### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Баг

*2026-05-29, version 1.10.5.4*

Пожалуйста, почините гонки!!!!

### 4/5 — Any More Updates

*2026-05-07, version 1.10.5.4*

It’s a really good game that I used to play for hours, but it would be nice to have an update. The last bug fix was 2 years ago, please don’t give up on the game.

### 3/5 — Fehler im Rennen

*2026-03-28*

Moin, an sich ein cooles Spiel, jedoch ist das teilnehmen an Rennen nicht möglich, weil man dort nur schwarz sieht und das Auto ist total verbugt. An die Entwickler: probiert es doch einfach selber mal aus ein Rennen zu fahren… wäre super das bald zu beheben, denn auf meinem alten Samsung funktioniert alles einwandfrei..
PS: wenn dies behoben ist, stehen 5 Sterne nix im Wege, jedoch ist das fahren von Rennen wichtig für den Fortschritt, daher das eher negative Feedback

### 3/5 — режим гонка

### 3/5 — Mode course crash

*2026-01-25, version 1.10.5.4*

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un problème avec Smash Bandits Racing sur iOS. Le mode course plante immédiatement dès que je tente de le lancer, que ce soit sur mon iPhone ou sur mon iPad.
	•	Le jeu est à jour sur les deux appareils.
	•	iOS est la dernière version sur les deux appareils.
	•	J’ai essayé de lancer le mode classique avant, redémarrer mes appareils et libérer la mémoire, mais le crash persiste.
	•	Les autres modes fonctionnent normalement.

Pouvez-vous me dire s’il existe une solution ou si un correctif est prévu ?

Merci d’avance pour votre aide

### 5/5 — Поддержка

*2026-01-22*

### 3/5 — OPTION TO TURN BACKGROUND VOICE OFF

*2026-01-04*

PLEASE make it so I can turn off the journalist's voice on the background while she comments on everything that I do like: "guess the LCPD are gonna need to respray that one!" it is so annoying it’s genuinely pissing me off to the point I can NOT play the game.

*2025-12-14, version 1.10.5.4*

This game is good overall, but you guys really have to do with some major updates. add more cars or maps would be a great game changer for the game

### 4/5 — A glitch but perfect game

*2025-11-28, version 1.10.5.4*

First played this game since 2013 and recently picked it up again and all I could say is I love it like before. 
But I do hope you guys can address one issue: in the second race of the Talon GT Tour, the track had a bug and it caused me to not being able to finish the race (and neither my opponents).
Hope you guys can see this and fix it. Thx!

На первой гонке за награду вылетает при нажатии

### 1/5 — Проблема

*2025-07-07, version 1.10.5.4*

Режим гонка не работает

### 1/5 — Cool game but

*2025-07-02, version 1.10.5.4*

Won’t open when I attempt to restore purchases

### 1/5 — Non funzionano più le gare

*2025-06-18, version 1.10.5.4*

Bel gioco peccato che non si possono più fare le gare perché perché non partono, giocavo anni fa a questo gioco ed era perfetto non so perché l’avete rovinato. Non potendo fare le gare non si può neanche arrivare ad ottenere le due auto finali

### 1/5 — Mala la wea

*2025-05-04, version 1.10.5.4*

Muy buen juego pero que arreglen el bug del modo carrera cuando quiero jugar el modo se ve todo pixelado y me saca

### 1/5 — Crashes every time I open the game.

*2025-04-25, version 1.10.5.4*

Title is self explanatory. The game crashes after a second every time I open the app. Makes it unplayable.

### 1/5 — Rennen fixen!

*2025-03-26, version 1.10.5.4*

Wenn man ein Rennen starten will, kommt die ganze Zeit ein schwarzer Bildschirm wie bei den anderen Leute hier. Ist schon ganz nervig!
Aber sonst alles supi

### 1/5 — Wann kommt Rennen Bugfix

*2025-03-15, version 1.10.5.4*

Seit Jahren kann man keine Rennen fahren und es direkt abbricht mit blackscreen. Spielt einmal euer Game und fixt es. Das Spiel ist voll geil wenn ihr es nach mind. 3 Jahren endlich mal hinbekommen würde es spielbar zu machen. Meinetwegen macht die letzte Version rein bei der es noch funktioniert hat

### 1/5 — Bug and performance

*2025-03-12, version 1.10.5.4*

Lots of bug, game laggy and cant even perform in 60fps

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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*

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!

### 5/5 — Bug no modo corrida

*2026-07-07*

Tela preta e o carro no reinderiza arrumem por favor
