CSR 2 - Realistic Drag Racing Reviews

I have been playing for at least 7 to 8 years, I have always had a passion for racing games and enjoy the graphics and variety of cars in the game, I now have at least 150 cars to play with which is great. However, the game has increasingly turned from PLAY TO WIN vs PAY TO WIN, I really have enjoyed playing the game but there are too many events going on at the same time and too many cars to upgrade unless you spend all day playing or pay a bunch of real money to get what you need to simply keep up with the weekly and bi-weekly events, after all this time they are slowly killing the game for a lot of long time players, trust me when I say I probably know how this game is going to end. I spent an equal amount of time on a game called Racing Rivals (used to be a top competitor of this app) only for the game to be shut down after spending hundred’s of dollars playing, I couldn’t have been more disappointed when it happened, all I could do is cross my fingers they would keep it going because I was so invested, and now I see this game heading in the same direction, the greed for a profit is killing the desire and taking the fun out of the game. IF you decide to start playing this game I advise to NOT spending real money trying to keep up, one day the game will probably be shut down and you will be left with nothing to show for it!

This is a fun game, with great graphics and exposure to cars a lot of people will never see. However, I will warn you to not get sucked in and spend money on this game. Though they deny it, statistics support the long-standing belief that this game is rigged. You can buy all the keys, gold, packages, etc. that you want, but the statistical odds of you getting what you want from those purchases often lead to outlying circumstances, where you get nothing to help you progress in the game. Add to it that the game has several glitches that: deny you wins (there are simply no possible outcomes but a loss with some glitches), shut you down in the middle of a race, crashes all the time, and just generally frustrate users. Add to it, NSM will blast you with special buy promos every time you go back to you garage (Enough already! We know the special offers are out there!). Again, they’ll deny it, but NSM knows who pays to play and who does not. I have two accounts, one in which I sometimes pay and one in which I do not. Which account gets the better stuff from free pulls? You guessed it...the one in which I don’t ever spend money.

The game is fun, but don’t spend any money on it. As well, be ready to be frustrated with all of the technical issues. NSM is only about the money it can make. They should care about quality but don’t.

To start off my review, this review is for the new and intermediate. I would also like to add that I have been playing for about 3 years, maybe four if it has been that long. This game for a drag racing game is amazing when it comes to graphics and customization for the “elite tuners” cars, not so much for general cars as customization is specific to elite tuner cars. You cannot customize anything else which is a bummer. It is a “ you get what you get” system when it comes to anything else that isn’t elite tuners. When it comes to game play it is almost impossible to get your hands on cars without spending real money, and quite a bit of it might I add, not to mention that once you receive the car, that is step one of spending money, if you don’t have any in game cash, you either need to race in game or spend a little more of that hard earned to upgrade that car. you just bought to have a chance to participate in the event. Once you’ve done all that and completed the event or didn’t because the event ran out of time, that car will become what is known as a “dust collector” what that means is that you will probably never be able to use that car, at least not for a very long time, after that, that does not mean you won’t be able to use it, it just means you can’t for the time being at all until they allow you to.

I’ve been playing this game since 2016 and I took a break up to now because it’s play to win!! It hurts my brain every second a new deal pops in my face, or near impossible missions that take sooo long to complete.... unless you spend your money. Every challenge that pops up you can complete the first part and make a good amount of in-game money, but like always, it is too good to be true. You have to own/purchase this rare or super expensive car, which 9 times out of ten can only be bought with a lot of in game gold which costs like $15. I hate that you have to spend a lot of money just to at least progress/grow in the game naturally.

Helpful tip to the devs: Look at what clash of clans did with their game. It does take a lot of work and time to improve and progress in the game, but it’s possible to get to a point without spending money and that the paying part is just to fast track you forward or get you something rare. This game is near impossible to enjoy anymore because you are bombarded with deals/bundles, new challenges that you can earn a lot but you must have a car that you know most people don’t have so you force us to pay. I know this is a business but it ruins the experience for the users. I’m sure clash of clans makes a lot of money still even though they aren’t pay to win and I’m sure if you guys take some inspiration from them, this game could get better.

Thanks!

The game is fun to pass time with. The challenges are very unfair in my opinion. Showdown races should be matched properly. First of all don’t restrict what car you can use. Then you do restrict the car to be used (in my case a legends car that is maxed to stage 5 parts) but since it is a legends car that I can’t complete because they have app issues with the legends races I can’t get it into my regular garage to be tuned. Then you put me up against their 5 cars running low 10s while I am stuck with my tier 3 car running 17s. There is no way to beat that. I have complained several times about this with nothing happening other than being told we are working on a fix. Here is 100 coins (that does nothing for me to advance). The. They tell me that no further conversations will be had about this issue. That’s cool push me off to the side great customer support. I would be willing to spend money in the game if I had some thought that I might advance in the game. But with they way have have things set up it’s not going to happen. Everything you buy is a gamble. Why would I spend money for parts to a car that I don’t even own in the game. CSR2 designers really need to step it up a lot to make this a more successful app in my opinion. Make it a game that can be beaten. Not a game that you make one step forward and then 10 steps back. I give it a little more time then I will probably delete the game again if they don’t fix some things.

I rated this 5 stars because although there are minor issues with this game, Natural Motion does not disappoint with consistent bug fixes. I wouldn’t recommend this game if your under 10. Mainly because tuning can be stressful and difficult at times. There are also other aspects in this game that require quite serious terms such as Crews. Most Crews in this game have a standard of 200K - 300K RP earning per season. Meaning you most play this game consistently to even be able to make it in a crew. Although you don’t have to be in a crew, I completely recommend one if you play considering there are lower earning crews that don’t require you to play as often. Still earning you some items. Overall this game is VERY consistent with constant updates and new seasons that star lots of different events such as The Fast And The Furious. Natural Motion did not disappoint with this development. Most reviews I’ve noticed that complain about live races or something lagging has never happened with me. Which clearly means that it’s not Natural Motions fault. It’s internet connection. I hope this review helps people who want an amazing graphics, Event accumulating, Car racing game. Much appreciated ‼️

So this game is really good, but there is one thing that really irritates me. In elite showdown you get around 60 trophies for each win, and lose about 20 for each loss. But that is not what irritates me 😅 it’s the fact that I am a tier three car, and they put me up against tier four and five cars. I’m ok with the tier four cars but the Reid five is just completely unfair. There is just no possible way for me to win so I am stuck unless I win a car that could beat tier five, but that is not going to happen for a while. Also I got a notification saying that I won a free viper, but I didn’t so I don’t know what that is about because I did not win one, I and I sometimes get notifications saying that my parts arrived, but they actually have not. But that is the only thing that irritates me. 😅just please please please change the fact that I have to lose. That’s just not fair. ☹️ also one more thing the game will get stuck on the loading screen, but what I’ve been able to do to fix it (and this just started for me today) was make sure my cellular and WiFi was turned on, so hopefully that helps every one on that problem😬 ( I think it has to do with Game Center) and if my first solution doesn’t work, try turning off WiFi and cellular so that way you don’t connect to Game Center and then turn it on when the game starts

I love this game. I. Love. This. Game. Unfortunately it is pay to win. I love collecting cars and seeing all the classics. I love how you’re able to upgrade the cars, and I love how you’re able to get improved parts to make your car even better. I love the tuning system and all the possibilities of a build you can have on a car. I don’t love how pay to win the game is though. When I first played this game YEARS ago, I absolutely fell in love with it. Unfortunately as time went on I noticed how even though I had fully upgraded cars and the bests parts I could find at the time, it never mattered. All of the events in this game require you to pay $20 for a car, keep in mind I couldn’t even keep track with the amount of events. I’m sure that if I bought every single car for every single event I would have spent hundreds of dollars, and that’s just the cars on their own. What I just said isn’t even the worst part though. In this game there are 5 tiers of cars, tier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. At least that’s what you would expect. In this game there is an nsx honda. It is a tier 4 car and it can go like from 0-360 miles an hour in 9 seconds. I’ll let you think about that. I have a lot more to say but I think this review is long enough. TLDR: this game is extremely pay to win and unrealistic.

I have tried to resolve several issues with the people who put CSR2 out there. Since all I ever get is that they understand my frustration and they are working on fixing things, I felt it was time to write this review. I like playing, but will probably hang it up after this. They promise things like free cars and when you try to get them, the cars are not there or they come up with an excuse about you already having that car. Yes, I purchased it, I did not get it free from you as you advertised. People get duplicate cars sometimes when they purchase them with keys. You allow those people to strip one car down for parts. Why is is different if I purchase a car and then you offer it for free? If you say it is free, the people who play should be able to get it. Lots of problems lately with the game freezing up, missing out on bonus cash and upgrades for cars. You always get the same response... we understand your frustration and we are working on it. Most of the cars you get will not even be able to hit the dyno times that are posted for your car... and you can’t even find out about the problem until you have added enough parts to even get a dyno time. Yes, some cars may do better than the predicted times, but most of them will not. The more I have played, the more disappointed I have become in the customer service. I would not recommend you get CSR2.

The game overall is fine, but the constant ads to buy this or this gets annoying. Especially since after tier 2 it is almost impossible to do extremely well in the game without buying something. Like the events that are based off of cars that you already have a slim chance of winning then tell you that you have a 5x chance of winning is complete bs, just a way to try and get you to spend more of your money into this pay to win game. It gets frustrating when you have only like four cars to choose from when you beat a boss. Then there are like maybe five other cars you can buy with stupid amounts of gold, again pay to win. Then the rest of the cars for that tier, which are usually about 10 to 20 cars that you pull from silver and gold crates, which you have like less than 2% chance of winning a vast majority of the time, even from the gold crates, which I have yet to use since that system is broken as well. Natural motion is a company that only makes its money off of people that actually have enough money to consistently buy what they are selling! If they make this game just have more ways to get things that usually require money to efficiently get, I will give a much better review. Based off the story and crews and just the amount of cars, not to mention the good graphics for a mobile game, this game would be an easy five-star by itself. But it’s not because this game is so insanely play to win. Natural Motion just fix that problem.

Hello Natural Motion,

I come to you with a few suggestions for CSR 2. I love the graphics of the game, by far the most detailed racing game I’ve played. Though I highly suggest making a mode or adding a feature where you are able to invite Facebook friends or crew members to a live racing lobby. I say this because a lot of people enjoy being able to play with each other, for example my father and I are both in a crew and we are also Facebook friends and we always try to get into the same live racing lobby though we always fail. So that is one suggestion but another is that I highly recommend adding a feature where you are able to give Facebook friends keys. I understand that you guys try to give players a challenge to get keys but I think you guys are making it too hard, especially with the gold keys. And finally I think you should make a feature where you can trade different cars, though it would make it easier to get rare cars but it would also make it a lot more organized in my opinion. Some people have a lot of cars and don’t know what to do with them and I just think it would be a good idea. Thank you for taking the time to read this review, I hope you can take some of these suggestions into consideration have a good day and goodbye.

Sincerely, Evan Walters.

I remember seeing this game on the AppStore after just downloading the first one and I was super interested in it and this is what really got me into cars. I would play it all day long but after about a year or two of having it I just can’t really do anything without having to pay for it like the recent Pittsburgh event, for the first race you need the dodge demon but you can only get it from rare imports for ten gold keys but the thing is I can’t get my hands on any gold keys without buying them and even if I do get them I only get a small chance of actually getting the car I want even if it does say x10 chance which by the way does not feel any different. I’ve been thinking over the week of deleting it but always kept it because of my progress but today I finally made the decision to delete it. I know I’m one player out or millions and me saying I deleted it makes to difference but if the aspect of the unfair pay to win and also toss in the fact that some of the ai can be completely unfair just made this game not fair. If you can fix this for at least players in the future that would be amazing and I know this game has features to buy currency because it’s free but even then the items are overpriced but if you made it to the end, thanks for reading.

I played almost 3 years and spent literally 2,500. on the game and so the very first time I decided to join a crew to run podium another team we figure that they had inside ties with Natural Motion called in on us for on like day 5 of our for having all 30 players with a perfect cap up until then so NM banned 26 people in our crew with not one explanation to anyone of the 26 people as to why we got our banned. I have now learned why so many people have things done/added to their accounts in the game it’s really no fun anymore and now they(NM) have what they call time attack trials in the game and now players just use auto touch to get the best times so you really have no chance to play a fair game anymore not with the the players do what they but also because Natural Motion can Ban your account and literally give you no explanation of why just because some other top crew leader was jealous of our performance and no this that crew hacks and mods things for their players on their crew every season but we were really trying to be the first crew to run a legit perfect capped season. So therefore you are only renting or leasing the game until NM decides they want you out.

I play this game a lot, in spite of the numerous bugs, frequent crashes, and very slow response from tech support. My biggest issue, however, applies to most other mobile games, too: developers are fixated on an online gambling model for monetizing their games. They create lots of stupid obstacles that ruin good games, hoping to single out the addicts in the crowd, who will then pay stupid money to buy a temporary boost in game credits, in-game currencies, or whatever. Just set a price and either sell me the whole game, without ads or waiting periods, or other BS. Or don’t. Whatever, but stop wasting my time.

That said, it has good graphics, a nice selection of cars, and the restoration feature of the Legends cars is kind of fun. On the down side, it is EXTREMELY BUGGY, crashes a lot, and the game play can be pretty repetitive. Matches against AI often are fixed and nonsensical (too easy or just impossible), and many of the upgrades cost way too much or take way too long to earn. And why is it that if you want to paint a car, often at an absurd price, the choices include metallic colors, pastels, patterns... but no simple solid colors? Wierd. I like the game, really, but once again I find myself wondering if the devs actually ever tried playing the game themselves.

This game is amazing...graphics, realistic cars, fun gameplay, a story to the game I love everything about this game... except for one thing. The Live Races, I don’t get what happens when I do live races, I bring out one of my tier 1 cars to do a quest, go into a race, I start off absolutely dominating my opponent by a landslide, then all of a sudden way from the back of the track whoever I’m up against blazes past me at the VERY LAST second as if the person is using a Tier 10 car (I know that’s not a thing) but goes at the speed as if it was a tier 10 car. But then sometimes I unintentionally do the same to my opponents, they start off destroying me then right as we’re about to cross the finish line BOOM I blaze past my opponent in seconds and I just play it normally, I shift, boost and launch that’s it. I don’t understand this at all and it is insanely annoying when I can’t even win a single live race other than when I do that to my opponent unintentionally, (all my cars are fully upgraded and tuned before I do live races also). I don’t know if this is just something in the game or a bug or a glitch or whatever but if it’s in the game because developers put it in I guess I’ll have to live with it but if it’s a bug or glitch or hack...PLEEEAASE get that fixed🙏🙏🙏🙏

I, like others have had the same issue with purchasing the “Super Nitrous” and not getting what I paid for. Customer support is a joke with them. They took a whole week to respond with a pre-written message stating it’s not a guarantee that you will win, which is true and nowhere states that it will give you a win, just an advantage. But when the car has all upgrades except stage 6 body and almost all fusion parts installed, it should be safe to assume you will win the race, but no even with perfect start and all perfect shifts the car ran SLOWER than without Super Nitrous. I let that go after seeing Customer Service was going to do nothing about it. Don’t bother wasting money on keys because once you get the car you really want you will be broke and living in a cardboard box, and then they will just release another car that’s better so you have to buy more keys. Which let’s be honest you’re already broke and homeless from buying keys for the first car you wanted so now you’re going to have to collect cans to make money to buy the new car! Oh but wait! Now that you collected 10,000 cans and bought the new car, there’s a new one! Pretty soon you run out of cans to collect and resort to stealing copper to sell at scrap just to get that new car...

But for real this game is a joke when it comes to customer support. They will do and say anything to resolve themselves of responsibility.

Okay, so let me just say the gameplay aspect of this game is absolutely excellent. The only thing I would nit pick is the fact that it pretty hard to get good cars without paying for certain bundles I would love if you can spend gold coins on keys. But I digress what I’m really here to talk about is the social/multiplayer aspect I really feel this Game could go far if they added more features to the socializing part becoming more connected with other people in the game. List of things you guys should consider adding. 1. Built in translation of messages in the “crew/clan” so that way I can understand what they’re saying. 2. View other people’s profile such as there win/loss ratio etc and maybe we can view there garage of cars to see what there rocking with for fun. 3. Being able to search for certain clans with out having to refresh to find clans. Which can be pretty annoying at times. 4. Messaging people before or after the race in the online lobby. And I understand that can come with some toxicity but maybe some preset messages would be nice just to make it feel more competitive in a way. 5. Being able to verse our friends without connecting to Facebook.

So I have been playing this game for well over a year now. Overall I love the game. There are lots of cars that you can get for free to be competitive either by winning against the boss’s and getting their cars however that is hard to do without using super nos that you pay between 5-20 dollars for. I have won a few without but it was not easy. Another thing I like is there are always many types of races available. Many of the races you have multiple cars available to compete however, if your not in a crew that wins the prize cars or willing to spend lots of money, you will never have a car fast enough to win a prize car. The live racing is good but there is no way to know what lobby you were put into so if you are to slow to win and try to upgrade you don’t know how much to do and so it’s hard to find the perfect tune to have all cars competitive. I have to say I think this game would be better if we could wager as much as we want and also race for pink slips. It does have a good story line and having a crew to help gain points for perks is cool. I also think having the ability to chat with people while in the race lobby’s would be nice.

I’ve been playing CSR since it came out and it’s fun and aggravating at first. There is a lot of people that will cheat their way by buying cars with money (real money) and at times you can’t get a certain car unless you pay for it. I’ve spend money before buying silver coins to get weekly car to race and found that the best strategy is to race as many events you can and watch the free videos that gives you gas to race. I joined a crew for 2 years ago but mainly was trying to build up my money and gold coins.
It’s hard to save but if you do the game will give you so much...in 2 years time I saved up 30k gold coins and over $30mi
I use gold coins as needed as having 30k I won’t have an issue of running out, just be thoughtful and don’t spend it all. Upgrading level 4 and 5 cars maxed out is the worst as it varies from 3-7 million...
A nice change to the game would be if only a few members of the crew can activate coins, let us see car rp for online races and give us a chance to win cars without spending real cash. If you patient you can accumulate a lot of coins and cash but it’s hard and you constantly have to open game to play and watch adds.

I’ve been playing this game for almost 2 years now I believe and the “pay to win” part of the game wasn’t as bad but it’s just ridiculous at this point, you can’t upgrade a car without at “buy a new car” or “you need more money” after you just play for an hour to afford an upgrade. That part isn’t so bad because you get used to it but this is the worst game I’ve ever played from a “fair” standpoint due to this company’s money hungry game. Then the worst thing in the game are the hackers / cheaters. I was recently playing the liberty walk drag race event where you race against other people and it was all going well I had about 350 points / trophies and then I encounter my first hacker, he goes right past me and finishes the race at 430 mph and does it in 8 seconds, another example of the hackers happened right after that in the r34 gtr who just teleported every time he shifted and he ended up finishing in 5 seconds. Over all this game has gone down hill and is very hard to enjoy anymore. Plus all the cars that you actually want you have to pay for, win (which normally requires paying to get enough money to get upgrades), or you don’t get the car you want and spend all your in game money on something like a huracan instead of the rwb Porsche. Very dissatisfied.

While playing this game for years it is a good fun game. The issue is with the multiple years comes multiple updates. Sometimes the updates work as planned, other times they don’t. There is a major glitch caused by one on the more recent updates that will prolong the amount of time parts are cars are to arrive. Customer Support has always been helpful when this occurred and given gold to purchase back the elongated time. Well now there is a new glitch that is tacked on to the mentioned glitch. Your car purchase will never deliver after the long delivery time and there is no way to buy the timer with gold. Customer Service to this point has been less than stellar, they just say the development team is looking into it. In the mean time you as a player can’t complete collections or gain RP due to not having the required car. Which really is the point of the game. I have suggested that customer service just gift the car in question, but they refuse like this would cost the company millions in lost revenue to do. It would be nothing more than a click of a key to resolve but that’s not the case.
I would caution anyone before starting this game and spending your hard earned cash to read this review and understand what you are getting into. While fun there are issues and what seems like an easy fix will not be in the customers interest the customer support team will delay and not do what would be the most viable thing to do. Beware!!

Ok so, don’t get me wrong this game is awesome. But it can be unfair. First of all, its pay to win. If you wanna do a Supercar Science to win a car guess what? You either have the cars you need or you cant do it. I mean you can buy anything you would ever need for the event for only around $65 USD. Like who the heck would pay that for a virtual garage full of Bugattis? Second thing, ads/gold system. So theres two main currencies in this app, one being cash, one being gold. Gold can be used to buy cars, refill gas, and other stuff I can’t think of. But you only have 10 fuel pips, and if they run out you have to wait 1-3 hours for them to refill or buy more with 20 gold. Or watch an ad, but if an ad is unavailable, and you don’t have 20 gold and want to play now, then your out of luck. Third, crates. There are 3 crates in this app. Bronze, silver, and gold. Today I bought a gold crate. And I was happy about that. But I couldn’t even pretend to be happy when it said “You won a 4 star car!” I spent $10 of my own hard earned money (I'm 11, so money isn’t easy to get, forget my parents allowing it to be spent on a game) just to get the car I didn’t want. The car didn’t even look good, forget in MY garage. I had received a 599 GTO instead of the Divo that I wanted. I may not play this game for a while, maybe never again. It also takes up a lot of space because I only have 64Gb.

This is a few of the best games ever. You have lots of cars to choose from and win some. I also like the live races a lot. The crews are a big one. It allows you to get fantastic rewards for the remaining sessions. The showdowns are also a thing a like about this game, you can race against online players around the world and get many rewards. I have a big collection of cars in this game. The best one is a veneno with over 1477+. It beats a a vented or in my garage with stage 6 upgrades. Thank you for creating this game I really enjoy it. It runs smoothly on my phone. I even have my 2nd elite license for the T5MP5ST. I love this game soo much I have so much to do ESPECIALLY with updates. They bring new cars and more things to do. They did a good job making a fantastic game. I’ve played this since 2017 and still playing the even better version of this game today. I have lots of fusion parts and I have a car that does preformence than a stage 6 upgraded car. Also there is a dangerously low chance that a add pops up. I want it to stay that way. It makes me happy. Thank you for this game and for reading this.🙃😊 the next thing I’m gonna do is put all my Ferrari’s in one garage;).

CSR is a highly recommended game, especially to those who are car lovers (like me). You can always look forward to the new events and the new cars, which get better and better each time. HOWEVER, earning money can be quite easy but at the same time, can be quite the hassle. Regulation races is an important part to earning money to upgrade your cars and become one of the fastest racers in the game. It would be SOOO much easier and A LOT quicker to earn money if we are able to click a button that will bring us to the next race in regulation races... Rather than, finishing a regulation race, bringing us to the garage, then going back to the map and clicking the next regulation race only to bring us back to this vice versa cycle.

An update which can allow us to click one simple button to go straight to the next race will be the “icing on the cake”. As cliché as that sounded, it is true. I hope you take my suggestion under consideration and help others who also may agree with me.

P.S - Thank you CSR TEAM for making the best racing game the store has to offer, and I will be looking forward to the updates that come in the future.
