Pretty dang good game
I used to play this game A LOT. But after I beat it, there wasn’t much to do anymore. Sure the daily doom was there, but that’s not much. Also, this game could have a REALLY good story put in it with little work. What’s the players backstory? Why the heck did the player come to race on a track with explosions EVERYWHERE?! All good questions. Sadly though, this game may have already been abandoned. No updates for two years. I’d love to see this game make a comeback. We need a real story and more to do after you beat the game. All said, this is a incredible mobile game and I hope to hear more from Electric Square.
Thanks for reading.

Split Second Legacy Lives
You seen the trailer and wondering, “Is this them. Is this the Split Second team?” I personally think that answer is obvious and glad to see them continue a legacy that was almost permanently ended due to corporate obsession over profit. Gamers loved Split Second and was looking forward to the next season that never happened. I applaud the effort of the developers for making this successor as much like Split Second as possible and also establish a refreshed identity of it’s own. What this game is missing in familiar Split Second features, is made up in the form of new features that would have made it’s predecessor even better and was likely coming in the canceled second season or sequel. Keep up the good work developers. Great to have you back.

Fun Game!!!
I downloaded this game to just pass the time and wanted something different. Man, I am really enjoying this game been playing it with the Backbone and the controls are smooth. It’s like Death Race so I love the concept of the game.
Great Arcade racing game
Well designed racing fury BLAST! Give it a try, reminds me a little of a game called Dangerous Driving. This game has more action to keep you bust becoming the best Demolition driver. Thanks.
One of the best games on the App Store.
Within 10 minutes of downloading this game, I was instantly obsessed. It’s clearly heavily inspired by an older Xbox 360 racing game called Split Second, which I always thought was super underrated. It takes the ideas from that game, and puts them in a more cartoony atmosphere. The vehicle handling may take some time to get used to, and I do wish there were more cars, but other than these minor criticisms, this game is awesome, and definitely highly recommended.

Freezes frequently
Freezes commonly making me have to quit and restart it. And i was playing it on ipad, but its easier with a controller on mac. But the cloud saving does not work at all and i can play it on any other device with my progress. When those thing arent problems, its really fun.
Lots of fun but no cloud saves?
Is there any way to sync your progress between iPad and Mac for example? There are no ways to connect support at the developer website.
Insane arcade racer goodness! But no online MP?
This is a fantastic game on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, with all the eye candy, explosions, and drifting goodness you could ever want in an over the top racer that never slows down and never takes itself too seriously. HOWEVER, what’s up with the online quick play MP feature that NEVER loads other players? It’s hard to believe a game this fun doesn’t have anyone else on the entire planet ready to jump into a room and race!

Reminds me of 2010.... If you know what i mean
This game is a destructive. Difficult. Exillorating racing game like Split/Second. And i think that it is amazing personally. Its split/second in your pocket!
Great game!!!
I love this game! Very intense and addictive. Only complaint is I beat all levels too quickly. Hope a update with new levels would be available.
Great but could be better
First, this game is a ton of fun. In my opinion these are a few things that could make this better.
1. Obviously more tracks, episodes and cars.
2. You could extend gameplay even more if the tracks were regular, mirrored and reversed.
3. Multiplayer mode is not good. I’ve tried many times and I’ve only had one race.
4. I would also like to do more than two laps. Maybe not all the races but some of them at least.
5. A tournament mode would be cool. 5-10 races and you accumulate points based on where you finish, how much you drift and how many opponents you strike.

This is a solid game I’m already addicted
I have been playing for only a few days but so far I like the graphics and the controls are easy to learn but the game is still plenty challenging we will see .So far so good
Fun but freezes
This game is really fun. I like the driving experience and game play. Only real issue is that it freezes often, forcing me to Force Quit and start the game again. This happens often. The good news is that is saves the game play, so I haven't lost any progress. It only freezes betwee races.
Fun game but far too easy
I was able to complete the entire game in under a week. There is no replay value to this game since once you beat it you are done. Doing the same tracks over and over and over again does not make me want to continue to play this game.
Definitely enjoying it- BUT
I am really enjoying this game! So far I have only played through the "episodes" but I like the game play and the characters are neat. Dr. Boom reminds me of Joker. :) I do have a few issues though - I think the game could be better if the they created more tracks - certainly more tracks are needed. Also, the game crashes occasionally, which I have not experienced with any other Apple Arcade games... Here's to hoping there are some updates - and some new tracks added in the future! (If not, I still get quite a kick outta the game)

Great, but needs more variety in terms of music.
I love this game, but one thing bugs me. When you play a race, the same opening sound effect plays. Not only that, but in a race, a very short loop plays in the background. It’s kind of repetitive.
P.S. Could you add internal combustion engine-powered cars?

Repetitive, and slightly less than mediocre.
Just finally completed the game and unfortunately 2 stars is all I can give it.
Detonation Racing has some cool mechanics, the drift being one of them, and of course the detonation. The issue is the detonation mechanic ends up getting *so* repetitive, and once you see them happen a few times you can pretty much avoid all of them.
The challenges in the missions are also not great… they’ll have you drift for 250m on maps where you have to sabotage yourself and drift against walls to hit the milestones. I guess this is done so you HAVE to replay missions In order to get all 3 stars, but it feels really not great.
The game is also incredibly buggy. Slow motion glitches, losing control until you close the app, and being launched by nothing mid race happened to me quite a few times.
For being free, it’s a fine toilet game. Once you beat it though I wouldn’t expect any replay value, it gets very tedious very quickly.

Almost perfect
I really enjoy the game and plowed through the story mode quick. I just have a couple gripes…
- why does the pack of other drivers burn off at the start of every race and your own car just putters along? I thought it was just part of getting the upgrades but it’s the same story now with full tens across the garage.
-it’s frustrating when you beat a explosion and literally see your car driving away fine but the game still decides you wrecked. I did not wreck…I dodged the wreck. It’s usually when pushing through one of the closing obstacles.
-I never see anyone to play in the online version.

Very good game, some big issues though
I really like playing this game, it’s a cool idea and a good game in general, but in of my biggest issues with the game is the Bot racers, while playing the story it’s nearly impossible for me to get all three stars on some older and current races, due to me getting constantly blow up, rammed into a wall, or getting flung out of the map by some unknown reason, and it’s quite frustrating, really wish this stuff could get fixed but it most likely won’t

Wow
Now this is racing for non-racing gamers. None of that forcing irl physics on you because where’s the fun in that. When you drift around a corner the controller support is intuitive not a handicap that requires learning. This company did their homework with controller support.
