    RR3 is a interesting racing game to say the least. On one hand, it is one of the most gorgeous games on the iPhone that EA has ever released, but on the other hand, the game was rigged with microtransactions and at times, infuriating controls, and before 2023, EA was being EA. So in the end, EA and developer, Firemonkeys provided a racing game that has so much going on.

    There is much variety in Cars and it just getting fresher and fresher each 1-2 months bringing some new content which may be good or bad, it has been surviving for a decade since the game came out.

    Recommended to play if you're a die-hard racing lover on mobile!

    I honestly don't know why this game has low ratings, the people who are hating on the game because EA make no sense. This game is flipn awesome and is the best sim racing we got on mobile. This game is really awesome and every racing game fan will like it, i love the graphics and photo mode and the customization option on the cars

    Unplayable after you finish beginer stage and move on semi-pro stage you have to pay money for gold coins. Game is updated evry month and contains cars for one series and costs up to 1000 gold. This means that you have to buy gold because game give aruod 50 gold and 20 gold for completing the level. Graphics are great, gameplay is **** game balance is **** controls are okay, physics is okay.

    I’ll keep it plain and simple. You need to spend hundreds of dollars... for ONE good car. Yeah. Just go and spend your money on a pc and forza or assetto corsa if you actually wanna play a racing game.

    Um dos melhores gráficos já vistos em um jogo mobile,milhares de carros, eventos, opção de tunar o seu veículo, o único ponto negativo é a pouca quantia ganha por vencer as corridas más isto não tira a qualidade do jogo, para quem curte corridas este jogo é a escolha certa.

    I recently downloaded this game. I'm a big fan of racing games like rFactor, F1 2016 and others alike. This game has an amazing production value. Great tracks, amazing gameplay and good graphics. I enjoyed the Ferrari challenge a lot with fun races. But I found out i needed to buy some upgrades, because I didn't have enough money in game.

I enjoyed the Ferrari challenge a lot with fun races. But I found out i needed to buy some upgrades, because I didn't have enough money in game.
    For Fase 7 session 1 I drove on Spa-Franchorchamps. I set really fast times on track but still I couldn't beat the challenge. I searched on youtube and saw a guy winning this challenge with speed much slower than me! How was this possible I thought? I found out he bought all upgrades. Still, he was slower than me but passed the challenge! So this game is really cheating all the players! It's not how fast you drive, but how much money you spend on your car! This is seriously shocking. With more upgrades you don't have to driver faster, the game actually gets easier!
    I understand they want to introduce this stupid paying style to games, but this is seriously cheating from the developer and even more shocking than paying a lot of money for the best cars.
    I'm really sad by having this experience. If this is the future of gaming I feel really sad. Developers used to love their fanbase, but now there stealing money, even from their best players. People shouldn't accept this kind of behavior from these companies.

    Let's start with the positives. After playing this game for nearly a year it has amazing gameplay, excellent graphics and latest cars. For a free app it is the ultimate!

    But, you are drawing yourself into a massive swindle. 1 of two things will happen when you play.

    Option 1: you will play for free and never pay into the game. If so you will not be able to complete it unless you spend about 1000 hours of your life repeated playing one race to earn the Gold currency needed for any good car or ridiculously expensive upgrades.

    Option 2: you will purchase gold to make progress. Do not expect this to be cheap. You will probably need to spend somewhere between £1000 gbp to £10000 gbp (depending on how many hours you want to go in circles from option 1) to complete the game. Note that if you do make an in app purchase you will LOSE 15 free GC a day. So effectively giving your money away anyway. Wait a month and you can gain that in watching free ads anyway. Some users are questioning the legality of this.

    Lastly, although there is a support email, don't expect it to be seriously considered. It will mostly be brushed aside and about 1 time in ten you will get the help you need.

    Oh, there is one other problem. The game is so good you will get addicted and then drawn into one of the complaint situations at some point!

    Just as one might say about an incompetent driver mishandling a beautiful super car "nice car, shame about the driver", so one might say about Real Racing 3 (Real Ripoff or Ripoff Racing - either name fits like a glove) "nice game, shame about the developer". Talk about being utterly and completely driven by greed, this game takes the biscuit at every level.
    And they have the temerity to talk about honour. What brought on this rant? Well it's been building ever since I first discovered the superb Real Racing 3 graphics, handling and sheer visual pleasure it delivers. However, within 5 minutes of playing this game I found my joy and pleasure utterly overshadowed by the two game playing protocols of entrapment and extortion that EA have brought as their legacy ever since acquiring the original developers and, most regrettably, this game.
    Why entrapment? They bill it as a free game, and it is free, to download and install. And it is so damned compelling to play, and this is where the extortion comes in. From the first engine rev in a race, any race, EA are degrading the performance of the car so it will need a 'service' after about 10 KM or a few laps of racing, a 'service' that will not only entail payment in one of the two currencies of the game, R$, but will also entail a wait, hours to days long in some cases, while the car is 'serviced'. A wait? Whatever for? Haven't I just paid for the service? Well, here is the entrapment again. You want to carry on immediately? Of course you do. So if you let us extort some racing gold, the other currency, from you, we can 'expedite' the 'servicing'. You can also buy more 'mechanics', for racing gold of course, and does this mean the service times are reduced? Don't be so silly, of course not.
    All this sounds quite trivial and meaningless, after all your racing wins are earning you R$ and racing Gold, aren't they? Well, yes, but at a rate that is so utterly disproportionate with the cost of racing, a balance that has been skilfully worked out by EA that in order to ensure the unbroken continuity of the experience, the player will very rapidly turn to the online purchase options which is what the game is all about, at least as far as EA is concerned.
    Online purchases? Oh dear! That old hoary chestnut. EA offer you packs of R$ and racing gold starting from £4.99 all the way up to £99.99. Gosh that's a lot! So, if I wish to continue playing this 'free' game without these tiresome wait periods (many hours to days for faster cars) after a few laps of racing, surely if I buy, say £40 worth (about what a console game costs), that will be that, won't it?
    Would that that were true. As you progress in the game and acquire new cars, which start to cost about 10 to 100 races worth of winnings and then set about upgrading them with each tiny increment costing another 10 - 100 races worth of winnings for fractional improvements and of course some enhancements and cars can only be acquired with racing gold, rare as hen's teeth, you quickly realise why there are £99.99 packs of online purchases, of which you will require many, many, many packs to continue unhindered play. The actual cost of this 'free' game can run into many, many hundreds of £s, enough indeed to buy every console and every console racing game available today. In fact, more than enough to buy a real car.
    Then of course there are the wonderful, 'generous' special events to 'win for free' an upmarket expensive car. Well that can't be bad! Well, actually it's dreadful, as you might expect given the EA touch. The car will be provided in its base form and every tiny upgrade will cost more than the car itself and some increments will only be available with, rare as hen's teeth, racing gold. And do try winning the races, a necessary criteria for 'winning' the car, without making the disproportionately expensive upgrades if only as an exercise in frustration, further compounded by the hours long 'service' cycle every few laps. Should you persevere with this folly and actually 'win the free car' you will have paid about 10-50 times its worth had you bought it normally.
    Buying a car is another extortion bottleneck where every car purchased, the further you progress, costs many race wins worth (up to 100+ for faster cars) and entails several hours to days of waiting for it to be 'delivered', expedited of course by paying, again, with, rare as hen's teeth, racing gold. The same extortionate formula is applied to upgrading with many hours to days for 'R&D' to complete, but with, of course, the 'give us a few quid and we'll shorten it for you' philosophy in play.

    The driving and the courses are another source of considerable irritation and bad behaviour introduced by EA. The irritation comes from the fact that the racing and courses are endlessly repetitive with the same courses, trials and tests for every new car, level and competition; over and over and over and over the same old, same old. The bad behaviour co

    This game's graphics are brilliant, but I think the freemium model was pushed a bit too far here. If you're just playing casually for short bursts you should be ok, but without spending money you can't get that far here because they make it hard to play for free.

Cars need servicing after just 15-20 km of driving and some cars take up to 6 hours to service. You can speed it up with gold, but that either costs money or you can slowly (SLOWLY) get it for free. To buy new cars takes a long time to save up for, particularly as you progress further the cars cost like their real equivalents , in excess of $100,000, sometimes as high as $4,000,000. (in game money, of course. Not real money.) But you can buy in game money with real money, and you almost have to if you want to progress quickly.

    But for a while at least you can have a good time with this app.

    I would give this a 9 or 10 if it weren't for a couple negative things:
    1. Freemium model has gotten heavier and heavier.. upgrading a car to the max now usually requires gold even at earlier steps of upgrades (in first cars it was only on last upgrades). Prices for purchasing such currency are insanely high, and new cars get released all the time so if you want to spend.. there is no limit, you will end up spending more than buying a proper pc and a real game. With that said, if you're a VERY active player, you will manage to get to end game.. slowly but you will.
    2. When they increased gold per level up, they didn't reimburse any gold to people who were already high level. very unfair, as new levellers gained about 7 times as much gold per level up. that's a huge amount when you're talking about 100/200 levels.

    It's a pity that the gaming world has discovered how lame people are, and sadly that freemium works (over 90% of all profits from all apps in the world are from freemium games). We all stand here and complain, yet somehow most people are lamers that do spend a lot of cash to gain unfair advantage over other players.

    This game is all about trying to get you to spend money... specifically to buy gold.

After some initial money based upgrades to cars that you can win the game they start making it so you can only do upgrades with gold which you cannot accumulate fast enough. You can't fully upgrade cars without using gold which the game does to provide enough opportunity to accumulate. 26 gold to go from 200 -> 201 mph and it takes you 20 races to get 26 gold so they want you to buy gold packs.

    The Euro Supercar Duel is a good example. The last race requires a performance rating of 47. My Bentley Countinental Supersports has a PR of 45.3. Engine upgrade level 5 costs 18 gold and takes the car to 45.6, still far away from the required 47. It will take at least 70 gold to get the car to the required 47. So you spend 70 gold which takes forever to do with gameplay and then when you win all the races you'll win about 22 gold. So you will need to spend at least 100 gold to get the car to the minimum level to be eligible to win the level and you'll win 22 gold.

    Simply, the game is designed to get you to spend money.

Unfortunately with each upgrade the focus has become more about extracting the absolute maximum amount of cash from players. I've played since the game came out frequently several hours a day. I've spent about $30 buying extra gold to buy cars. It used to be that once you owned all of the cars in a race series, you could compete the series with cars updated with race dollars, earned by playing. Now every new series requires upgrades with gold in order to complete.

    I just bought the 66 Shelby cobra. I spent $20 to get the gold to buy it. In order to finish this series I will need at least 120 more gold to upgrade the car before I can even enter the few races. That will cost me another $20 or playing every day for 4 months.

    I own 73 of the 79 cars. The last 6 cars cost a total of 3000 gold. That would $300 or playing every day for 1500 days. $300 is ludicrous. That's enough for a home gaming system.

    On top of that is their tech support. I spent $10 and bought 65 gold. At the time I actually did it because I liked the game so much and hadn't paid a cent. I thought they actually deserved some money. Then my gold disappeared. I asked their tech support for help in late November 2013. Since then I have receive 3 responses, all asking for information, the same auto request each time. I answered each one with the information requested. I gave them the same info each time, exactly as requested. I've spent about 3 hours of effort trying to get help, It's January 30/14 and they have done nothing.

    Without a doubt the worst tech support I have seen since I got my first computer in1990.

    A great game but don't expect to complete the game unless you're rich. Don't ever expect help.

An example: 400 gold coins £34.99,1000 £69.99!!!!! Some upgrades cost between 80 and 120 gold coins, just for one, and you might have to get 7 or 8 to get the better car and win to progress.
    In short, you will grind to a halt. I cannot see how I can get to the Ferraris without spending huge amounts on Gold to upgrade my cars!!! Any ideas from you experts........

If you do not have a newer model of an Apple product, you and your device will have a moderately difficult time running the large racing simulator. I have had this game crash multiple times, either in the middle of a race, or while the game is loading. However, the fact that Electronic Arts has managed to apply such detailed three-dimensional graphics, this factor counter acts the lack of processing power on my current device.
    As I said before, the three-dimensional graphics applied to this game are extremely detailed; I have not managed to find a game with better graphics on the iOS so far. The sound may not be as high quality as the graphics but there is a benefit to the moderate sound quality, EACH SOUND IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH CAR.
    I have a few suggestions such as, when your vehicle needs servicing; I have noticed that the time it takes to service it increases with the class of the vehicle. I suggest that Electronic Arts should keep the servicing time the same for each vehicle. Perhaps 5 to 7 minutes?
    I also suggest that in the store menu, Electronic Arts could put an exchange service, where as you can trade in game money (Also known as R$) for gold.

    I enjoy Real Racing 3 and I give kudos to Electronic Arts for producing an excellent iOS gaming experience.

    A great game with gorgeous looks spoiled by excessive in-app demands. [May 2013, p.86]

    A fantastic tablet racing game, but one that greatly overestimates its own importance and value with slow progress and expensive in-app purchases. [May 2013, p.81]

    With the beautiful graphics and large amount of content, Real Racing 3 could be one of the best games the smartphone has ever seen. However the microtransactions and long waiting times take away much of the fun.
