MMX Hill Dash — OffRoad Racing Reviews

by Glegipon

First let me say thank god I didn’t pay money for this. Second, I play this with my daughter, and I have played for 24 hours and barely unlocked the fourth car, which took me hours to get that far. Third, when the game crashes (often) it asks if you want to use the local memory or the server memory to reload your game. Fourth, these two options are time and date stamped, which I would think makes it easy (you just pick which is more current, I assume). Finally, after a crash I did pick the more current of these two selections, and immediately restored my game back to “start over, f@@@ my life.” With a game like this, just don’t download it. Game is super addictive, but with a glitch like this just break your phone for fun (at least you’ll still have your achievement in-hand).

I’ve been trying to beat the snow mayhem marathon for almost 2 days, no matter what car I use I just get screwed over, you have the beach balls that would sometimes end up getting hit by the car then getting stuck in your way, you have an upgrade that helps you flip in the air but there is almost no point for it since some cars barely even move when fully upgraded. An upgrade for the gas tank would be way more useful than the one that helps you flip faster. Plus, adding levels that are crazy hard to beat is ridiculous, it’s almost like it’s a level made for a 1,000,000$ tournament.

So far I’m enjoying this game. Controls are easy, the graphics are great, and I’m enjoying the challenge with the leaderboards. I haven’t had any problems with this game aside of it crashing on me once.
- EDIT -
this was one of my favorite games, I played for a couple hours every day. In my opinion, the creators should definitely cut back the ads. Literally every 4-5 tries on a track and I get a 30 second (not skippable) ad. It becomes very annoying. I could deal with ads, BUT, what I can’t deal with, is that there is one track. One track that is unbeatable. I have numerous friends that play this game, and tons more who play on Facebook, and not ONE person has beaten this certain track. I must have attempted at least 100 tries (seriously) with every single vehicle I have. You can’t progress until this track complete, and the price to buy a new map or vehicle is outrageous. It’s 20k coins, when the only way you can get coins is by beating other peoples scores (100 points)
Or buy getting 400 free coins every 4 hours or so. This game has potential, but I wish the creators would of fully tested the game before releasing it. Until then, my review will go down to 2 stars.

I love side scrolling driving physics games. Tried this one out and enjoyed the first hour or so enough to pay the $1.99. (Price of going to the arcade for 5 minutes) then came the inevitable grind of either spending hours running a course that gave minimal point rewards and placed them in areas that require you to forget about completing the level in a timely manner and are sometimes impossible to gather, or "watching" 20 minutes of ads to bank the amount of coins needed to upgrade your vehicle.

After you submit to that grind you will eventually get the the mayhem levels which should actually be called Insanity "doing the same level tens or hundreds of times expecting a different result" seems that you either must get very lucky with the random physics that are imparted upon your vehicle, or submit to the paywall to buy the vehicle necessary to complete that level which is not unlockable due to the design of the vehicle unlocks.

You need vehicle a to complete course b to allow for the unlock of vehicle c to complete course d, but a is only unlocked after completion of course d..........

Its a fun game when you start out but after getting to tough levels like Desert and City Mayhem its just gets ridiculously impossible. And beating those levels is the only way to getthe really good vehicles. I’ve desicated so much time to beating these levels and haven’t got results. This is the most frustrating out of all the problems. Next are the fricking ads. Almost every race another video pops up! JUST STOP WITH THE ADS. But the best way to get past it is just force close and reopen because doing that is quicker than a stupid 30 second ad. Honestly if you’re easily annoyed by stuff don’t get this. If you like pouring lots of time and too much effort, go ahead ans see if you have fun. I thought i would then it went from easy straight to crazy hard.

Just wanted to drop by and say, I’ve been playing hill dash since iPad #1. Every time apples 3 year product life expectancy came up, my then current iPad would unexplainably croak and I would go out like a moron robot brainwashed by big corporate programming and buy another one. One of the first things I would do is reinstall hill dash, it’s like home cooking or something. I’ve finished all the levels countless times. Then I would just go back and start again. Well, Rent in the apple app palace must have gone up hella because I can only get three maybe four attempts at a level before a 30 second commercial pops up. It wasn’t like that in the olden days! Im either building up a resistance to my apple flavored Thorazine or I’m just plain crazy but, I can’t stand commercials! I can’t do it any more. All those seconds add up to minutes and then whatever comes next that I could be funneling into real meaningful and even MINDful gameplay (I’m not sure what that means but every one is saying it so it must be good)
Anyway, I gave you 2 stars for old times sake. Maybe someday in the distant future when my mind is uploaded to another moron robot we can look back and laugh about all this. But from the way things are going I don’t think so. We’re all doomed.....

I'm not sure which aspect is more frustrating, the inconsistent "physics" or the utterly ridiculous amount of ads. As far as the physics go, I can run the same map four times, exactly the same way, pedal to the metal and when I encounter the first obstacle sometimes I'll bounce up onto the rear wheels, sometimes I'll land on the front wheels, and occasionally I'll land upside down. Don't get me started on bouncing off of some drawbridges after 1000m of an 1100m course, nearly to the end of your 56th attempt to beat it and flipping over uncontrollably to explode when you've simply bounced backwards the other 55 times.

Then come the ads. Yes, I get that this is a free game funded by ads. Yes, you can opt in to ads to get free upgrades or gold. But when after every 3-4 attempts at a track you throw in a 30 second ad that can't be skipped? It wouldn't be so bad if it were every 5 minutes or so, but the fact is when you're exploding every 32 seconds due to the aforementioned inconsistent "physics" this game ends up being an exercise in futility and has nearly resulted in a flying iPhone on multiple occasions.

If the physics were more consistent and the ads slightly less frequent, this had the makings to be a great game. Until then, my iPhone is at risk of being thrown at least once a day.

It really bothers me how when you actually upgrade your truck to a new color, it’s literally the same as that old truck, I literally spent so much time getting coins upgrading slots of the truck so I can get the whole next level and color of that truck, and it’s literally the same as the truck before when you fully upgrade it, it’s just a different color. I was expecting more speed or grip than the previous truck, all that time and coins just for ONE MORE SLOT. Can somebody just fix this??

by Robking21

Great graphics and effects, the grind is really fair (for purchasing cars etc) but the control is soooo frustrating I had to delete the game. When I'm attempting to beat a time or complete a course to advance and I have to fight the front wheels flying upwards and then my vehicle mysteriously exploding because my roof touches the ground I want to go outside and punch a squirrel, then find his nest and punch his entire family of baby squirrels. Then there are levels with beach balls that for some reason make you explode if they lightly touch your roof. Then there's those frikkin campers that just drop on you randomly when your making good time and you explode. What's on my roof? Is there nitro glycerin in the paint? Why am I constantly exploding? Why does the game insist on ruining the fun of the game with crappy physics and random kicks to the nards when you're doing well?
I tried. I tried for longer than I should have because like a bad movie with a good idea; I wanted to enjoy it.

Starts out great. Cool graphics and sound. But as you advance it turns to crap. Snow, Mayhem marathon 1 can't get past 600 meters with any car available. There's no controlling what happens to the car. You hit a pipe the car flys into the air and knocks it around like a pinball with no control until it explodes. Maxing out the car levels only makes it worse. After hundreds of attempts I give up. Loved this game at first, now I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Sorry, maybe if you made it just slightly more user friendly I'd keep trying. I understand difficult but this is ridiculous.
Edit... ok, so I'm still frustrated with the Snow, Mayhem marathon 1 after 5 days of trying, still not finish able. So I went back and took a look at what it would take to open other tracks and vehicles. Having fun with it now. We'll see how it goes, I may still up the star rating again.

Keeping your truck's center of gravity and going as fast as you can is rewardingly fun if you succeed. Only wish you could see your time against other players and compete in a separate PvP arena. It would be nice to be able to choose your own paint schemes and stickers (decals) as well. Also, linking your game to Facebook, apparently, is the only way to change your profile pic. This is a problem because I use an alternate browser to filter out the junk, and there's no way to link to Facebook via this browser instead of Safari. Fix and/or add these issues, and I'll give it the five stars it deserves!

A lot of people are saying this game becomes impossible at later levels and that is simply not true. It does get really hard bordering on ridiculous but not impossible. I beat the game in about 2 weeks while just playing in my spare time. IMO this is the best Version of this game out there but it needs some tweaks to be perfect. Like the ability to race more then just the time ghosts and Facebook friends. The game also felt really short, but for a free a game it’s perfect. I didn’t have to spend any money to beat it.

by Oldgamer67

I’ve played quite a bit over the past week and (mostly) have enjoyed every minute. Those that say it quickly gets impossible are wrong. It does get pretty challenging tho. My main problem with the game is that the free upgrades and coins the game offers usually cause the game to crash without giving the free thing you just watched the ad for; just a little frustrating. If that were fixed I’d easily be willing to give it the full 5 stars.

by Matt5295

I really like the game, but it could be a lot better...please add the ability to customize the color of the cars...or at the very least, offer different colors to each car....another nice touch would be to add different weather....what about adding a trailer race...add a hitch to whatever car you like and attach the pink trailer and race towing a trailer! And you can't loose your trailer or you loose...
Keep up the good work...

by Jake900908

This is one of my favorite games on my iPad I like how you can upgrade your cars but the only problem I have with mmx hill climb is there are only 13 cars so I think there should be from 20-30 cars because then it would take you longer to finish the game also I think there should be more challenging levels because then it would be harder to earn the cars so then that would make the game last longer but other wise it is one of my favorite games

by Lucky_2304

I feel that this game needs little improvement whatsoever, the only improvement I may see is the number of vehicles. I understand that it is fairly new so there aren’t expected to be a lot of vehicle right now. In order to achieve the satisfaction of people with similar improvement ideas is to make suggestion page somewhere for players to suggest cars and maps added to the game.
For instance a dragster or muscle car with insanely low stability but a wheelie bar would be nice. Or maybe a side by side.

by Fro'33

Finally I have found a game that is not boring and it’s challenging and fun, though frustrating. But I love and hate it at the same time.
I just received a receipt for a purchase, and I didn’t make any purchase for any item in this game. Unless there is a cost for the game. I never saw anything that I said I had to pay to get an extra vehicle, and I am very careful to see if a charge for anything is needed. I love the game, but I didn’t pay for anything extra. Thank You.

I've recently downloaded this game for a second time to combat boredom. Not only is the gameplay fantastic, but I encountered an issue with my Cloud saving a game incorrectly. I spent some time emailing with customer service, and have been blown away by how pleasant the experience has been! They have turned what could very easily have been an "uninstall and never again" situation, into a positive. Keep up the great work, Hutch Family. You all rock!

Overall, I’m finding more variety in map styles than Hill Climb Racing 2. For the online races it’s either smooth ground, a bunch of divots, or insane hills. While in this game there’s the exact same ideas along with: stairs, collapsing bridges, movable object that form new pathways, jumps with zero ground in between. As well as resistances such as object being thrown at you, or giant fans that can flip you over. There are also more modes than HCR2, there’s marathon, speed run, elite, and normal. While HCR2 has either online races which are either too short or insanely amplified and kinda stupid hard when using lower levels. While I now I’ve seen other people getting mad at the physics of the game, it does say “FUN” in the description so it’s all about your point of view. The only place where HCR2 is better is the fact that it’s the sequel to a great game so 🤷🏽‍♂️

by JGarcia606

I really enjoyed this game. It took me a while to unlock all vehicles and all the different races but that’s what made the game so fun. I was very disappointed however that once I unlocked the beast that there were not more races to complete. Part two of the game is not nearly as fun. Wish they would add more vehicles and more races to the original game instead. I would love to be able to use the beast on new races instead of ones I’ve already won. Thanks for all the weeks of enjoyment!

by Dhrihdjdhfkfh

I like the game and everything about it expect the “elite leaderboard” this doesn’t seem bad but every time I die because of the red pipes this leaderboard pops up and I DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT STUPID LEADERBOARD!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I have gotten a new best and then it shows up (btw I don’t have the 60 thingys required to unlock it) and the new best doesn’t show! This almost always happens on snow mayhem and I don’t like it (I haven’t beaten this level yet) that makes it even more annoying to have. Either delete the leaderboard or don’t make it pop up every time I die because of the red pipes (and don’t I REPEAT DON’T MAKE IT EVERY TIME I DIE.)

by Megapeyt

Snow: Big Air, the first bridge I come to in the APC (or any vehicle for that matter) snaps after I get on it. I can’t even finish the course never mind a minute and fifteen second goal.

Other than that phenomenal game, the ads aren’t overwhelming, the physics are a bit inconsistent but nothing too terrible, feel like the thrust from the gas pedal could be more consistent as well. There are times where I absolutely fly, then there are times where it feels like I left the parking brake on.

Love the competition aspect of it, am frequently competing with family and it gets very intense.
