## What is Smash Bandits Racing?

Named as one of TouchArcade's Top 10 Games of the year 2013. From the makers of Smash Cops – crash through America in the craziest road race to hit the App Store. 

Power up to faster cars, get the edge with getaway gadgets and outrun the cops as you speed to the state line.

SMASH EVERYTHING
Well, almost. Whichever route you take through an ever-changing world of dirt tracks and dusty logging towns you can crash and bash your way through smashable scenery in the most intense display of destruction you have ever seen. 

UPGRADE & OUTRUN
Make sure you’re always ahead of the game (and the cops) with cool car upgrades. Start with a puny compact and make it awesome with extra speed, handling and strength. 

SMASH THE LEADERBOARD
What crazy road race would be complete without a TV chopper hovering overhead? The further you get and the more you smash, the bigger the TV ratings and the more cash you earn. 

BOOST YOUR CHANCES
Before you head off you get to choose something to help you along the way. Stinger-proof tires, the 'Stunner' car taser and even a tank are available to give you the edge over the relentless Sheriff McBride and his deputies.

CRUISE CONTROLS
Innovative one-finger control makes it super easy to drive, drift & spin your car, and unleash those helpful gadgets - no matter where you’re playing.

TAKE A BANDIT CHALLENGE
The Smash Bandits race organisers don’t think that simply out-running the cops is a big enough problem, so they’ve put together over 100 challenges where you can test your driving skills to the limit.

### 5/5 — Still great in 2026

*2026-08-05, version 1.10.5.4*

I always come back to this game whenever I have a long road trip or something, very few games nowadays can be played offline because they’re filled with ads so it’s always nice to remember how goated mobile games used to be. Would love to see a new car or map expansion or something and I’ve bought every upgrade and got gold on every car so not much left to do but level up now, still enjoy it tho.

### 5/5 — Fix the glitch

*2026-08-05, version 1.10.5.4*

Игра мне очень нравиться, так как я играл в нее все детство. Я собирался опять поиграть в неё, но при завершении тренировки просят сыграть в гонку и при нажатии вылетает игра, при повторных попытках ничего не помогло. Хотелось чтоб вы пофиксили данный баг так как многие игроки хотят опять поиграть в эту легендарную игру, но не получается. (Нажмите что отзыв был полезным чтоб разработчики увидели его)

### 5/5 — Favorite Game

*2026-08-01, version 1.10.5.4*

I’ve been playing this game for 10 years.

### 5/5 — .

*2026-07-29, version 1.10.5.4*

Очень обидно, что игра заброшена разработчиками

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2026-07-23, version 1.10.5.4*

What a great game. Seriously this game is better than 90 percent of mobile games I’ve played. Really solid mechanics and a decent size map to drive around. The gameplay loop is satisfying, I highly recommend you give this game a try!

### 4/5 — Eigentlich gut

*2026-07-08*

An sich macht das Spiel echt Spaß aber seit fast 4 Jahren ist der Rennmodus verbuggt und das ist echt schade, da dieser im Bezug auf das Geld am meisten Fortschritt bringt. Dass die Entwickler das seit 4 Jahren nicht fixen ist unverständlich.

### 5/5 — Bug no modo corrida

*2026-07-07*

Tela preta e o carro no reinderiza arrumem por favor

### 4/5 — Still a fun game in 2026

*2026-07-05, version 1.10.5.4*

I’ve recently come back to playing this game as I used to play it years ago as a kid and it is still very fun. I’ve noticed a bug which is that during the boat section, the smash-able boats + piers and explosives won’t smash as you just drive right through them.
I know this is an old game, but it would be great to see more love put into it again through some updates and DLCs. Possibly a map expansion, new cars, new gadgets etc.
Overall, an amazing mobile game which has aged incredibly well!!

### 4/5 — Amazing action

*2026-06-11, version 1.10.5.4*

I only give it 4 stars cos of the settings. The gameplay is awesome. The graphics are amazing and the physics are pretty good. Goals, upgrades, lots of cars all to work for and unlock. You get perks as well to unlock as you progress. 
But getting back to the games settings. It needs controller settings. Like sensitivity and more audio options. Turning off that damn news lady would be nice. She was fine at first but after a while of playing she’s just annoying now and distracting. She’s repetitive and doesn’t have a lot of phrases to say.
Different kinds or types of steering controls would be nice too. Like a straight across left and right steering to try. Maybe others. not just this complete circle around the car. I don’t know if others would be better but it’s just a thought if possible.
I love that you can get into a boat for a bit and even steal other vehicles when yours is disabled. That’s really good. I’m hoping there’s more stuff like that as I play further. If not, you should add more. Like motorcycles, bicycles maybe just for fun haha different types of boats, adding air vehicles even. It’s a really fun game. But I’m still thinking about the steering controls. I just feel like there could be another method to try and even adding steering sensitivity. And definitely add an audio option for that news anchor lady please. I take want to turn that audio off without having to mute the sndFX. Thanks so much for this awesome action packed, explosive mayhem, evasion, hell of a joy ride

### 5/5 — O jogo é perfeito

*2026-06-04*
