MMX Hill Dash 2 - Race Offroad Reviews

It’s nice they redid this and came up with some new features, but what handcuffed the original version is exactly what makes this version just more of the same. Skill/ability does not factor in this game as much as it should. If you aren’t going to buy your way into qualified vehicles/upgrades, your forced to replay the sales levels over and over again inching slightly farther than your last dozen attempts as you inch your way up the upgrade ranks to finally beat the levels. You can’t beat the higher up levels unless you upgrade the vehicles to comparable levels which take skill and ability out of the equation, so your forced to replay the same track over and over and over again nickel and diming your way through the upgrade component to finally complete the track. It’s the same problem that existed with the first game only now there’s more chances to spend your real money with a multiplayer component, but even with that it’s the dreaded fuel usage issues with games that require you to either pay for fuel just to play, or wait 2 hours for your fuel to refill to race one more time. A lot of potential, just not executed with the player in mind.

I play the original version of this game and feel as though it may still be superior to the second installment due to the fact that upgrading vehicle types to their next tier are now a chance game. Where as before it came down to how much did you want to play. The micro transactions were still there if you did not want to grind out the time ( which I did in some cases) but honestly this new version feels like a greedy cash grab over the quality of gameplay I’ve come to love from this developer. Can it be fixed? Probably, will they? Who knows, the game potential is there, but we’ll just have to see where the game direction ends up.

Update: sadly the game did not live up to its predecessor. It’s all mostly locked away behind pay walls and chance. I had such high hopes for this game and even reached out to the developer trying to understand why they would willingly ruin such a great IP. Unfortunately all I got back was some lame excuse of player choice and “new and interesting dynamics” which really translates to “ the first was so great and we made lots of money, we just want more!” I’ve since deleted MMXHillDash2 with much regret and disappointment in what’s become MMX. Better luck next time and hopefully they learn from their mistakes.

It’s very fun in the first 5 levels but after that it just get’s very hard. Once you hit higher up levels it takes sooooooooo long just to get a angle upgrade, and the upgrade barely effects the vehicle at all. Plus in most levels you have to beat a certain time just to unlock a certain car or just to get the next level and not to mention that the time to beat is insanely hard. Also a lot of vehicles are only designed for one type of terrain and there’s only about three levels that vehicle can be used on and you almost have to fully upgrade the vehicle just to finish those levels just to never be able to use that vehicle again and have to start the whole process of upgrading over again. But other than that I had a lot of fun in the first part of the game and I liked the graphics and mechanics of the game. Also the car customization system was pretty sweet with a lot of designs to choose from. All in all it is a decent game but could definitely be better.

i was playing Hill Climb Racing 2, until this game came out. awesome graphic, but the flipping of cars was horrible. It was the same in Hill Climb Racer 2 until I upgraded the cars. i figured it would be the same in this game. Not true. I have my monster truck fully upgraded at the first level and now it is completely unplayable. all it does is want to do is wheelie and flip especially in the mud going uphill on course 7 after the jump. i actually try tapping repeatedly to get my speed up which semi works on pavement, but not at all in the mud. Now all I do is log in everyday to get the bonus event Highway Wealth to get my prestige currency, so I can upgrade to the Monster GT. This is just stupid. A fully upgraded vehicle should not flip hitting the gas. It would be an awesome game if you fixed you’re physics and added more content. i have exactly 8 courses unlocked and only the starting micro vehicle, and the monster truck. So lame and boring!!! if you could combine the gameplay, content, and physics of Hill Climb Racer 2 with the graphics of this game, it would be an absolutely awesome game. Please hire their programmers. I want that end product and would then pay money for your IAPs.

The only thing this game has going for it are the visuals. Otherwise, it is boring and grindy to play. There are no rewards for doing flips, and the coins that are available on the tracks are often placed in such a way that you either can't get to them or will miss them. The highway to wealth is a stupid gambling game that doesn't even work properly: I would choose one card and the one next to it would be the one that is revealed. Instead of this why couldn't you try making highway to wealth something that was actually REWARDING to play, by for example making it an adventure mode where the further you got, the more difficult the road would get with the rewards getting better the further you went. There are tons of bugs, like the ghosts your race against floating above the track. Ads are played way too often and are unskippable; there are "rewards" you can get by watching more of them. I'm not even going to get started on the multiplayer mode. Don't waste your time on this game and definitely don't waste your money on it either.

This is one of my go to games and I play it everytime I’m bored. That being said I blew through all of the campaign levels in a couple of days and would love to see some new levels and cars added. Also prestige points are ridiculously hard to come by and they should be available in the store. It would be cool if something like crates were added that you can be rewarded with for beating every five levels or so. This would make it easier to upgrade cars and prestige them which is nearly impossible unless you blow through gems to get really far into the highway to wealth. It would also be cool if I could challenge my friends to live race me via Bluetooth or WiFi! Overall great game and can’t wait to see some new features.

I do like this game, but I have several problems with it. One: there is now a second special currency, and while you can’t buy it for real money, it is hard to obtain.
Two: My old favorite cars are gone. The new Micro looks like a dollar store rip-off Jeep, the Monster is now and old truck(happily they kept the “old car theme”), the tank looks like it’s been hit on the head with a wrecking ball, the Racer.....wel the racer looks pretty nice now, but then......The APC. Oh sweet baby Jesus what happened? It is clearly supposed to be the APC (both are 6 wheeled troop carriers), but now it looks like a fish that’s been run over! Change the names so the cars we loved dont look fugly, or keep the names, but add a toggle switch that gives you “legacy shells”. This would be in the settings and would change the Micro, Monster, Tank, and Amphibian back to their original body’s. I want to see the old vehicles again.

I have many issues with this game.

1. Your friends list have their “best times”, but it doesn’t make sense. On one stage you have to beat it in 1:10 to proceed to the next stage. No one on your friends list has that time or lower as their personal best. But they have times for the next stage? How can they have a time for the stage if they didn’t pass the last one?

2. The physics are just insanely stupid! You tap the gas and you’re doing a wheelie, tap the brakes and your vehicle quickly lifts its rear end trying to flip over. Makes no sense what so ever.

3. Your vehicle bounces for no reason what so ever! Your shocks will send you flying in the air. You can be going slower than your opponent and still jump 2 times higher than the other person. Again, this crap makes no sense!

4. The further along you go the more ads you will receive. At first you will get an ad every 3-5 runs. After stage 10 you will have an ad after every single run.

5. Your opponent is not a real one. It is computer created, but they will claim it’s your friends run. You can clearly see this by #1 complaint, and by watching their vehicles. They will float across the map and their tires won’t actually touch the ground at any point.

Waste of time for an app.

PS, the developer responds to any negative feedback, but ignores the users who give them positive feedback. 😂 talking about taking a crap on your loyal fan base.

This game is very satisfying to play and challenging enough to require input, making it a fantastic game to keep you hooked. Unfortunately, the amount of “grinding” you have to do to upgrade your vehicles by far supersedes the exploration involved. You end up having to redo the same levels constantly just to earn enough to go further, and that starts to become tedious. I would say that if the GT and SX truck models were an upgrade rather than a replacement, it would help balance the scales. A randomly-generated infinite grinding level or higher coin value/quantity as well could even the game out almost entirely. Otherwise, it was fun to play and lasts a decent period of time compared to many mobile games, and I can’t wait for more levels or a next game.

I love this game. First of all, the gameplay and graphics are excellent. The game rarely lags and gives the player a great experience. Second of all, the game doesn’t shove micro-transactions down your throat. The majority of mobile games, it seems, want you desperately to pay them money. There is no limit as to how many times you can play in a day, and theres no pay-to-win type stuff. Lastly, but most importantly, the ads are not every single time you play. Sure, I understand that in a free game ads are necessary, but it gets excessive when every time you play theres an ad. There is the occasional ad, but thats expected. Overall, this game is amazing. 5 stars.

You developers make this game sounds so great how fun it is you should be ashamed of yourselves it’s a disgrace !!! This game is nothing but click bait, Another app developer that’s greedy greedy pigs that take a vantage of the younger kids it’s funny 36,000 diamonds which is $9.99 to upgrade to another vehicle really !!!! The upgrades are a total joke upgrade your stability, grip, power, it’s all BS and it doesn’t do anything Even with stability and grip maxed out the vehicle still bounces around like if it was never upgraded in the first place !!!

The game is unplayable is boring and if you’re not spending money trying to get to another vehicle will take forever !!!! There’s plenty of free games in MMXHillDash2 Store that are better than this, before I give you $9.99 I’ll go spend it on the game that’s worth spending my money on instead of this click bait game. Here’s what you get for asking me for $9.99 You get a recommendation to my 30 friends not the play your crappy game and on top of that,,,,,, uninstalled !!!

This game can be lots of fun and very addicting. But it gets frustrating to play when you constantly have to close it out and start over. Most of the time videos only load half of the time, but today I’ve only got one video to load. When a video won’t load your only option is to close MMXHillDash2 and start over. Sometimes after a race none of the buttons will have any response, so once again you have to close it out.

On a side note I have an iPhone XR. I don’t know if that’s causing some problems but since the phone has been out for over 6 months now, I would think they could’ve ironed that out.

Looking at the update dates, I see they updated 2 weeks ago and before that it was months before an update was released. They haven’t added any new cars or tracks in 7 or 8 months, so maybe they’re giving up on MMXHillDash2?

This game is great! and the physics (despite being a little loose with gravity) actually make it quite a bit challenging but not unfair. The best thing though, by far, is that the upgrades you choose to unlock with the in-game "currency" or tokens are instant! There is no stupid tiers of chests and upgrades that you have to wait 24+ hours to use. Also, every level provides alot of the upgrade tokens so you're not pressured into buying them to get good stuff. It does have ads that pop up occasionally but they are infrequent and can be closed in 5 seconds. So I highly recommend this game because it's a lot of fun and doesn't follow the typical app store games tropes

The game is fun, yeah it’s a serious grind or you can pay to advance faster I guess. The reason of my rating is you get good rewards for accepting to watch advertisements and I watch them all to get diamonds BUT every once in a while you get hit with a forced advertisement....like why is that even a thing if others volunteer to watch ads. I’m deleting this game because after witnessing that I see this company only cares about money over their customers.

Update: I like how responsive the developers are and how they try solve everyone’s issues. Good to know a purchase would disable ads as some games not by this developer will continue to show ads after purchase. Thank you!

I play this game constantly. It’s really fun! I spent the 2.99 to remove the ads. To me the game is definitely worth that. Lots of levels, that take time master. Definitely challenging, but all the unlocks are possible. It probably took me 100 try’s to unlock the quad bike. But upgrade as you go and soon you’ll be fast enough to get it. I wish it was easier to see where to invite friend s, and transfer my progress from my iPad too my phone and vise versa. Also sometimes the throttle button sticks and glitches. That’s frustrating. But overall very fun game!

Honestly I hated the first game, but when I saw the sequel, I was curious to see what changes they made. It’s rather impressive that they managed to release a whole new game and implement zero improvements whatsoever. It is just as poorly made and optimized as the first, and the physics are flat out broken. You can perfectly mirror your ghost in a race and yet sometimes you’ll just randomly tilt more than before and flip over. Second, the vehicles are more wobbly than a ball of flubber. Finally, the tracks aren’t built to challenge you. They are simply built to annoy you. I wouldn’t be surprised if this review gets deleted by the developer, but to all who read this: do not download this game! If you like hill climb racing games, jump over to the Fingersoft games Hill Clim Racing and Hill Climb Racing 2. Excellence all around in those games and you don’t have to spend a single penny to progress at a decent rate. Stay away from this garbage!

For some reason I can’t edit my previous review - maybe because the dev responded to it? I don’t know, but it makes me cranky, because it was a pretty long review, and a lot of it remains relevant.

Anyway, level design is better than the original, and is a fair bit less fiddly. There’s still a glitch here and there, but they’ve really cleaned up a lot of the bugs that used to infuriate. I don’t really understand the competitive races - presumably someone else is racing against my own performance sometimes, but there’s no awareness of it. Neither is it clear that there’s any advantage to doing well in the competition besides personal satisfaction. Regardless, it’s quite a worthwhile game, probably the best of class.

When are game companies going to realize that the fastest way to get people to delete apps is by having forced adds after almost every single stage. Followed by a banner page advertising MMXHillDash2 that you just watched. And having the countdown timer to let you know when the ad is going to end on the one side and then the X to close the add moves to a different corner where you can close it. Every time I see this in the game I get so board a delete a game within a day. You do have an upgraded system in the game. That is the perfect time to allow people the choice to view adds if they want a free upgrade. And paying for an add free game means add free. You’re still going to get the ads on the upgrades. And that is where you want to see them. But I’m not going to pay for ad free game if I know I’m still going to view ads in the upgrade screen. Game deleted moving on.

Upgrading the Stability actually makes the car worse. I upgraded the stability of the Supercar and now that thing catches wind and flips over like it’s made of paper. It absolutely made the car worse. Upgrading the stability did the complete opposite. I was running the first course just to gain upgrade tokens and saved stability for last. I was running the course perfectly fine. Then I started on stability and the car started doing horrible. I was catching so much air that it made it nearly impossible to stay on the ground. I can’t even come close to my high score that I did without the stability upgrades now.

Hitting the brakes while in the air is only supposed to change your angle according to the game. This is not true. You do actually slow down in the middle of the air if you hit the breaks. You don’t just angle back. You actually slow down.

Canyon 6 bridges at the end are ridiculous. They are so buggy. I hit them and half the time they just bounce me back and stay up. Sometimes they bounce me back and then fall randomly.

There is also some sort of bug on Canyon 6 when you are about do the long jump. Sometimes it will hit some random thing that isn’t there and you just fall off the edge.

I played the previous one, it was very fun and enjoyable, but this game is very irritating and hard, for example, Level 9, I had to upgrade the car TO THE MAX, and still took me 2 days to be able to open level 10, and it’s almost impossible to get prestige points, and on level 11, there is a glitch on around 75-85 meters, the card crashes in the ground and stops even though the nose of the car is lifted.

Also, multiplayer is based on how many gems you buy, because you can’t refuel for god knows how many hours, and you have to pay to keep playing, and the problem is the rewards are so bad that you just end up buying more gems “just to play” than actually getting some.

All in all,

1: the game is too difficult to keep progressing.

2: pay to win is a very unauthentic way to base. your game on, especially that you still have a ton of ads that benefits the developers.

3: there are some glitches in the game.

4: reward system is impossible, you have to pay tons of gems on High way to wealth, and still get a tiny amount of rewards, aaand you still have to wait 8 hours between every HWW you do.

I used to be a huge fan of this game, but this is ridiculous...
