### 2/5 — Unfinished

*2022-09-24*

Unfinished graphics rendering.  Missing textures and 1000s of odd lines in various levels.  
Boring game play.  It’s virtually impossible to lose.  You aren’t racing, you’re just avoiding obstacles.  Most levels are so easy to pass that you literally don’t even need to look at the screen.   

Clearly just a product that was cranked out with no thought or care for the quality of the game.  Just an easy means of pushing ads.

### 4/5 — Just a couple problems and a suggestion

*2021-07-01*

First problem it’s very glitch some times if you hit a ramp when you land your car glitches hard I wouldnt think this was a problem if fences didn’t exist because you just get stuck behind a fence and the forcing to the road makes it so even if you land outside a fence if a car is in the way you can’t get back on the road. Second problem is the ai cars the ai cars get stuck everywhere which is so annoying and if your going fast like 50 or 60 mph you die on contact unless you body but they are blocking narrow paths so you die anyways. Ok now the suggestion so I would think this game would be way better if you had a endless mode and if there is already then make it accessible from the beginning other than that great game

### 4/5 — Good but one thing is wrong

*2021-03-27, version 1.2*

When I played a while back, there was one thing wrong. Sometimes when i drove, the plants stretched and glitched.

### 3/5 — Good Game But.......

*2020-08-28, version 1.2*

I completed this game and unlocked loads of cars, had to restore my phone and yet when I downloaded again even though was logged into GameCentre I lost all my cars and was expected to start again. That’s rubbish!! So basically if you have to restore phone through no fault of your own you’ll lose everything, that’s very poor and needs addressing!

### 5/5 — God

*2020-08-19, version 1.2*

I love this game please update it please add more cars and everything I love it so much you should get it it’s God

### 5/5 — Не гонка, но пойдёт

*2020-02-27*

Это, конечно, не гонка, это раннер, но это самый атмосферный раннер со времён Марио, как по мне. Мне очень понравилось

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2020-01-22*

Мне понравилась эта игра...есть ,,раритетные’’ машины , ОТЛИЧНАЯ физика , весёлые уровни , и КРАСИВАЯ ГРАФИКА. Я был бы очень рад если бы вы добавили ЕЩЁ НЕМНОГО ТРАНСПОРТЫХ СРЕДСТВ ( Например Stock Car 80’s , Lowriber cars , Hot Rod...Так же я думаю , что хорошей идеей стала бы функция которая позволяла игроку САМОМУ СОСТАВЛЯТЬ УРОВЕНЬ из предложенных ему ,,елементов’’ , менять цвет своей машины , и отправляться в увлекательное путешествие. А добавив ONLINE режим стало бы ЕЩЁ ВЕСЕЛЕЕ !!! P.S не у всех дорожных элементов есть ,,коллизия’’ Я надеюсь вы прочитаете мой отзыв И СДЕЛАЕТЕ ЭТУ ИГРУ ЕЩЁ ЛУЧШЕ !!!))

### 2/5 — Could be good, let down by gameplay

*2019-08-16, version 1.2*

This game could be really great, I love the idea of it and it all looks really nice.

It’s lead down hugely by the steering of the cars, it is virtually unplayable it is so bad. I keep coming back to give it another chance but get left more frustrated each time I play.

### 4/5 — 良き

*2019-06-12, version 1.2*

クリアした後ムービーとか欲しいな

### 3/5 — Fix it please

*2019-05-28*

Firstly, this game is cool ! Very fun to play , runs good and looks ok , however it is very broken !
It feels like the devs gave up on it halfway through making it which is a shame because it could have been easily one of the best casual racing games on the app store. So , devs please fix it cuz it’s full of bugs and glitches and the gameplay still needs some work.

### 4/5 — Fun...

*2019-03-21, version 1.2*

This game is really fun but there are a lot of glitches, but that actually makes the game funny but when your at one of the harder levels that take longer to complete these glitches can get really annoying so can you please fix it.   Thank you very much 🙏🏾

### 3/5 — Great Race

*2019-03-12*

Graphics are colorful and cute; gameplay is challenging and fun guiding the car with one finger...
of course that was up until the ads kicked in (30 seconds each ad and there are lots of them!). Removed 2 stars for that.  Haven’t decided whether I want to pay $8.99 to disable ads, as that’s quite expensive.  Love the cuteness and gameplay though!

### 5/5 — Simple, fun, entertaining

*2019-02-24, version 1.2*

This game is easy to learn and fun to play. I would totally suggest it to anyone.

### 4/5 — Plz

*2019-02-04, version 1.2*

Plz add a cheeper in app purchase to remove adds or create a premium version with no adds, I prefer to unlock the cars by playing .

### 5/5 — Multipler

*2019-01-28*

Мультиплеер , multipler

### 5/5 — Good Game, some improvements

*2019-01-12*

I like the game, but there are some things I wish would change. When I am driving along, the game feels less like a nostalgic cruise and more like some post-apocalyptic maneuvering game, what with all the scattered detritus and vehicles I have to avoid. Just lessen some of the obstacles on the road, they kind of ruin the game’s feel. Also, I feel like once you are on the final stretch of road, heading towards the Santa Monica Pier, the road here should be lined with homes and buildings, as in reality this is a very urbanized area. Also, it would be interesting to see intersections placed in the game. Not ones you can drive down, but ones that are just there for scenery. Please consider my requests!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Those are some very valid ideas you've written. Will take into consideration. :)

### 1/5 — This games crap

*2019-12-30, version 1.2*

This games crap every time I go to click on the app it immediately kicks me off the games crap 0 stars don’t recommend

### 1/5 — Lost all my cars in the recent update

*2019-01-15, version 1.2*

Had a bunch of cars unlocked and bought that are now fine with the latest update and changer in costs. UNACCEPTABLE

### 1/5 — Cars

*2019-01-10, version 1.2*

I used to love this game a ton but with the new update they took away all the cars I earned. :(

### 1/5 — Update ruined it

*2019-01-09, version 1.2*

I played this game in my spare time and really enjoyed the car collecting but im almost done with the game and had all the cars already. AFTER THE UPDATE, I now have no cars unlocked with two levels left in the game.. 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️👋🏻 im not gonna re-unlocked them now especially when i used to be able to get them but just watching a video. You lost a download

### 1/5 — Fun but questionable legality

*2018-12-13, version 1.1*

Game is straightforward, not greedy, and pretty fun until the end (near CA and AZ). I have to give it 1 star though, due to how the other car AI works you’re constantly put in situations where you’re guaranteed to crash and lose. Idk if it’s illegal to make an unwinnable game but it should be.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2018-11-24, version 1.0*

At the beginning it was a good game but after a time you can’t get new cars and resume game if there aren’t ADS available to you!! There should be an option to bypass this!

### 1/5 — This was boring and sucked

*2018-11-20, version 1.0*

The game is so long with no actual motive and each level gets longer and longer as you travel and there's nothing to do besides watch ads for cars. And when you finish it there's no prize. It just makes you start over again

### 1/5 — Truffé de bugs

*2018-11-13, version 1.0*

Ce jeu est completement rempli de bugs en tous genres pourrissant totalement le jeu. Le gameplay n’etant pas plus épanouissant que de ralier une voiture d’un point A à un point B sans faire la course avec d’autres voitures, juste rouler, je doute du réel intérêt d’investir du temps pour corriger ces bugs.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and boring

*2018-11-13, version 1.0*

Game is super glitchy like sometimes you would go up a ramp and explode even if your car had no problems and all it is is you driving a car from Illinois to California which each level having barley no difference than the last

### 1/5 — Бездарность

*2018-11-12*

Худший раннер на планете

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Please respond

*2026-07-06*

So this is the most recent Review and I REALLY like this game but can you please add some new stuff? The last time this game was updated was 7 years ago and I would like it if y’all added some new cars maybe some new states and other stuff but please respond to this and it would be cool if there were more tricks that we could do and it would be funny and also kinda cool if there were more more billboards. And it would be cool if there were different modes like, endless mode, time battle, and race mode! Oh and it would be cool if we could customize the monkey! But please respond to this and consider my request!:) Thanks Y’all!

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2023-07-05*

I never knew about Route 66 until playing this game.  It’s interesting and educational!  It makes you feel like you’re a part of history when you play!

Thank you for making this!

By the way, what is the main title theme song called?  I love that music!  It combines both sadness and strength making you feel even more like you’re a part of the history involved!

Please make another of these!

It’s a fun little game that I enjoy playing during my downtime.  It’s very relaxing — except for the crashes!

The scenery is nice, the cars are fun, I like learning about Route 66 (makes you want to travel), and I really enjoy the music (does anyone know what the main theme is called?)!

All in all, a very nice little app!
