
“This game is great, but it can be better if you can swap engines. The body kits aren't limited to drag only, the Supra MK4 needs to be in the right category. Also, the game keeps crashing after 20-25 minutes of gameplay even if my settings are at the very lowest. I would give it 5 stars if they fix the crashing issues.”
“Very realistic gameplay and car setup.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of bugs, glitches, and freezing issues that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience lag during races, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. While some appreciate the game's potential, the overwhelming consensus is that stability issues need urgent attention from the developers.
“This game is so good; the car models are on point. I have found no glitches (not talking about money glitches; I don't do that). It has all the great aspects of the original No Limit and made it better.”
“The game is really buggy and I lose half the races because of lag and glitching.”
“The game freezes after every race. I have always supported titles, but not forced ones. Their focus is all about memberships, but memberships with bugs?”
“When I open the app, the first few seconds of it are fine, but then the screen freezes.”

The music aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily for its lack of support for background music, which prevents players from listening to their own music while playing. Users have expressed frustration over the game overriding their music apps and the inability to adjust in-game audio settings, such as turning off or lowering vehicle sounds. Overall, while the game's music itself is not heavily criticized, the restrictions on audio management detract from the overall experience for many players.
“It's an amazing game and I play it all the time, but I like to listen to music while playing.”
“I love this game; it's a lot like Offroad Outlaws but with drag racing. I really wish there was a bigger 'drag strip' in the free roam mode, and I like to listen to music when I play mobile games.”
“Only problem I had with it is that when I tried to play the game and also listen to music on Spotify, the music stopped and the notification allowing me to resume the music went away, and I can't listen to music while playing the game.”
“This game is amazing; however, it doesn't support music in the background. You cannot play music without the game force closing any music in the background.”
“There's no option to turn motor sounds off, which always overpowers my music, so if possible, please add a section in settings for all audio.”

Players express a strong desire for the inclusion of "funny cars" and other unique vehicle classes in the game, highlighting that such additions would enhance the fun and variety of the gameplay. The humor aspect is tied to the playful nature of these vehicles, with many users eagerly requesting updates that would introduce more comedic and entertaining car types to the dealership. Overall, the community finds the game enjoyable but believes that adding these humorous elements would significantly improve the experience.
“I think they should add funny cars, jet cars, and jet trucks to make it more realistic and for a bigger variety of vehicles.”
“It's the most amazing game I've ever played, but for the next update, we should get funny cars and pro stock cars that would be absolutely awesome. Thank you!”
“Without a doubt addictive if you've ever lived this lifestyle or dabbled in it... the game needs to be finished for Christ's sake... so many cars to add to the collection... the fire from exhaust needs tweaking but burnouts are on point!”

Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, particularly following recent updates that have led to performance issues such as lag and stuttering, even on lower graphics settings. While players appreciate the depth of customization and tuning options, many express frustration over the game's inconsistent performance and unrealistic AI challenges, which detract from the overall experience. Despite its engaging gameplay and impressive graphics, the optimization problems have left a negative impact on user satisfaction.
“This is the best mobile drag racing game I've ever played. It has many cars to choose from, numerous body parts for your car, and various maps to race on. The advanced tuning allows you to optimize your car's performance to its peak with your own style!”
“Coolest and most realistic drag racing game out there, by far the best game performance, with great physics and graphics.”
“Graphics are on the level, the performance is sublime, the physics are as good as a lot of PC/console games, and the environment is immersive and engaging.”
“It's optimized poorly and horribly even with graphics all the way down!”
“The biggest issue for me, however, is that the game is not optimized on the new Android update.”
“While I love the game and have been playing for years, these latest updates have somehow destroyed the performance on my phone.”

Players express a desire for a more developed story mode or career mode in the game, highlighting the potential for a compelling backstory related to street racing. While the game is praised for its graphics and gameplay, many users feel that additional narrative elements and character-driven content, similar to other racing titles, would enhance the overall experience. Overall, the community is enthusiastic about the game but sees room for improvement in its storytelling aspects.
“Best drag game since PS2. It would be cool to see it on Xbox or PS5 with a nice campaign mode and a backstory of street racing.”
“It would be great if you added some story mode or career mode.”
“Please add more storylines like Street Outlaws, and you will have a top game.”
“No side race missions to gain money, and we cannot win the race ever, except if you pay for money/gold.”
“I love the game physics and all are pretty spot on, but I think you should be able to run any concept that you want in story mode. I shouldn't have to put a big block in my car if I want a small block; I'd rather have a short stroke. Other than that, I'd give 5 stars.”
“Please add a top ten list like Door Slammers 2 and more storylines like Street Outlaws; then you will have a top game.”

“A nice racing game, but it takes a long time to build up your garage. Once you want to get a Division X car, the grinding feels like too much work.”
“The grinding in this game is excessive and can become tedious after a while.”
“While the graphics are beautiful, the amount of grinding required to progress can be frustrating.”
