    Desperate money grabbing, lack of actual game.. Makes mario kart tour look benign and benevolent. Please no more mobile monetizating onDesperate money grabbing, lack of actual game.. Makes mario kart tour look benign and benevolent. Please no more mobile monetizating on switch. . This is why I never play games on my phone. Appalling. Looks like fun maybe if it wasn't mugging you. Deleted after 3 goes, and I love racing games, but couldn't bear even the free content. Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair, I've a kid, sick of hearing v bucks please I want. Please bring a law out and save gaming from the pariahs… Full Review »

    First off, it's a great port of the mobile version, but some big things stand out to me that shouldn't be an issue for such a long goingFirst off, it's a great port of the mobile version, but some big things stand out to me that shouldn't be an issue for such a long going franchise. 1. The controls. In the mobile version you can tilt your phone as little or as much as possible to steer your cars precisely, with a controller, you only have left and right, that's it. No analog support in a 2019 game is unacceptable. 2. Unbalanced online matchmaking. It's simple, pair players that have a similar car ranking and that are in the same tier. I get paired with vehicles nearly twice my power, and get destroyed, and lose some of my rating because of it. If you want to play this game competitively, only play the time trial events that come up, those are fun.

    3. Latency online. This may be only my problem, i'm not sure, but i often fail to score a take down on another player because of lag. It's very laggy at times, not to where my car teleports but the other way around. I haven't been able to try the split screen mode yet but i hope it's fun. All in all think it's an ok game, but for those wanting to progress as quickly as they can and get more vehicles by climbing leaderboards, winning online races, etc, i can see it to be an extremely frustrating experience. Just get Grid if you want a solid racing game.    … Full Review »
