    The game generally receives praise for its impressive, smooth, and realistic graphics, often noted as a strong highlight alongside good gameplay. However, several users point out issues with the menu design, UI scaling, and occasional graphical downgrades or bugs, which detract from the overall visual experience. Overall, while the core graphics are well-received, UI and optimization improvements are needed for a more polished presentation.

    • “Very awesome, been playing for a long time now, and I love the mechanics and the graphics and design look neat too, when I'm bored I just play this for fun, overall pretty amazing game, hope we see more in the future!”
    • “The graphics is so good, runs smoothly, never crashes, no glitches found.”
    • “One of the best cops chasing games with so much beautiful graphics, totally 5 stars.”
    • “All you do is make the UI and graphics even worse, yet you guys even made the physics bad.”
    • “The shadows in this game broke, leading to ugly graphics, and the game seems to be restricted to 30 fps, it didn't use to be, UI also doesn't properly scale with modern phone screens.”
    • “Graphics got downgraded.”

    The game's story mode offers a variety of missions and vehicles with an engaging plot, but many players find the difficulty spikes frustrating and often reliant on pay-to-win mechanics. Mission progression can be hindered by inadequate vehicle performance, excessive ads, and occasional crashes, detracting from overall enjoyment. Users frequently request more missions, cars, and exploration options to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Great plot with addicting and challenging missions.”
    • “After so long of trying, I finally beat Hutch's time in the escort mission.”
    • “Excellent missions and vehicles.”
    • “When you get to the big rig mission, at that point it's just rigged so you can never complete it unless you're lucky.”
    • “I hate that they put so many cars to smash you while you're trying to do a mission, it's like they want you to spend money just to pass certain levels, I cannot get past level 20 because I keep dying.”
    • “Tired of seeing cars hit invisible walls in mid air, tired of grinding missions to get stars, tired of trying to do missions which are impossible with the poor vehicles I have.”
  • monetization

    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    16% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 70% negative mentions

    Monetization in this game heavily relies on frequent, often lengthy video ads after nearly every level, which many players find intrusive and detracting from the experience. In-app purchases are present but are criticized as overpriced and sometimes tied to gameplay progression, pushing players toward spending to avoid ads or difficulty spikes. While some appreciate the game's free-to-play model with minimal pop-up ads and reasonable pricing, overall the aggressive ad presence and monetization strategies significantly impact enjoyment.

    • “I have made some in-app purchases.”
    • “I like the low prices for in-app purchases.”
    • “Absolutely phenomenal that there are no ads!”
    • “Overall the concept and controls is unique but heavily dragged down behind monetization.”
    • “Game has full screen video ads in between every single level and also when quitting to the main menu, extremely annoying; can't they make enough money on in-app purchases?”
    • “This one is terrible unless you are willing to shell out at least £10 on this game then it is useless, and as for ads, don't even get me started on how bad they are, don't download this game.”

Improvements to controls, difficulty balance, and reduction of ads would enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay and graphics are surprisingly good.”

    The game's stability is generally solid, with no intrusive popup ads, but users report occasional text glitches and resolution issues that affect gameplay consistency.

    • “The reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because the text glitches out sometimes and the resolution sometimes gets a bit weird. Hope you guys fix it.”
    • “On level 32, the game glitches constantly.”
    • “There are zero popup ads that come and mess up your game.”
  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
