The game's monetization relies heavily on frequent and often intrusive ads, which many players find excessive and disruptive to gameplay, even being placed in obstructive screen areas. While some appreciate that ads are generally brief and non-intrusive, the overwhelming volume of ads detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment. Despite this, a few users support the developers via purchases, but many urge for a reduction in ad frequency to improve the experience.
- “But this one, despite giving me the vibes of the old Colin McRae rally game, is filled with far too many ads that ruin the gameplay. I get you need ads for support etc., but this one has far too many!”
- “The game has 10 stars beyond its greatness, but one stupid problem: the advertising is on top where you have to see where to go. How are you supposed to drive when there's an advertisement on the top of the screen blocking your path? That stupid one star ruins the game because you can't play. I don't get it.”
- “Wasn't able to get past the full-page advertisement they run before the race even starts, as the developers have hidden the close ad button.”
