Beach Buggy Racing 2 Reviews

Dang!! Talk about you have to pay to play. When it comes to Micro transactions you have two options and that is give a crap load your time or give a crap load of your money. Right from the start the game teases you with a easy difficultly for a couple of races then cranks the difficultly level up to the MAX!! Enjoy coming in 3rd or last place because being in 1st is almost impossible unless of course you pay to stay in 1st place.

The ranking system makes no sense and leveling up take way to long with very little reward. To add to the ranking system why would it make since to play with people/A.I that have a higher rank than you. Your already put in an unfair advantage and the AI makes sure to keep you at an unfair advantage. Once your in 1st the AI makes sure to unleash fire and brimstone upon you making staying in 1st very hard. Also you can have the fastest car and still you will not be able to catch up to the computer once they have a big lead on you.

Straight to the point in my opinion to enjoy these game you have to pay to win. Paying to get rid of ads I'm for but paying to cheat your way to 1st I'm not for. My two cents is if your trying to entice people to pay money by making the game harder then do not make the game free.

Well I totally love this game, and I have been playing this game for a very long time I played the first one before the 2 was invented, and I can say there’s more upgrade and differences, I love the features, but what I don’t like is the adds, they are becoming more annoying, we can possibly play the game without adds, and if you must there much be an adds you should reduce the time, 30secs is a lot, add I would like the developer to add new driver character, like someone suggested, probably a penguin, lizard or crocodile, I’m just suggesting, and also the arena, instead of changing the direction of the road to the other side, why not create a new arena, and also why is that some people in the same stage as you are unlocking some power ups and you can’t unlock them?? Please I need a response and I would like to address this, you can possibly make this game more fun this festive season, or any other times we are having a celebration around the world, create a tournament whereby people earn real money, please I know some people are playing this game everyday, it would be very interesting to earn real money from there, please I need a response on this…. Thank you for creating this beautiful game, we appreciate the developer for their great effort behind this game.

Can understand making coins harder to acquire, to encourage the purchasing of coins and have no problem living with that, if the developers would leave the power ups and how the cars react to them alone! Every time a forced upgrade happens, the game suffers. Very frustrating… please take game back to pre-Halloween 2021………………….(((((((DEVELOPERS response of “power up upgrades are to make them more fairer” is total RUBBISH!! If we all get the same power ups and exact usage of those power ups, then it is fair for all, no matter the behavior of power ups!!!)))))) DEVELOPERS…. GET REAL!! No-one with common sense will believe and accept y’alls lame explanation!! All us old timers HATE the power up changes and the game’s drop in ratings and player’s complaints should cause the developers to want to make the majority of their players happy!! Here’s a novel idea, change it back to pre-Halloween 2021 power ups and if players complain in greater numbers than currently, developers will then have reason to re-update power ups. Like so many others, I loved this game but now hate it and although it pains me greatly, if the power ups are not reset, in the next few months, to reflect pre-Halloween 2021, I will stop playing and completely delete BeachBuggyRacing2 !!

P.S…. By changing the ball & chain power up, as well as a few others, you, the developers have considerably reduced the need for players to have skills in accordance to their level.

This game used to be fun. Unfortunately, as you level up, you get blown up or frozen by lightning way too much. To the point that you rarely can finish in the top 3. Regardless, of which car you have, the other cars can shove you around any time they want. Including, causing you to go off the track and die. The toilet and candy cane cars should not be able to take the big trucks out so easily. Each level up is supposed to improve your car stats, but that stopped on or before level 12. Amazingly, during races your car will drift at the last second to miss a power up. Or your car will go between two power ups so that you don’t get either. Too frustrating to bother with anymore. If I don’t here that these issues a being addressed immediately, I will just delete it!

Deleting app. No response to my review. Just getting worse. The “balance” attempt on the power ups was bad, but the inability to get many power ups during a game due to being blown up or another driver coming out of nowhere to take the one you are on, is ridiculously stupid. Terrible changes over time.

I’ve been playing this game forever. Been level 13 forever until the update. Was a super fun game to pass the time. I personally play it because it’s somewhat mindless and with the hopes of lapping someone one day, and not to be competitive. The major update really ruined it for me. They took away tracks that were already earned and now have to re earn them through progression, which already takes a crazy long time. The slot blocking really is a bummer. Because of this it takes longer to finish races, which makes it longer to level up. Today I logged in just like every other day to see that all my power ups that I spent two years leveling up are now incredibly reduced in how long they are active. Money put into coins to get the longer buff times are completely wasted. I’ve never seen a game be completely ruined by updates, and they did it with back to back updates. After the reduced time in this update I will no longer be playing. So much taken away from players that put a lot of time into the game. Such a bummer because this was a great feel good time killing game. I have never left a negative review for anything in my life and I hope to change it if they adjust these terrible decisions.

I am just writing a review to get everything off my chest because it is a big pain not being able to yell in my house. But what makes it worse is that my sister is always on my case never minding her own business. Anyway, this game is great in all but the one thing that made me hate this game a lot was the challenges. When you lose against a character your willing to unlock, the character is all like “ooh woopty doo! I won!” Instead of just like a “good game”, or “better luck next time”. And if you want a rematch, rip 15 gems. Unless you want to wait. I don’t like waiting. I like this game all together, but that one feature ruins the entire game for me. Like in the original, I want to be able to go against the character anytime. (Also another thing I hate: why can’t you use every power up instead of picking 8 ones to use for every match? Shouldn’t all of them be available like in the original?) so, this game is incredible, but those two features make the game trash. I was glad to see new features including everything from the original, but when I realized these two features, the game became pretty sad.

Ok so I like the new update and the new customization but a few things… 1. You have to now watch a lot more ads to unlock crates. I don’t like it, it wastes a lot more of your time to unlock one. I hate the 30 second ads. And now they show the same ads over and over and more forced ads, stop trying to force us to watch the same ads over and over again. Stop trying to make as much money as possible and make people like your app Vector Unit! 2. The cars and drivers now cost real money, you can’t unlock them with gems anymore. I don’t feel like wasting money on the limited edition cars or the drivers. Also in the Hot Wheels update you need money for the Hot Wheels cars. I know they are free in the events but only in Rank 1. It would be better if you changed it so you could get the Hot Wheels cars in Rank 1 - Rank 5. You also can’t unlock the cars from the daily challenges anymore. 3. You changed the ways the cars respawn, now they respawn where they got shot by the opponent. I don’t like it, it’s basically cheating. 4. They changed the power up behaviors and now we need a lot more coins to upgrade the power ups. And also we have to wait until the power ups are finished until getting the next power up. Please give me a developer response to my rating.

We are sorry about this. We will fix this in the next update. We hope you will get used to the changes. - From Vector Unit

There are some great new tracks but the game gets dragged down by the change in how the cars handle and the changes with the power ups. How cars handled in the first game was easy to grasp. These cars can lose control easy and then the game corrects you and you lose whatever power you were using. Other times, it won’t self correct you at all when it could be helpful. The power ups are fewer between and take longer before you can use them. That being said, your opponents seem to be able to attack at will often. This often leads to your going from first to back in the pack mere moments before you would have won. I have had four powers hit me simultaneously before finally getting blasted for good. Shields have been weakened considerably. Not much difference between having them up or not at times. A good hit with shields up can still send you flying high while others pass you by. Lastly, it doesn’t seem as if opponents of the same level are paired up with one another. Please get rid of the pick pocket power. Powers you just got get stolen before you even know what they were, or stolen right as you were pressing to use them.

don't get me wrong you can play this game without spending any money, but this game wants you very badly to spend the money. There's countless abilities, vehicles and characters to pick from. The characters can technically be unlocked by defeating them in races and earning a racer card. Collect the required cards for that character and they are now yours. Every so often the chance to race one of these characters appears on the main screen but they really want you to spend the cash to challenge them quicker. To earn a new car you can also do the daily challenges and possibly win one by spinning the prize wheel which also has prizes ranging from unlockable special car colors and decals to coins. Which are only used to power up abilities, and they're so many. In fact what makes this game even more "challenging" is the amount of abilities and their similarities. It's hard to not draw comparisons to MK, but it's like the devs thought if they make repetitive abilities then surely your gear is lacking and maybe if you spend money you can be better. But in actuality to remain in first place is totally up to chance and not any type of driving skill. The game is frustrating, fun, playable without paying but it's just gonna constantly remind you to cough up the dough.

I love the game, it could be addicting sometimes but there are some elements of this game that should be checked out.
For example, the shield doesn’t shield from every power-up. I’m sure the creators of this game knew this would be an issue but still implanted it in the game. I don’t know why they did this, but if I have a shield, I shouldn’t be hit with the power up that has the 4 heads on the screen and I can’t see where I’m going. It doesn’t make sense. I have a shield I should be protected at all times. Second, ITS 2020, I should be able to play my friends via multiplayer. You know how much fun we’ll have. Since you guys don’t have multiplayer, they way we race against each other is we start the game at the same time, and see who finishes there race off first. We need to be able to ADD FRIENDS and Challenge them. Third, I feel like it takes a month to level up. I know you have to earn your way up but sheesh. Lastly, even after the update, when I hit a opponent with a power up they still res pawn in front of me which makes no sense, as well, sometimes during the gameplay my car goes backward.

Everything about this game, is perfect, aside from a couple of notable things. The elephant, in the room, is the cheating. The BLATANT cheating. I’ve been playing this game, for awhile, and, when I changed my phone, I had issues, trying to retain my old Apple ID, so, I made a new one, resulting in starting this game over, from the beginning. Let me just say, that the developers started the cheating, very early, in the game. It was like, almost immediately, they were trying to figure out ways to sabotage you. You can pretty much predict like when they are coming to get you. Like, if you’re in 1st, by a considerable amount, you can count on getting blown up, by something. If you have 4 shields, I’ve seen them strike you, blow after blow, until all your shields are gone, then they get you. It was never this bad, when I first got the game. At times, it’s downright infuriating to see how blatant and desperate, the cheating is, on this game. You almost want to throw your phone, at times. I would suggest that you tone the cheating, down, for users that may have just found this game. It’s a huge turn-off. I would give this game 5 stars, but the cheating is unforgivable. Still, an awesome game, that you can barely put down.

Cool game. Best racing game in BeachBuggyRacing2 Store. Been playing since they first released it back in 2018, and played the original BBR before that. Also played their hydro racing games. Cars, power ups, accessories and drivers make it fun. The tracks and graphics are amazing. Then why 4 out of 5? Because they refuse to implement difficulty levels. They have journey levels, but that’s just to earn add ons, etc. This is a good group of developers who refuse to put more game play control into the hands of players for reasons I will never understand. I’m sure they have chased away thousands of users due to stubbornness. Age range should be all the way down to the 6 to 8 years but they won’t implement difficulty levels. The racing algorithm becomes onerous after you’ve played so long. Also, you know difficulty level is an issue when the main developer is quitting out of races during live demos. Definitely worth downloading and trying. Maybe they will allow more user control options in the future.

I think everything else about the game is really good, but the computer is really do cheat. It always feels like they get the perfect power at the perfect time. They can use their special ability before you are able to which is not fair. Another thing is the always spam the stupid lightning item they always get it and somehow seems like whenever I have my super really going or I get a speed boost do you always have a lightning item to slow me down last thing I find it really stupid that some of the characters you have to buy or win challenges but it’s still I feel like there should be another way to get them that’s for free right now I would just wanted so the computers are a little easier and that they don’t cheat and it’s more like a human play so again they’re not getting the perfect power up at the perfect time. It’s a little more fair for the people also remove the lightning item all together.

This is a thrilling game with awesome graphics and controls and an abundance of cool cars, characters, and tracks! Also the music is creative and kind of a bop lol. However, in 2021 there was a huge update. It was good for the most part, but there were two really bad things about it. One, you now have to pay for things that used to be free, like certain characters and cars, and the prices are way too high. I’d be fine to pay for a premium version of the game or a permanent package with certain characters and cars, but 9.99 PER CAR/CHARACTER? Nah. The second thing only applies to me, and that’s this: before the update happened, I was a level 12 and had all the cars, characters, and powerups. After the update, my account was reset to when I was a level 5 and I lost over half my progress. I emailed Vector Unit but they haven’t responded and it’s been months. Very frustrating. But this game is still worth playing😁check it out lol

I love this game and it’s fast pace, but I never was a fan of how the developers changed the power up durations! I have re-adjusted my driving accordingly to compensate for it. A couple of power ups I still cannot get past, and it has to do with physics. If you were traveling at a rate of speed towards a certain goal and somebody behind you hit’s you with a Tiki Seeker or a Firework’s just before the finish line, physics tells you that when you hit that object it’s going to push that object forward. Before they change the power ups if somebody hit you from behind just before the goal line, it pushed you over. I would think the developers would realize they had it right before they changed those power ups. Don’t get me wrong I love this game, it’s just somethings kind of stick in your head, that you can’t get rid of.

P.S. oh by the way could you guys update your reviews? You have the same one from three years ago before the upgrade. Also there’s been a lot of new cars added.

Maybe you could possibly make this game playable for Xbox or something you should add in pets pets help when you attack players with power ups maybe add mini games like wack a player you drive over the little players in there cars pets you can add that would be for specific races like penguins maybe if you can add make a map hide and seek battle royal with real people power ups included hunger bar so you have to pick up food to eat it if your on somehow computer space would work on a tv that you can play games on middle button you can choose the rest of the keys you should add creat a car creat a character and if you add make maps I will tell my friends to get this game there is so much more I’ve thought about like adding fortnite edition because fortnite is very popular maybe you can add Minecraft edition on it maybe make it so people can make plugins for BeachBuggyRacing2 I hope you read maybe there can be candy land map pet for that can be gummy bear gummy worm and chocolate bar as common rare as gum drop Loli pop and vinnila ice cream epic as jaw breaker everlasting gob stopper and whithe chocolate last legendary as candy unicorn gummy shark and honey bee hope you were reading hope you can add this please do

Hands down one of the most fantastic mobile kart racers in BeachBuggyRacing2 Store and also an extremely clever twist to basically Mariokart with completely different powerups and controls. In fact, Beach Buggy Racing hardly consumes any battery power for the surprisingly exotic graphics it boasts, not to mention, you can play this game offline with no fuel limits of any kind, basically summarizing how you can spend countless hours racing in this game. The truth is, for those who dislike the aggressive mature of the game, Beach Buggy isn’t much different, race-wise from Mariokart in terms of hammering your foes with projectiles and gunning powerups to win and the ai actually DO target each other in the game (glimpse at the racing status bar at the top and see for yourself when someone’s head other than yours starts flashing). Overall, seriously challenging racing game, but a buggy-racing thrill nonetheless. Highly recommend if you’re up for the challenge.

I love the game. I’ve been playing for a while on and off. I have played the original Beach Buggy, and I’d say I’m pretty good especially considering I’ve only just reached level 13. The characters and cars are all wildly fun and different (such dramatic variation in cars and players is good to see, makes it exiting) but the only thing that even barely starts to bug me are some of the powerups.

• I suggest removing the ball and chain and the pickpocket powerup, or to nerf them. The entire advertisement of powerups, especially in special events like tournaments, is to “craft a strategy.” I can’t do that If I’m constantly at risk of getting one snatched by another player. And the ball and chain is very annoying. It makes you go abysmally slow, and every time someone hits me with it, I intentionally go out of bounds because that would be quicker than just living with it for 15 seconds.

• Another thing is the purchasing options. I should be able to earn every car and character fairly without real-money purchases. I think that should still be an option for those who don’t want to earn them slowly, but I want to be able to earn a cool car without having to pay 5 dollars and actually use skill to acquire it.

Otherwise, the game is incredibly fun and diverse, and I await more maps, characters, and fun events in the future!

I like the graphics, I’m actually pretty good at this game, rarely getting below top 3, and the new tracks are awesome, but you should be able to choose from more than two tracks at a time! Plus where’s free race? I like the better handling compared to the old game, and I like the new power sliding mechanic. I don’t like the fact that it often takes weeks to level up after you have reached levels 5-6. plus you barely get ANYTHING from winning a race. I have a TON of upgrades ready for my power ups but not enough coins to upgrade them. a lot of people accused Nintendo of fake online in Mario kart tour, and THIS game does the exact same thing. We have to be online to even start a race, but all of the racers are cpus? WHY? Why not just add actual online. That being said I like the fact that this game NEVER plays an ad unless you tell it to for things like opening a chest or getting another go at the tournament. Other mobile games just spam their games with ads and it makes the game completely unplayable. This game doesn’t and I like that. Anyways the game is great, but could be better

Without exaggeration BB Racing 2 is the best kart game on mobile. The amount of details developers and designers put into it is unbelievable. As a level 10 player I‘m still amazed when I look around the landscape while driving. I wish in fact it was an open world concept and that you wouldn‘t respawn whenever you drift off the map. Game dynamics is just perfect. As you progress, your opponents progress too, so you need to try a bit harder and in some complicated maps have a bit of luck to get to the 1st place though top 3 is completely doable. The game is not infested with ads - you can choose to watch them and in general you can progress without spending a penny. The game reminds of Crash CTR that I used to play on Play Station many years ago. Perhaps this nostalgic childhood feeling is what also makes me come to BB Racing 2. Thank you everyone who made this game happen!
