Gameplay

This was a spectacular racing game to play on my android phone and was extremely fun. This game takes you on races solo against AI opponents throughout the world. Matches are very short and can get very intense as you play. Each match consists of shifting to the right gears at the right time which can make you win or lose. I wish there were more things added to races to make it more interactive other then shifting the gears at the right time, but it is still very hard to do and it makes it fun as well. This game consists of buying cars and modifying them to your needs in order to beat certain races. There are tons of customization's in this game as well as cars to buy from which I like a lot. All cars are registered and are real which I really like as well. Modifications and other accessories cost a lot of money so repeating races is necessary in order to increase the amount of money you have. In order to get money you can either purchase it from the in app store or get it from missions and other daily bonuses. This does take a lot of grinding and can get pretty annoying after a while. What I don't like is how your gas tank for your car can actually be used up while playing. Once it runs out you will either have to pay cash to speed up the refuel wait or wait ten minutes in game for you to play again. Another thing I would like to add is how the developers sort of force you to make in app purchases in order to progress throughout the game at certain points. The sounds and graphics throughout this game make it really nice and fun to play. Overall this game is pretty good and is worth it for people to check out and play on their free time.

Graphics

The graphics in this game are great. This game is viewed from a bystander/side view while racing which looks really cool. This 3d game looks great on all phones and nothing about the models look blocky or low quality at all. All vehicles are unique and look stunning when viewing them and racing with them. There are large amounts of detail in every vehicle, modification, and races. The scenery are different for each stage which I also like as well. The games way of presenting vehicles and races looks sleek. Reflections bouncing off of cars and shadows from other objects looks very realistic and makes the game look stunning. There are tons of effects that are used throughout the game that make it visually appealing. Overall the professional look of the game makes it great to play.

Controls

The controls in this game are very tedious at times, but are pretty simple to understand. In the beginning of matches you have to rev your engine and try to get the circle on the right side of your steering wheel to stay green. If you are able to keep it green you will have a slight head start from your opponent. You rev your engine by tapping on the gas pedal towards the bottom right of the screen. Once the car is driving you do not have to hold down the gas pedal anymore. Now in order to shift gears you will have to focus on the light appearing next to the steering wheel. Once it turns green you have to shift gears making your car go faster. This can be tough to do and if you do miss click it could possibly make you lose a match. As you get upgrades buttons will appear on the screen for you to push on to use them. Overall the controls are very simple to understand, but can be difficult at times to correctly use at certain points.
