  • Amazing!!!

    Such a great game. I struggle to find a game I can stick too but this is just incredible. Nothing but compliments for this amazing game, I can’t get enough!!
  • AWESOME, also a fun idea for the devs

    The graphics are fantastic, but the MUSIC is AMAZING.
    Great job on that.

    I love this game. Action packed fun, like a racing game and a deck game smashed together in the best possible way.

    I don’t yet understand the other reviewers comments re: difficulty. I did not lose a race (or, really, not come in 1st place) untillate lvl 2, and regularly win races against higer level opponents. The challenges are very difficult, but they are, like.... you know: supposed to be challenging, right? Anyway. Maybe it gets harder later or something, but everything seems fair to me so far.

    As per the bots vs “live players”: The racers with a level next to their name are (supposedly) real players and the bots don’t have a level number. Yes there are bots to fill in races, but I have trouble believing that the company would bother to lie about this. If you ever have raced SkolVranmos, well... that is me and I am as real as you are.

    IDEA FOR DEVELOPERS: This game would be even more fun if there could be a third-person perspective recap of race highlights: spectacular crashes, escapes, wins, etc... pretty please???
    Great work, love this game.

  • New update, same problem

    After a brand new update, the difficulty is way too high and your item balance is pure garbage. Opponents are too overpowered and I can’t win a single race.

    Unlocking stuff is still a big chore and rewards are still bad and take too long to unlock them.

    Either fix these issues or I’m deleting this game.

  • I want to like this, but so heavily flawed.

    The game looks amazing and plays pretty well, but what you soon realize is that it’s so unbalanced that you will never be successful.

    1) the computer cars are always faster than you.
    2) 9 times out of 10 if you use a power up against a computer car it either pushes them farther ahead of you or barely affects them.
    3) when the computer uses a power up against you you almost always drop to 6th place and it affects you way more than the computer cars.
    4) the computer cars use power ups against you that you can’t even unlock yet.
    5) even using the tank that makes you go faster powerup, you still can never catch up to the lead car.
    6) the computer cars know and use lots of hidden shortcuts that are nearly impossible to find unless you actually see them use it.
    7) you can never force a computer car off a cliff or into a wall or anything, but they do it to you all the time.

    It takes forever to unlock even a slight car upgrade and you still are always at a disadvantage.

    I really want to like this game, but I urge whoever is testing it to start over from the beginning with a brand new car and you will see you come in first maybe once out of 100 races. It becomes really unfun.

  • Cloud save is not available? Hard races and too much coins

    Cloud save is needed asap. Multi-device play. Offline play not available. Very hard races. Other players always fully loaded , powerful and fastest, no matter what car. Too many coins to upgrade. Fix these and this game is then great successor.
  • More fighting than racing

    I completed the 1st Beach Buggy racing and really enjoyed it. Hoped this would be more of the same but, with all the extra power ups and ‘weapon’ choices, this game is more like a battle royale than a racing game. All of your time is spent chasing power ups to use against your opponents in an effort to get to the front of the race, only for a lightning bolt to freeze you for several seconds while everyone else speeds past! Too much battle....not enough race. Poorer, in my opinion, than the original. Shame!

  • Completely luck based

    Okay first off the if used for few races was starting out well. But as I played the main game there was a problem nine times out of 10 my race I just felt like he was going nowhere. There is no strategy to this game there is no drift boost or anything. Also other players you race against have pick ups that you may not have unlock yet making them more unfair to race against since they go on more Arsenal of weapons to use. This game really is a paid win game there is no other way you can get different cars unless you spend real money. Same thing goes for getting new pick ups. I do not recommend.

  • another pay to play

    don't get me wrong you can play this game without spending any money, but this game wants you very badly to spend the money. There's countless abilities, vehicles and characters to pick from. The characters can technically be unlocked by defeating them in races and earning a racer card. Collect the required cards for that character and they are now yours. Every so often the chance to race one of these characters appears on the main screen but they really want you to spend the cash to challenge them quicker. To earn a new car you can also do the daily challenges and possibly win one by spinning the prize wheel which also has prizes ranging from unlockable special car colors and decals to coins. Which are only used to power up abilities, and they're so many. In fact what makes this game even more "challenging" is the amount of abilities and their similarities. It's hard to not draw comparisons to MK, but it's like the devs thought if they make repetitive abilities then surely your gear is lacking and maybe if you spend money you can be better. But in actuality to remain in first place is totally up to chance and not any type of driving skill. The game is frustrating, fun, playable without paying but it's just gonna constantly remind you to cough up the dough.

  • What the actual?!

    This wasn’t that bad a game. I was level 2, coming first and second in races, taking my time, letting the crates wait out and quite enjoying the game, maybe a little easy at times, but then I saw the new update... Updated, upgraded some stuff and then I was at level 3, an offer popped up and I thought Its not that bad a game I’ll get the 99p one time offer. Most games would give you 24 hours but no not this game, first warning of what type of game it is, but I happily obliged.
    Then, it was time for my first race at level 3..
    Bam.
    Some driver that level I couldn’t even see in time flys off into the distance and that’s the end of that. I could try for second I though but all the other drivers are level 4 and 5s just slowly driving past me. And this is apparently after a major difficulty haul? Really frustrating.
    Next a race that I can win a new car, ‘if I come first’. Did I chuff, but alas! I can retry for 15 gems... Goes to show that it’s that type of game where you’re enticed to have one more go out of your pocket, and it’s really easy to just say one more go, then another, and the devs know this.
    I’ve noticed as well it’s the same for the drivers, one more go at 15 gems. No wonder the offer was one time as if I’d have waited that 24 hours like most games and have said heck no. So anyway, fun at first, but I’d stay well away from this, it’s pay to win but played so sneakily.

  • Disappointing new addition to the line up

    In this house we have been a long standing fan club of Vector Unit games. We were wondering if there would be a new Beach Buggy update coming as we have enjoyed playing the series for the last decade, until finally BBR2 came out. However, disappointingly, Vector Unit have decided to follow the grand many games companies have now decided to move away from: the unreasonable Fremium trend of forcing kids to spend unreasonable amounts of money on loot boxes. What made the Beach Buggy series great was that they weren’t doing this, and that a one-off purchase to unlock multiplayer mode was enough, but sadly now they have completely stuffed this game full of fremium IAP’s, most of which was stuff that was already in the other Beach Buggy games for free. So far we haven’t found enough new content to replace BBR1 with BBR2, and due to its lack of console port are likely to go back to BBR1 and forget this version, which is a shame.

    I’m very disappointed at Vector Graphics to have taken the stance of manipulating younger players into spending money right as the world news is putting a spotlight on the unethical implementation of fremium content in front of our kids. The one company which long had my respect for ethics has joined the unethical bandwagon just as other companies have sensibly started moving away from it.
