Highway Rider Reviews

The old version was better it was more fun and exiting when I was a little kid I was always excited to play it. To unlock characters and motorcycles! It was like my favorite game until this new version came around... 😒 I stopped playing this game when the new update came out it wasn’t fun anymore like it used to be. So I quit the game. And then here I am seeing if they updated the game again but no... they did not update! Devs please bring the old version back when you could fall and break bones. I will start playing again if you please!! Bring back the old version.

So, I used to play this game a lot when I was younger and I just redownloaded it. The new updates and courses are so lame compared to how the game used to be. We could have multiple player races, but the let’s ride was all about driving as far and fast as you can without being hit. There was no time, no end points, no racing levels. I am very dissatisfied with how this game has turned out to be. Where the crashing, the points you get for having broken bones or bleeding out or a cracked skull, going to the police station or the hospital when you crash, talking during your ride say “oh yeah” or “see you later loser” or “laters”, doing more fun things with your bike, all the things that made the game fun is gone. Plus now every time you finish a race you get an add. Before the game used to let you get at least 5 rides in before an add would pop up. Also every time you finish a race you have to exit then go back in to be able to start or find a new race/ride. The game has totally lost what made it so unique and entertaining.

It used to be so cool, the bikes were cool, customization, and the characters but now you took it all away. None of the characters even look cool any more, you took the helmet off of all the ones who even had helmets other than one open face, the ragdoll physics is stiffer, the bikes feel way slower. It used to be fun and you could collect gas caps on any more, buy a new character, customize him/her and have fun but now it’s all a grind for some retarded looking characters and slow bikes. This game was so good 5 years ago and even better 2 years ago but now it’s not even entertaining. I know it sounds dumb but this game had sentimental value to me because I’ve played it since I was little and it was my favorite. Revisiting it was supposed to bring back memories but it didn’t. Please make the game decent again.

I was bored from a long day and remembered this game and how much fun it was when I was younger so I downloaded on my phone and when I started playing it it was completely different pay for stuff and tons of ads you used to crash and you would break bones and it would add up the hospital bill for it and would give cool picture of your guy leaving the hospital to go ride again but now it’s ads and pay for this and bad now I would pay for the old version it was so much better I am gonna go try and download the old version somewhere I really hope the change it back to the old times when it was a cool game and not another game for 5 year olds and a way for the game makers to make money because that’s all it is now is a money game

Just like in some of the other reviews I have read, I too miss the old version of the game. When I was younger me and practically my whole family played this game to see who could get the highest score. Unfortunately the iPad that we played on completely died, and when we got a new one(like 2-3 years later) I forgot about this game. Then we come all the way to where we are now and I have re-downloaded it. Off the rip it looks way different. First off why did they change the default character and motorcycle??? Then why does the character fall the way he does( it’s spread eagle,boring and the only way he falls). Also, what happened to just being able to tap it and your already in the game? Now I gotta go on the map and choose something, and I don’t know which is the regular one if that makes sense. Also they took that little screen that you see after the crash. The one with the nurse and it had two buttons ( play again, and main menu). And it also feels different to play it if you know what I mean. Overall I just need them to make the new version titled highway rider 2 and being back the old version and make that highway rider cas this ain’t it chief this ain’t it at all. I know that I’m not the only one who feels this way. If somehow one of the old developers sees this please respond because I wanna know what the y’all happened to one of my former favorite games.

This game, has been one of my favorites since I was much younger, I broke the iPad I had and finally now that I got a phone that allows HighwayRider , I come back to the franchise, to find that it had been insanely updated. I played it for a bit, and the little cut scenes are gone, the cars are slower, and my favorite skin was gone! The graphics are nearly the same, and if anything they’ve gone down in quality according to my memory. I was disappointed how I couldn’t do missions and other tasks while in normal arcade mode anymore, and that I couldn’t be what I called, “The Runaway Police Officer”.
The game used to be fun, but now the format is weird and it’s become much to easy because there are ways to slowdown. Also, many glitches have shown up for me. I sometimes activate a “rag doll” version of my character so they are all over the screen, also, for me my character tends to have a sever leaning to the right problem so I am unable to go left as quickly as I may go right.
The recent updates have caused the game to lower in fun, quality, and has gotten rid of all childhood memories of playing it.
I hope you understand the frustrations of this. It’s why I support:
BRING THE GAME BACK TO HOW IT WAS!

Okay so I know that this game might not be available to play FOR GRAPHICS but more for Fun. I get that. But it just makes it a lot better when it doesn’t look so... I don’t know garbage? I’m not trying to hate on this game but I’m just telling the truth ;-; i just find it very boring after just 20 minutes because it has nothing extra or makes it stand out. But that’s what you get for downloading things for free I guess. It’s not like I’ll be able to create games soon anyways and I’ll probably won’t get any close to this with creating games till I’m like 20. Idk. But also when you want to play multiplayer in this game it’s Soooooooooooooooooooooooo long to wait. I couldn’t even wait 3 minutes. It took so long. I didn’t bother to wait anyways. I guess this game is there so you aren’t bored? Makes it a lot funner though when it doesn’t look so bad. But at least it’s not laggy.

Ah, Highway Rider. I’ve had it on my phone for years. It survived so many app culls. I spent hours collecting gas caps and unlocking all the riders. Nothing could keep me from riding. So it is with a heavy heart that I finally deleted it. The riders I took forever to unlock? Gone. Where’d they go? Ask the developer. The four roads where I used to log so many long hours riding into the sunset. Where are they? Gone. Where’d they go? Ask the developer. The lack of 30-second, unskippable ads. Where’d that go? Ask the developer. This isn’t the Highway Rider I loved. It’s gone forever, into the sunset. And so, I deem, must I go. While I’ve deleted HighwayRider from my phone, there will always be a Highway Rider-shaped hole where it used to reside in my games folder. But seriously, yeah. It’s just not fun anymore. Just a confusing cash grab, now. Deleted!

The game has changed in good ways and bad ways. The original layout, the crashing animation, amount of broken bones, getting hit by vehicles and the scene after with the biker leaving the hospital were all great moments of the game. It’s all gone and it hurts to see it gone. Only getting two stars because it’s fun but I can’t even earn gas caps in arcade or fugitive mode which hurts. Pathetic to see such a good game fall to pieces. Injuries could go into the millions of dollars because of the amount of bones you could break and how the body would flail in the air. The original biker had his sport bike and helmet and now it’s all gone. Shame to see this game fell off and after that recap I feel like it should be one star but since I loved it in my childhood, two stars is where I’ll leave it.

Many people are saying the same thing.. I agree 100% with them, I also miss the old version. The nostalgia it brings to you is just so nice, the levels, and things about the new version just doesn’t sit right, with me and many others. I miss the old skins, the old bikes, judt the old mechanics of the game like the cop skin and that epic red and white bike. The new mechanics and level system and purchase system isn’t right now you have to do levels and things, I miss it when all you had to do was get a high speed and make gaskets, now you have to do all sorts of things, just for one skin and I bet that doesn't sit right with many people. I’ve seen many games get taken down on HighwayRider store due to reviews and game quality, please do not go down that road and start listening to the community.
For a start if you developers don’t want to throw the new update/mechanics away, make 2 games like temple run, one with new mechanics and style, and revert this one back to the old system, or perhaps make a classic game mode, and a new game mode, classic will be old mechanics, new will be new stuff, just please if you do that make sure to bring back the old bikes, mechanics, and skins. Thank you advance, and thanks for reading.

I like this game but they should just keep the old version. The old version had more characters and bikes and the rag doll physics were really funny when you crashed and seeing how much the hospital bill was. I don’t like that they added the traffic lights to it I liked it better when it was just the highway I really wish the developers of the game would bring the old version where everything was like it was when it first started.

It is a very fun and challenging game. I am nine years old and am writing this. I say that it is an amazingly fun way to play with motorcycles and to just simply have fun. My little brother, always says, “Sissy! Sissy! Let’s play Highway Rider!” He loves to play and I love to play with him. But there are some bad things about it to... You can get very frustrated with the game if you are new and there is lots, and lots of blood. Whenever you bump into something, it’s either a close call, or medical expenses. The medical expenses are free, never have to pay, but your always constantly breaking bones! It can be a bad example to little kids. But other than that, it’s and ok game.

I have been playing this game for a long time, and all I can say is, wow. You guys remodeled all of the vehicles that you can hit, and added new vehicles. But, originally before the vehicle remodel, you could get ran over by trucks and other cars when you get launched from your bike, but now you go under it and through it like it is nothing, and it is a semi truck. But overall the game is good and the graphics are nice. Just needs a little tweaking, but the game is fast paced and addicting. I recommend this game if you like to move your device to dodge obstacles instead of swiping and possibly messing up your fingers by jabbing at the screen.

I played this a long time ago. I came back for nostalgia, and I did get some, but not as much as I was hoping. Before, it used to be a fun game to play to just chill and have fun. Now it has levels, and you have to upgrade your motorcycle. You used to just be able to customize your bike and character freely and there weren’t levels. The thing I missed the most was what happened after you die. You fall on the floor, you see which bones broke, and you get the money for it, and then the little picture of your guy coming out of the hospital.
I really do miss it.

I’m in my 50’s and just starting to play video games again. The last “system” I mastered was the “Atari 2600.” That being said, the graphics on some of today’s games are more like you’re controlling a character in a movie! Just blows my mind how realistic some of them are. Fortunately this game doesn’t seem to have that effect on me. In other words I’m saying the graphics could be a bit better, and the control of the bikes are a little slow. Otherwise this game will keep you entertained and having fun. Keep it right side up and avoid the road rash!

Honestly, this game is fine. I downloaded it because I used to play the original a long time ago. I wanted to download it again because it was pretty fun but it looks like they updated it. I miss the original. My suggestion is that they can keep this version, just please make a new app called something like “Highway Rider Classic” or something along those lines and put the original on there. That would be pretty cool.

The game is awesome and you can see some funny ragdolls when you’re on full speed and crash! 👍

I like the personality of all the characters. They’re all wild and go on crazy rides! I mastered the game so I can go through traffic and emote on those slow suckers on the highway as I fly.

This is a fun game when you challenge yourself. If you are having troubles, just keep doing close calls and score perfect every time. It helps!

I have been playing this game for years and it’s really fun. But I think it needs updates because there aren’t a lot of updates going on on this game. The reason why it needs updates is that it lags so much and makes my crash into something while playing. Also the controls are a little too fast that it makes it so I crash right when I start playing. Please fix the lag because it’s really annoying.

P.S. Keep up the great work!

It’s a awesome game. I played it for eight or nine minutes and I love the game the crashing is pretty cool. I want to know what you think about the game how do you think about it read a review like I am. And have a awesome time playing this game this is my favorite game I don’t know how you or I will stop playing. I don’t know what I can do without this game this is the best game in the world. I know I said this before but I cannot stop playing a player in the morning I play at night before I go to bed. I don’t know how to explain this but it is too much fun too much fun. I do not know how high and you perhaps will not stop playing this game it is too much fun no one can stop playing this game no one can resist it. How about you do you think this game is fun what do you review back and I will be happy with that thank you for the game thank you creator for making this awesome and very very cool game. Capital a friend who does not like games and is a very cool kid☺️☺️😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

I love this game. So fun and addicting. I really like that it tells you what bones you broke and the estimated medical cost. That’s a really neat feature, but I would love if you added more like maybe hands, ribs, or feet bones. Definitely ribs. I would love, and this is a must have, a coastline map choice. Like riding alongside the beach and boardwalk on your left and then small beach houses on the right. Maybe an out west American map. Also hills or curves would be a cool obstacle. I’d like if there were AI motorcycles to vs or just if they were obstacles in game. But besides these future updates, hopefully soon, I love the game.
