### 1/5 — :(

*2026-07-06, version 2.6*

No no no no no IT SUCKS

### 5/5 — memories

*2024-02-13*

I remember 12 year old me being obsessed with fingerboards and rc cars, the wwe games, monster jam as big as it gets, and this masterpiece. Thank u developer for being part of my childhood.

### 5/5 — Very good for a twelve year old game.

*2023-08-09*

I’ve seen other reviews of people talking down on this game, but it is 12 years old. Sure it’s had some performance improvements but don’t expect it to be in 4K UHD 120FPS. But I’d say the quality is very good for its age, and the physics are exactly how an RC would work! I’ve only played with the truck, and I’d say it’s extremely accurate, the way you flip if you catch air on a tight turn, and just the sensitivity of turning instantly. And the AI of the other cars crashing into me is exactly what me and my friends would do if we were racing each other in real life!

### 5/5 — Make a 2nd one!!

*2022-11-18*

They should definetly make a 2nd one and make the maps and cars unlockable but maybe some be able to purchase. And if you win a race you get coins to buy maps, cars and upgrades

### 5/5 — Long time player

*2022-07-31, version 2.5*

I’ve played this game since like 2017, back then it was my favorite game but then i took a break. Started it back up again and i’m actually bringing back those memories, i know your game is small right now and has been. But it’s truly very good, trust me. You’ve kept me attached to this game and bring back memories from like 5 years ago and it’s still as fun as back then. Great game, keep it up :D

### 1/5 — This game is so bad

*2021-07-14*

Every time I try to play the bots always go in front of me it’s so annoying I can’t play I don’t recommend this game.

### 5/5 — A lovely bit of nostalgia

*2021-06-16, version 2.4*

I played this game on my old iPad and loved the hell out of it, I recently found it and immediately downloaded it. I bought bundle 1 and had loads of fun looking through the old maps, I used to love it and still do :)

### 5/5 — Cool!!

*2021-05-01*

Can owner put 10 IA that will so cool

### 4/5 — Good game!!!!!!!

*2020-05-26, version 2.4*

Good game but the ads happen too much, also need free drive and a coin system

### 4/5 — Add more stuff

*2019-10-27*

Overall the game is great and fun but you start off with 2 cars and 2 tracks and when you buy bundle 1 you only get 4 cars and 3 tracks.please add another bundle with at least 4 cars and 4 tracks.but overall awesome game!
