Overall, the gameplay is praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and impressive graphics, making it enjoyable for many players. However, some users report issues with repetitive gameplay, lost progress, and a desire for more content, such as additional cars and customization options. While the gameplay is generally well-received, there are calls for improvements to enhance the overall experience.
“Great graphics, awesome gameplay, keeps you occupied for a long time!”
“The game is awesome and great graphics and gameplay.”
“Superb gameplay, good graphics.”
“But, like some others, all of my gameplay has disappeared (I was at level 44 with 6 cars) and I have sent 2 messages to the devs with no response.”
“It sucks, I really liked this one too, and then I lost all cash and cars. It blows; I am uninstalling this. I can find a lot of games good, if not better than this, as crappy as some of them may look, that have the same gameplay and don't lose saved games.”
“Cool game but needs an improvement on the gameplay.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the optional nature of ads that can provide in-game benefits, while others criticize the frequency of ads and the high cost of in-app purchases. Some users feel that the game leans towards being a cash grab, particularly with expensive purchases and issues related to lost progress and account transfers. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the monetization strategy has led to frustration among players regarding ads and pricing.
“No ads while the game loads, no ads between rounds, no ads required to unlock content.”
“Game is amazing... no bugs, no ads whatsoever, all round awesome and very time consuming.”
“Best car game I've ever found on my phone; I play all the time, best part: no ads.”
“Having to wait until level 50 or pay in order to tune your setup is too much and an obvious cash grab.”
“Definitely a cash grab.”
“Was good now just full of ads, was 5 stars down to 2 stars; also $10 a car, what a rip-off, also very glitchy when it never used to be.”

The game's stability has been a significant issue for many users, with frequent freezing and crashing reported, particularly after updates. Players have expressed frustration over losing progress and purchased items due to these glitches, making the game nearly unplayable for some. While there are positive remarks about the game's potential and improvements, the ongoing stability problems overshadow the overall experience.
“Perfect game, no glitches, no troubles.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes or bugs.”
“I haven't experienced any stability issues; everything works as it should.”
“This game used to work perfectly and now it constantly freezes upon entering the garage. I have no Facebook, therefore no way of communicating with League of Monkeys to get the problem sorted. This is the second phone I've had where I've had to start again from scratch and redownload all the elite cars at $10 each, only to lose the lot. I have no way of resolving the issue because it freezes before I can report the bug, so I'll be deleting the game.”
“Every time I even try opening the menu, it crashes or freezes. When I get to doing an event, the screen freezes when the timer runs out every time, and I never get rewarded.”
“This is a really awesome game until it freezes and erases all your progress, making you start from level 1. This has happened to me 2 or 3 times now.”

Overall, players report that the game runs smoothly, especially at lower levels, but experience crashes and performance issues after significant upgrades or reaching higher levels. There are calls for better optimization for low-end devices, as well as requests for more performance customization options and additional content to enhance gameplay.
“It's a really good game... I love the effort put into the car detailing and stuff, but I was wondering if drag races could be added to the game for players above level 50 (multiplayer). I mean, we can't let all the rev limiter and sick engine sounds and performance go to waste. I'd really love to see that happen in the next update. Thank you.”
“Need more optimization for low-end devices.”
“Soo cool awesome drifting performance.”
“Need more optimization for low end.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of narrative depth, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging storyline to complement the gameplay. Many users feel that the repetitive missions and lengthy leveling process detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration and potential disengagement. While the game is considered fun and well-designed, the absence of a compelling story and excessive ads are significant drawbacks.
“Good physics and a great game, but it just needs a storyline of some sort. Leveling up your driver level takes longer than expected, which may lead to players losing interest. A compelling storyline or more driver RP could keep players engaged. It's not a bad game; it's really good, but the grind is a bit too long.”
“I wish it had some more challenges, drift tracks, or some type of story or narrative to make the game more interesting.”
“However, I wish it had some more challenges, drift tracks, or some type of story or narrative to make the game more interesting.”
“Stupid, only had to do the same mission over and over.”
“Bad game, no mission, only drift.”

“🎧 Listening to music while playing.”
“I kinda like the song of the black car; everything is black in that car.”

“Very interesting game to play, but the music is obnoxiously repetitive and detracts from the overall experience.”
“I kinda like the song of the black car, but everything else in the game feels lacking.”
