The game intro video will start and play but when it tries to load the actual game, nothing happens. Quite frustrating actually. I also wish there were more levels like seasonal themed levels, more locations from around the world, more vehicles and weapons to unlock and use. Maybe even a Route 66 level featuring an unlockable bike and sidecar combination that takes the player past various Route 66 landmarks including Las Vegas. ### 3/5 — The old version was better *2026-07-20, version 1.3.5* I have the Original one on my old iPad from 10 years ago, this one’s fine. It adds new mechanics, but it seemed kind of paid to win and it’s more dragged out ### 3/5 — ほとんど文句なく面白い。 だけど… *2026-07-01* コラボ達成の目標の時にゾンビが急に出てこなくなるところがあってコラボが達成直後に途切れてやり直しになることが多い。後パーティクルが必要な目標が多いのにそれを得るためのアイテムの入手方法が少ない ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-06-08, version 1.3.5* I love dead ahead and dead ahead z warfare ### 5/5 — Check out the other game *2026-06-06, version 1.3.5* Both of the dead ahead games are fantastic either with great character design and art style. ### 5/5 — 非常有故事感打游戏 *2026-06-05, version 1.3.5* 也是非常解压，百玩补腻 ### 5/5 — this game is awesome *2026-05-20, version 1.3.5* like the title says it is awesome ### 5/5 — Имба *2026-04-27* Имбище ### 5/5 — Игра топ *2026-04-11* Игра то а ### 2/5 — Имхо *2026-04-11, version 1.3.5* Игра всё еще неплохая. Красивая, атмосферная, основной геймплей все ещё залипателен, НО! реклама, донат, всякие свистоперделки сильно испортили игру. Вообщем поиграть можно, но тех высоких оценок которые были у игры на начале, игра уже не заслуживает. ### 4/5 — Great overall *2026-04-04, version 1.3.5* It’s a great game. I will admit the devs are a bit greedy now, but it’s fine as long as I’m having fun. I’m not spending money though. There is one issue however. The damn accelerator and shoot buttons. Whenever I’m moving, I try to go up or down and suddenly the buttons move to the right and it’s very hard to get it back in the middle of the mini boss. Please fix. ### 4/5 — BrummBrumm *2026-03-31* Ein sehr schön anzusehendes Spiel, das das Rad zwar nicht neu erfindet aber unheimlich viel Spaß macht… Hat absolutes Potenzial ein francise zu werden, wenn es sich nicht hinter all den paywalls verstecken würde -_- Pls!!! Bringt das Spiel auch für Konsole… PLEASE!!!🙏🙏🙏 ### 4/5 — Управление само меняется *2026-03-27* Игра отличная, но у меня почему-то во время игры меняется управление с правша на левша. Помогите!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The truth *2026-08-20, version 1.3.5* I used to LOVE this game. Very fun. But, I eventually forgot about it, and when I recently came back, the new systems became trash. You cannot play the game any more, not to mention it doesn’t take old players and ranks into account. I cannot upgrade my vehicles, I cannot use new features, I cannot use temporary boosts, without paying, which I will never do. ### 1/5 — dead ahead *2026-08-07, version 1.3.5* dick head is better to call ### 1/5 — Greedy *2026-07-20, version 1.3.5* The new shift is an absolute garbage ### 1/5 — Control problems *2026-06-24, version 1.3.5* That dang feature where whenever you press or hold your shoot button or the accelerator button, it would have a random and annoying chance to switch to the right side of your screen. I figured out how to get it back during a ride, but it just decides to not move whenever I wanted it to and lost most of my rides (via crashing into stuff) as I try to either get a high score or complete an objective. Can this feature be removed entirely? It’s a frustrating experience to just suddenly lose because your controls decides to migrate to the other side of your screen. ### 1/5 — Controllers switching from left to right *2026-05-24, version 1.3.5* There is a feature where if you slide you finger along the shoot and gas button they switch to the other side of the screen. This of course is bugged and or super sensitive and end up killing you. This game was fond in my memories but now I’m absolutely utterly devastated and disappointed. Do better. Fix. It. NOW!! ### 1/5 — Game sucks *2026-03-27, version 1.3.5* That’s my review it’s just trash ### 1/5 — Yeeeeeeh… *2026-03-14, version 1.3.5* Good luck getting crowns cause there locked into the leader board for 1st place or p2w it. ### 1/5 — Верните как было *2026-02-06* Пару лет не заходил в игру. Какого было мое удивление, увидев нововведения, какие то перегревы мотора, доп инструменты для улучшения байков и оружия, по моему мнению, эти новшевства испортили игру((очень жалко, еще и прогресс не удалось восстановить🙁 ### 1/5 — Now Pay to Play *2026-01-20, version 1.3.5* This game years ago when it first release challenges were doable upgrades took grinding but could be done and power-ups only costed gold, now micro transactions, premium currency and greed have taken over. I would love to support the artist of this game but this is where all my respect ends. ### 1/5 — つまらなかった *2025-12-20* 自分には合わなかった 移動がモッサリしてて上手く操作出来ずゲームオーバー 即アンスコしました ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-22, version 1.3.5* Iv played it for 4 years and still haven’t gotten bored ### 5/5 — Great Retro Racer *2026-08-22, version 1.3.5* I used to play this game in middle and high school and it’s just as great as I remember. ### 5/5 — Yes it’s cool *2026-08-18, version 1.3.5* I love to like it so bad ### 5/5 — It’s a good game *2026-08-08, version 1.3.5* Well there is this one problem, I had this game around 2022 and none of my progress was saved, achievements and stuff already completed in the game, twins, MP5, then a after some time I redownloaded it, having to start from scratch. I mean this game hits home, and definitely deserves much credit, despite this I think it’s much having to lose everything. ### 5/5 — Classic *2026-08-04, version 1.3.5* A Certified Hood Classic ### 5/5 — Dead ahead *2026-07-29, version 1.3.5* Like the go mobile games ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-07-19, version 1.3.5* This game has captured my attention numerous times over the years. I have played this game on and off for over a decade. It truly is a work of art and encapsulates everything that a mobile game should strive for. Hats off to the developers on creating a truly unrivaled game inside of the mobile community! Thank you. ### 5/5 — DUI *2026-06-17, version 1.3.5* When I can’t drive drunk I do this instead ### 5/5 — Топ *2026-06-11* Топ ### 5/5 — Yes it’s cool *2026-06-10, version 1.3.5* I love to like it so bad --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
