### 3/5 — Оценка игры

*2026-08-27, version 1.16.0*

Пожалуйста сделайте легче задание, новичку очень сложно развиться как то, и чемпионаты очень сложно пройти

### 4/5 — Online

*2026-08-26, version 1.16.0*

Can we get online multiplayer maps like you have for car x drift 2

### 3/5 — Исправьте!!!

*2026-08-25, version 1.16.0*

После обновления не работает

### 2/5 — донатная

*2026-08-25, version 1.16.0*

без доната никуда, потому что сделать тачку около 1000 сил очень даже реально, но тебе не будет хватать коробки, а единственная норм коробка это донатная, ее из кейса.
гонки на преследования нереальные, боты то тупят и ты в них врезаешься, либо они улетают вперед, игра вообще не учитывает твою мощность и состояние резины.
а в целом игра перспективная и интересная, прикольно было бы сделать онлайн-фрирум карту

### 4/5 — Too hard

*2026-08-22, version 1.15.0*

It’s impossible but good if u know what ur doing

### 2/5 — ?

*2026-08-18, version 1.15.0*

have to say it's pretty dumb how i can't restart the start of the game/tutorial without closing the game, updating, logging in, and watching the cutscene every time.  why is there no pause menu like there is in the start of CarX Drift Racing 2 that lets you "try again" if you mess up?  it would be nice to be able to try again without having to completely restart every time!

### 4/5 — Ai is too fast

*2026-08-18, version 1.15.0*

I keep loosing against the ai and I’m about to get my super charger and I’m not happy . And also when the ai finishes I can’t drift because i don’t get any more drift points

### 2/5 — Mid

*2026-08-16, version 1.15.0*

CarX drift racin 2 has better graphics and more simple to use this game is still good

### 3/5 — こだわり抜いたリアルさと、ストレスフルな仕様が共存する一作

*2026-08-15*

**【良かった点】**
まず、グラフィックの美しさと、それに見合わない軽量な容量に驚きました。特に衝突時のパーツ破損などの演出がリアルで、没入感があります。
また、ドリフトゲームとしてのこだわりが凄まじく、セッティング項目や外装カスタムの自由度が非常に高いです。デカールエディターの性能も高く、自分らしさを追求したいカスタム好きには最適の環境だと思います。
コースの多さに加え、自作できるコースエディターや、柔軟なカメラアングル、デバイスに合わせた環境設定など、基本性能は非常に高く評価できます。

**【気になった点・改善要望】**
一方で、長時間プレイすると快適性の面で不満が目立ちます。

待ち時間の長さとサブスクの仕様：
ロードが頻繁に発生する点に加え、カスタムや修理に要する時間が長すぎます。エンジンの載せ替えに1時間、ミッションに1時間など、何かを変えるたびに膨大な時間を失います。
**最悪なのは、サブスクリプションに加入していてもこの待ち時間が解消されない点です。** 
せめてサブスク加入者向けに、この時間制約をなくす（またはさらに大幅に時間短縮する）特権を設けてほしいです。そうでなければ、プレイのモチベーションを維持するのが困難です。

セッティングのハードル
設定項目が非常に詳細なのは良いのですが、プリセットが全くないため、コース変更のたびに調整が必要です。初心者でも楽しめるよう、最低3種類ほどのプリセットを実装するか　もしくはカスタムセッティング項目を増やして欲しいです。

経済バランスと報酬：
報酬が全体的に少なく、特定の偏ったパーツばかりが集まり、しかも小型パーツなどは売却できないため、所持品が整理できません。

ゲームサイクル：
レース前のコース練習ができない点や、短時間の走行で修理が必要になり、修理完了まで車が使えない仕様が不便です。車を複数台所有していないと、プレイ時間が制限されてしまいます。

細かな不備：
コースの影が濃すぎて視認性が悪いため、影の設定を変更できるようにしてほしいです。また、一部車体でマフラーが装着できず、リアバンパーに穴が開いたままになるなど、不自然な仕様が見受けられます。

コンテンツ量：
車種やエアロパーツのバリエーションは、まだ拡張の余地があると感じます。

**【総評】**
ポテンシャルは非常に高く、こだわりを感じる素晴らしいゲームですが、システム面の不便さがその魅力を打ち消してしまっている印象です。

今後、車体全体のスキン機能や、F1・スーパーカー（フェラーリ、ランボ等）、さらには映画に登場するような特殊車両の実装なども期待しています。アップデートによる改善を心待ちにしています。

### 5/5 — .

*2026-08-15, version 1.15.0*

Really good but damage and all the bad stuff is worse than Carx drift racing 2

### 5/5 — New car and new engine sounds

*2026-08-14, version 1.15.0*

If you are reading this can you please add some new engine sounds the other ones are just getting kind of boring and can you please add the Mazda Miata please thank you

### 5/5 — Costs

*2026-08-12, version 1.15.0*

Great game although it’s a bit frustrating to buy a new car because of the ridiculous prices but over all it’s a great game, I know it’s trying to be realistic and all but a S13 for 200,000$??? Come on

### 2/5 — ゴミ開発者

*2026-08-12*

ずっと楽しんでプレイしてたけど最近のイベントはセダンの魅力ない車種ばかりだしアップデートの度に報酬のホイールや車、エアロがショボくなってる
金だせば買える純正エアロばかり貰えるし車はレベルl、llの使えないし売値も安いゴミ車ばかり。ホイールはデザインの悪いダサいゴミホイールばかり増えてくばかりでちっともいい報酬が貰えない

ライバル車のボディが地面に設置するほど車高が下がるバグまで発生してるし改悪アップデートやめろクソゴミ開発者
全く面白くない
課金しないと車やエアロの報酬もらえないんだからもっといい報酬出せやコラ
FCやNSX、S2000とか日本のスポーツカー沢山あるんだからもっとマシなイベントやれやゴミ開発者

### 2/5 — Jogo fechando toda hora

*2026-08-09*

No iPhone 13 é 15 pro Max

### 5/5 — good

*2026-08-09, version 1.15.0*

好玩

### 5/5 — Unheard of mobile game quality

*2026-08-07, version 1.15.0*

Insanely detailed and well programmed game for a mobile game. 
Car customisation and likeness to real life car brands is also cool. 
Keep up the good work.

### 1/5 — Gambling.

*2026-08-18, version 1.15.0*

Whenever you want to upgrade any part of your car, you basically have to gamble. I don't want to more or less HAVE to pay money to get guaranteed parts for my vehicle. Getting a car is another thing, as the vehicles are 100k+ credits or 150 gold. I like playing these sorts of games, but I don't have the time or patience to get on, run a 30 minute session to make money, then get off. The costs are prohibitive, you gamble for parts, and I really want to enjoy the game but it's downright impossible when instead of putting a price tag on the game itself, they just put a price tag on every aspect of the game. I doubt the devs will even remedy the god awful gameplay loop they've made.

### 1/5 — Problematic

*2026-08-15, version 1.15.0*

I can’t access the the free roam portion… 
And the game keeps crashing and it’s annoying

### 1/5 — Сырое

*2026-08-14, version 1.15.0*

Оптимизация ужасна, а в самой игре откровенно говоря нечего делать. Покатал пару треков, прошел испытания иии? Дальше только гринд парных заездов с БОТами для получения запчастей либо испытания. А что бы избежать гринда- купи, а что бы больше получать- купи, а что бы меньше времени на ремонт уходило-купи. Ну пж купи купи купи..
Что бы что? Что бы стать еще мощнее среди ботов? В игре нету онлайн режима соревнований или фрирайда, хотя в карх2 почему то есть :)

### 1/5 — No where near as good as the past 2 games

*2026-08-08, version 1.15.0*

This game sucks compared to the original and the second game. Removed the fun from the game and made it soo much worse. Now it’s all about zones and the second you miss one, you are penalised by a bunch of points, it’s extremely hard to progress through the campaigns of the game to help me learn “skills” but all this game brings is frustration. Do not recommend if you’re trying to play anything remotely close to the past 2 games. The developers have removed what made the other games fun to play and focused on the formula drift style, which isn’t what Drift X is about, I am really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Not even a drift game

*2026-08-04, version 1.15.0*

What ever happened to actually needing to drift like carx2. In this so far it’s been “hit 12 checkpoints” and “finish in under 20 seconds” etc… there’s no drift points or anything this my aswell be carx street

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2026-07-20, version 1.14.0*

It’s impossible to move forward in the game without paying real money for loot boxes for upgrades.

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2026-07-15, version 1.14.0*

This game is the most pay to play game I’ve ever played. The campaign is repetitive, only giving low tier parts or visual parts. Another thing is the fact that credits are so hard to get. I’ve played for 5 hours and got barely a fraction of a new car. Seriously why make it to where I have to pay real money to buy or upgrade my car. It’s pointless. Do not waste your time on this game.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2026-07-10, version 1.14.0*

Worst car x drift game ever!, at least the last one you could drift with people in free roam and do whatever, in this one it’s almost impossible to drift without the computer kicking you out of the game and the only good races you can do is drift points the rest is almost impossible and your version bots🤣

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time!

*2026-06-26, version 1.13.0*

It’s a horrible game to play ! The margins to win and pass in progress are so unfair and frustrating there is no fast reset. You gotta go through a stupid process every time to start over which makes it even more frustrating. No real Clear way to make money or modify your car or get the mods you need for your car. It’s just luck. And once you beat it, nothing to do. They don’t keep any schedule for updating the bonus cars and parts they just keep changing and changing you get nothing. Save yourself. This is not built by people that love to drift and love cars you can tell.

### 1/5 — Non Optimized

*2026-06-07, version 1.13.0*

ABSOLUTE Minimal setting, not even 5 fps, gracias supercell

### 5/5 — Love this game but hoping for u guys to add multiplayer

### 5/5 — Why I did 5 stars

*2026-08-16, version 1.15.0*

CarX Drift Racing 3 is incredible to practice drifting and I found this game incredible even with the default car. It really made me less bored on road trips. But it make you car sick. . . Get it?

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-16, version 1.15.0*
