Hill Climb Racing 2 Reviews

So I made a review before but I decided to change it first off why did fingersoft decide to add parts. I’m literally in a Fully Maxed out Mk2 when a hill climber is literally beating me in races. The parts feature ruined the game for me you can add the best parts and you can can beat like maxed out vehicles. It just ruined the game completely. Secondly, why is the Dune Buggy, Legendary Super Car, monster truck, and Diesel Truck so fast when Like I said I’m in maxed out cars and I’m getting smoked by a dune buggy and etc. And why the hell did you add the Mono War and The stupid soccer challenge it’s really bad. First off Mono wars is just a bad challenge and the mono car is such a crappy vehicle. And The Soccer challenge. There’s no way to recover after the soccer ball goes behind you you ah e to end the round a start over. The game was so much better before Fingersoft added the items you can add to your car. I wish they took those at the game because it’s just dumb and too overpowered and you barely get any coins from chest and races. Lastly, I started the game and lost all my progress Fsr and why the hell an I getting partnered with Legendary Players while I’m still Plat 3 in I Hate Water. And OFC they are using the Legendary Super Car. Well this is the end of my review so if your reading this, You have completely ruined the game. 😤

But now they make all the vehicles breakdown and put stuff in the way everywhere to slow you down. I started to play for the fast paced racing, but now it’s just annoying with obstacles everywhere and traps for your vehicles to get stuck. The vehicles which breakdown are the least enjoyable to drive and the vehicles are very unbalanced in ability. I tend to use the rally car because it’s just better than all of the other vehicles; some of the vehicles are useless and you’ll spend a lot of time to upgrade them for basically to use only when forced to (team events). I don’t even know what to say about the moon lander, aside from: if you want me to use it, make it so I don’t have to play an extremely tedious, simplistic, repetitive game mode for hours to get it.

In fact, all moon events are lame. They seem to find them enthralling, being you can’t just play the adventure moon mode like you can the others; you need tickets which replenish over time. I don’t think it’s special; in fact I find all moon events tedious and annoying. Just make it so you can play those modes the same and buy the vehicle like all of the other vehicles. One less star for this rating - I started with five stars, but nothing they’ve done aside from add special boost items to the game has improved the experience. Quite the opposite - 1 star.

I’ve had this game for a few months now and it is not consistent at all. There is no way to determine where you will hit your head on tunnels, caves and such it’s always a gamble. With landing off of big jumps it’s a 50/50 you land good or stop dead in your tracks. I have noticed that when doing a wheelie also that I will hit random almost invisible bumps that kill all of my speed it is very frustrating and has cost me many races. Same with landing on hills. It’s easy to tell which vehicles in the game are over powered: the dune buggy, monster truck, sport bike, and the Lamborghini super car. The amount of forgiveness to those compared to other is downright dumb, every lobby I enter it’s always those that are on the top and no one else is able to touch them. By far the money system and mystery boxes are the worst. You get pennies for doing cup races and nickels for doing adventures. It takes forever to upgrade vehicles in this game compared to the first. Being able to trade diamonds for coins is nice but the conversions from diamonds to coins is not worth it. Lastly the mystery boxes, geez I could go on for hours. It’s just like CSR2 always getting parts for cars you don’t have and can’t afford, or parts you don’t need in general that just take up space. Over all this game needs a lot of work and the first hill climb will always be my favorite. Hopefully fingersoft will get it’s act together and fix the problems in this to make it better.

Do you want to play a decent racing game? Well you’ve come to the right place! Hill Climb Racing 2 is a nice little sequel to an old phone classic game, allowing you to play adventure maps, events against others, competitive races online, and more. But then come the issues. This game makes it so annoyingly hard to make any money that buying new vehicles, parts/upgrades, or even just buying new adventure maps is a very strict luxury. The annoying money-making mechanics combined with the fact that everything is so absurdly expensive makes it even more frustrating. There’s also the ads. It’s understandable that there’s so many on a mobile game- as it’s the developers’ jobs to monetize and live off of it- but i’ve been playing a decent bit of time and i get so many unskippable ads after every race, track, or whatever else i do, that it’s sometimes commonplace to just shut HillClimbRacing2 after one occurrence or play offline. I won’t discuss issues with the buyable pass here since it’s such a common business practices nowadays.

My overall conclusion to this game is that it’s decently fun and a good time waster, but has many very frustrating underlying issues that make me not want to play it anymore.

Alright so, as an avid player of the first Hill Climb Racing, this second installment has some good and bad points. First, with the amount of coins you earn during play through versus the cost of the levels and vehicles, it seems like it was set up to be a blatant cash grab. The "multiplayer" is nice but it's really just a subpar pairing of ghosts slightly below your best level times to make it look like multiplayer. The addition of realtime moving obstacles in levels certainly adds to the difficulty but I would rather have the original level setup where I didn't have to hope and pray that the swinging log or moving lattice was in the right position when I arrived. Why not create a real multiplayer and relegate the multiplayer ghosts to adventure mode? For a sequel, this game really doesn't stand on its own two feet like the original does, it seems more like a downgraded child friendly Chinese version of its predecessor made to quietly line the pockets of Fingersoft. To be honest, it's fun on the crapper but a bit underwhelming when you already had a formula for such high potential to begin with, ESPECIALLY with the changes to gravity and physics depending on level. Oh, and the addition of the vehicle upgrades are great, I wish you would've expanded on them with something like an upgrade tree to go with them. All in all, just like many movies these days, the original was better.

To my dear dev,
I’m writing this review to tell you something that has been bugging my mind for days. I love your game and the way it entertains me after a long day at work. What’s better than an awesome game? Playing with while listening to your favorite tracks. But here comes the problem. The ads. Personally, I have no complaints about ads in game since watching ads presumably means we, the user, supporting you guys, the dev, and that’s cool. But lately these apps are just like the mosquito that you can’t slap in the middle of the night. It shows up and when I press the “x”, it put me right to HillClimbRacing2 store. This is fine, since you can go back to the game with 1 press away. But my music is gone. I cannot turn it on again easily. I can’t play the music through swiping up and hit play, instead i have to go back to the main screen and re-play my music. Then go back playing the game. This is fine in the beginning, but repetitively doing so make me feel sick of opening Hill Climb Racing 2. I love your game but now I HAVE TO hate it. I tried to change my the kind of ad that shows up but it still works the same way. It’s weird that I have to write this at 2 a.m. I love you guys game yo be honest. I’ve been playing it since the release of the part 1. Can you guy do something about it?
Your forever support.

My main set of issues with this game are mostly mechanics of how the vehicles work. I get it, it’s a game, but motorcycles and mopeds aren't as wheelie happy as they are in this game. I can full throttle my motorcycle all day long after I take off and the front tire gets light but doesn’t leave the ground. Yet in this game if you don’t tap the throttle or the brake with regular taps your head smacks the ground. Once you’re moving and at full speed there isn’t a reason for the front wheel to ever come off the ground.
The purpose for most of the events, for a vehicle to push a ball? Or and under water race (how many cars or trucks are driving under water in a bubble)? Or how about racing in space? Who is ever going to take an F1 or Indy race car anywhere but a smooth race course? Why would you have a race tractor with a bucket still on the front? Why would the owner of a drag truck ever take it off a drag strip? In what world do a tank or a moped or a mono wheel ever compete with any other race set up vehicle? There are more ridiculous comparisons I could make but what’s the point. It’s just a game right?
For the team events the vehicles to use should entirely be up to me. I don’t own all of the vehicles and of those that I do own they aren’t fully upgraded, which takes so long with how many there are and I’m not paying real money to buy the stuff.

I’ve been playing this game for months. I’ve enjoyed it the whole way and the match making is balanced enough to keep winning 2nd or better. I have begun to stop playing and find other entertaining games is because you cannot ever earn enough in game currency to upgrade fast enough. There are so many things to purchase and so little you can gain that if you don’t buy the in game currency, you’ll never have anything worth while. I have 2 fully upgraded vehicles and that’s after months and months of grinding. There are many others and you can’t use them because the tracks are so hard that low grade vehicles can’t perform. The devs need to lower the cost for those who can’t or won’t pay to win. At least give us a little help on that. “Watch an ad,” you say. Well I have, over and over and over and it’s still not enough. And then you not only force a 30 second ad but now it’s a 30 second video ad plus a 15 second interactive ad we have to suffer. 45 seconds for ad time. Hope you’re making your money now because I see mass migration from HillClimbRacing2 to others.

Beautiful game for sure. If you want to enjoy it though. Get out your debit card.

The game play is fun, but you have to waste too much time waiting for advertisements to play. On top of that you ridiculously have to wait for theses stupid chests to open for ‘rewards’ in order to be able to progress in the game. New vehicles are added you have to ‘buy’ and then constantly ‘purchase’ upgrades to get the vehicle to a level that it is competitive. Then you have even more options you have to ‘purchase’ to be competitive. More wasted time. The offline mode tracks take too long to complete. At least track challenges usually end my runs, unlike the first version where ‘fuel level’ (actually time) was always my limiting factor. It’s not all bad though, if you have the patience of Jobe, the game play itself is actually fun. The physics of the mono wheel thing is all screwed up, if you’ve ridden a unicycle before it will drive you crazy. You can race against ‘friends’, but I don’t have a clue who my friends are I race against (well, you race against their ghost) Check it out, not a bad game, except mine has crashed at the moment and I can’t play it. It redirects me to the ‘store’ for an improved version, but no update is available. Oh well, it WAS fun.

Love the game but it just doesn’t feel the same. In the old you one you get a whole bunch of money but in the new one you gotta wait for a chest to give you a whole of stuff which is cool ,but I feel like every body is just taking advantage of this mechanic.😒 I mean yeah you guys are still updating the old one and it’s always gonna be fun but when you lower your money earning drastically in the new one and have people ration out there diamonds and wait 3HOURS OR MORE for a chest to freaking open it’s going to make some people mad. I know it’s hard making money these days when a new fresh game mechanic works for a game company you gotta take advantage but dude I wanna keep playing without a wait limit in order to advance (and I know what your gonna say “just do adventure and grind a little bit how muh boi!?!?? When air time only give you 1-2coin a second in the air?!? I mean I’m patient my dude but not that patient!!!!!!! Anyways other than that its fine, i don’t expect you to make it exactly like the first but with better graphics, I just don’t want to grind for a crazy amount of time that I slowly lose interest in the game.

This is a very good game but there are a few things that could make it better 1 is how in adventure mode you have to use tickets for the moon however every other adventure course you don’t it makes me play moon less because I like it but when I use tickets I have to wait 24 hours to get only 2 more I could spend 50 gems but that is to much and two there should be a moon cup at least one so you can actually use the moonlander for a cup because it slow but thrusters on moon would make people want it more and also I think thrusters should take less fuel to use they take SO much in the first hill climb racing they were actually good they made you fly in normal gravity and you could use them longer because of the short time of use in hill Climb Racing 2 it is only good to use on moon but then you have to use lots of coins to upgrade them so they good unless on moonlander which I think is a waste also there should be 1v1 or 2v2 races in teams or against friends like in other games such as clash Royale or clash of clans lastly I like the new double coin idea but if you put it in the vip subscription or premium pass more people might buy them if you read this thanks hope you consider what I said if you do u will give you 5 stars. 🦈

It used to be really fun racing and I enjoy the distance challenges but they seem focused on gimmicks now between obstacles and putting crap in the way instead of fun fast racing. Between team tickets, chests, challenge tickets, and I’d assume more to come; they keep finding ways to try to get you back on every couple hours likely because they get income from you watching commercials. Recently team mode showed promise but they place heavy limitations on what you can use and resort to gimmicks here too. For example, right now we can only use bikes so you have to use a scooter or dirt bike to try to jump over antennas on the moon where you’re generally just going to die most times. Later you’re kicking a giant soccer ball that often bounces behind you ending the round. Currently I’m in first place in the challenge and rather than having fun getting to that rank it was simply an exercise in frustration. It makes you feel like you wasted two years getting and fully upgrading all the vehicles to be forced to use crappy ones on obstacle course based levels. Perhaps they’re trying to market the game heavily towards very young children with all the silliness. I likely will be looking for a different game to play which is sad because between this and previously HCR1 I’ve remained loyal for half a decade.

I would give this game a 5 star rating, it is actually a 5 star quality game but when it comes to putting time into it especially when paying for virtual accessories it can be costly if you are not careful, it’s actually pretty ridiculous at times. When you purchase a certain package bundle for $20 and a few days later there is another bundle of the same thing for the same price, now who wants to buy the same thing for the same vehicle twice? I understand rarity items but come on! I purchased Daily VIP for $9.99, it’s almost worth it but it’s kind of a ripoff, you are suppose to get a prize every 24 hours but if you don’t claim them rite on time it’s pretty much a waste because the 24 hour cycle restarts when you claim the prize. Let’s just say you claim your prize every morning at 10:00, well one day you didn’t Claim your VIP Chest until 1:00 PM, now you have to wait 24 Hours, even if you didn’t claim it for 3 days, you are wasting money spent. Other than these ripoffs, it’s a fun game but most Virtual items are a waste of money anyways, fingersoft should appreciate their paying customers a little more.

I’ve had HCR2 for over a year. I’ve even purchased a few packages on the game to get cars, tractors and space machines when they have come out. I enjoy playing the game and racing against three other racers. I just wished there was more content for a game that has been out so long. The same races get recycled day after day and become very monotonous. For awhile I lost interest until they finally brought out a new vehicle and some new maps to race. When they do bring out new vehicles through, it is extremely expensive to upgrade the vehicles as gem packages are very costly and so you must wait on the right packages to get gems included at a decent price. I would like to see the store offer multiple packages of vehicles and gems in different price ranges, not just one at a time. A few more maps could be released quicker to break up the same old recycling problem. But all in all, if you download HCR2, you’ll have hours and hours of fun racing and jumping and flipping. Just know, to max a vehicle, you’ll be spending money or taking literal years to upgrade completely.

To Fingersoft, if they read these.
Although you guys took a step in the right direction when you added tasks in adventure mode, the rewards you're given are simply not enough. For me to complete the average task that I get, i have to invest at least 15 minutes into trying, getting far, dying, retrying, etc... For example, it took me 25 minutes to get 4300 meters on Winter, which is an average type task I have. However, the rewards I recieved were nowhere near worth the time I put into it. Basically this has resulted in me just ignoring adventure mode entirely, because, compared to cups--where i can spend 3 mins on, say, countryside cup with the promise of at least a common chest-- this rather well developed feature just ends up as a waste of my time. So one suggestion is maybe to include larger rewards for tasks that take longer to fulfill. Adventure is where Hill Climb Racing originates, so it's kinda sad to see it so pointless.
Other than that, this game is amazing and wonderful job.

Game is awesome like always! :) but...You guys got rid of Daily friends challenge with the new update. The Weekley friends one is fun but it takes to long to reset and if some people are slower with certain vehicles they have to wait to long for a new race. The daily gave us all a chance for a new challenging friends race every day. PLEASE bring it back! Also... at some point try to find a way we can challenge a friend or 2 or more to a live friends race at our choosing. Also give out some prize like a good chest for winning a friends daily or weekley challenge maybe. One more thing.. come out with a new vehicle maybe once or twice a year. Keeps it interesting and people stay and don’t get bored especially those that have everything upgraded fully or close :) from talking to people on my team and other players Those requests will actually keep people playing more and sticking with the game which is good for Fingersoft $ and for the players. Thanks! :)

Hi! I love Hill Climb 2. It’s 1 of my favorite games. You get to change your avatar compete with others, and it has very cool cars not going to lie! I’ve been playing Hill Climb 2 forever, since probably 2015? It’s been very fun playing! There is a few problems that I want the Developer to add. Could you add updates? I’ve unlocked all the cars from 1 year ago, please add some cars and more Landscapes. I would appreciate this! Tysm! And ya’ll probably hate it from adds. Look this game doesn’t need internet access, just put on the airplane mode on and there won’t be adds I do it every day I play this game. So stop with the hate reviews and listen to the review. If you are a car fan buy this. As I said you get to do very fun epic things. Even I am 15 years old I still play this. :))
Also there are VIP’s. This is my personal opinion from this game, If you don’t agree keep it to your self. Developers please add the things I said or others and keep working hard! ily this game!! ✨✨
Epic game! Thank You for your cooperation. And keep working hard as you should! 💪💪

I loved the first Hill Climb Racing. it was awesome. but then it got old; i was getting everything maxed out (hint: the hot rod is the best car). then i found HillClimbRacing2, and loved it. it brings in so many more elements to hill climb racing and makes the game so much more enjoyable. i have like 20 other apps and this one is the one i play the most. but honestly, the bosses might be a little bit goo hard. i get it, the whole point of having a boss is because it’s, well, a boss. but it took me sooo long to just beat the sunday champion that it made me consider asking other ppl for help. one more thing, it’s also kind of clear which vehicles are the best. the dune buggy, monster truck, racer motorcycle, rally car, and the hill climber Mk 2. maybe if the devs could tone those vehicles down a little bit it would make the game a bit more fair for unexpecting players? other than that, the game is awesome. so i give it four stars out of five, just because of those two issues.

I have been playing daily for almost a year. Never gets old. Level up progress is gradual but steady and enjoyable. You can always level up faster many spending dough, but if you are patient you will get there. The variety is good enough to give you some play options, but in a way all game modes, from Adventure to Racing to Events all feel substantial and necessary and add to the enjoyment of the game. You do not feel like any of them are arbitrary. Also each upgrade truest feels like it is improving the performance of your vehicle and almost every vehicle feels and handles differently than the next. This is also a game of skill and not just holding the throttle down to win. You have to learn the maps and handling characteristics of each vehicle and the upgrade parts to get the best results and all of it feels organic and is easy to learn just from use over time. The game is still fun after a year and is highly recommended.

The reasons why I give this game a 5 star is because it stay to the original pretty well better than a few games I know, and the graphics look good and the new vehicles are good as well and the events are ok if you have the time to participate but there’s a few problems that kinda need to be fixed. The grind is not that bad in comparison to different games but for new people it’s hard because you got people who spent more time upgrading a car to the max and finding god like modifications to a car and starts destroying everyone in the race when you just got finished beating the beginner bots , making you get more in game currency using real money to upgrade you car to go faster. Causing this cycle go on and on until a lot a people start to quit making the “pros” go against each other spending a lot of money to be the fastest making the real pros become more intense leaving the game to be known as a game for pros the same thing happened to call of duty, fortnight, pubg , war thunder and more

Fingersoft, why I can't connect to my old ACC name OUT YT_UP, I accidentally logout, pls help me, this ACC have 6k gp, I lose it😭😭
