Nitro Nation: Drag Racing Reviews

by Dakota72724242

I uninstalled after seeing that there was only 1 single car the player can actually realistically afford going into B class and it’s the crappiest of them all, C class also only had 2 real options out of countless “choices”, mind you there was actually tons of cars but going into B class you win $50,000 I had saved up the past like 10 races I had done worth of money also and had $55,000ish only one single B class car costs $50,000 the next cheapest cost DOUBLE at $100,000, so the only real choices are buy the 1 and only car you can afford that I didn’t want at all, or grind for countless hours just to get the next cheapest car, winning roughly $200 a race? That would probably take weeks. Or option 3 which is what NN is obviously counting on and that is to buy a car with your own real money, I’m extremely disappointed after reading all the great reviews I expected a good game, I won’t call it a cash grab yet because the game really does have potential, the game mechanics are far superior to other similar games that I have played in my opinion but the way it’s looking to me those good game mechanics are useless if I have to spend a little real money just to get a car that I only SOMEWHAT like and then have to spend even more to get a car that I ACTUALLY like

Would be better if the prize funds were ever enough to buy the next tier base level car. Then the cost to upgrade vs your earnings, it takes forever to build a car to compete in the next career mode. One of the main ways to do it is live bets but they put you against cars that can run almost a full second faster and expect you to know how fast a car you don’t have in a tier your not in is. My R34 GT-R is over like 880 upgrade class C and gets crushed by a class S with only 100 upgrade. The only way to stay competitive is to constantly spend real money either on cars or gold or upgrades. This game would be more fun if live races were regulated based on abilities for the car better and prize money was more in line with that of the next level car. People will still spend money and not feel like they are getting ripped off.

The game is really fun and it has lots of cars, most of which are extremely customizable. From wheels to body kits, paints and underglow, even colored window tint and graphics so you can really make your car look the way you want it. The Upgrades are also really cool however it seems no matter how much you upgrade your car the competition is always steps ahead of you and after a while the opponent cars are just ridiculously fast. Another problem with the upgrades is how limiting the blueprints are. It’s impossible to get a blueprint you want without paying for it as they always give them at random and the base level upgrades provide very little gain. Especially after you’ve upgraded your car a lot, the gift boxes and prizes are always inferior to the parts I have installed I’d say 90% of the time, so after installing a new good part you will win maybe one more race or two then the competition is just way too fast again and you’ll have to try 10, 15, even 20 times before you get another part that will actually help your car’s performance and even that isn’t enough to help you catch up. I loved the game at first but they really dropped the ball for anyone who might want to keep playing the game after the first car.

I’ve played for a little over a year. This game offers what the others don’t: good tuning, unlimited racing, customization, drifting and a somewhat fair approach. I’ve spent a fair amount of money as well. Have 4 cars close to 1000cogs.

There are a plethora of issues I have with the balancing of the game and how meta throughout the classes is pretty linear. Large majority of leaderboard cars are behind paywalls or by small chance in a crate. A new car often gets released that will completely take over leaderboards, making previous work you’ve done to maintain in tournaments turn into who has the most money and can upgrade the car to max fast. These cars are not easy to get up to 900+ cogs with pure playing. I had a car get nerfed and lose 600hp and 600torque after lots of effort upgrading and money spent with no kickback after making the car useless in terms of competition.

I’m not sure how people manage to get through the last stage of career I find it impossible to put millions into a car plus the upgrade kits. I’m somewhat established and just mainly drift if I do play now.. It’s easy to see why the player base has fallen off And why new players don’t stay. Lots of crashes that make my iPad force restart recently.

Love hate relationship. Good game, but it will hurt your pocket if you actually want to play it. Cheers.

It’s a fun drag racing game. I rated a 3 star because of a bug with the storage of parts. I will pay 10 gold (which is not free to obtain) for a extra parts slot and then lose the slot as if I never paid for that slot. It’s frustrating when you are constantly getting more parts from chests or creating blueprints. I’m quite sick of running out of space and having to re purchase slots I’ve already purchased. Fix this bug as well as reimburse all the players who have had to repurchase these slots repetitively. When this occurs it makes this game a bad money pit. Fix and you will receive a better rating. Other than this the game is a fun game, lots of options for cars to purchase and race with. Tons of upgrades and interior/exterior options to personalize your vehicle.

Also the drivers battles are impossible, although they are identical cars, you can do perfect shifts and basically a perfect race to lose it’s pretty pointless.

If you want your game to succeed as a money pit you need to make people want to actually spend real money in the game by being a game worth it

I need you developers and producers to stop with this incompatible matchmaking.. the PR of a player’s vehicle DOES NOT MATCH with the cars overall performance.
You can’t race someone with matchmade PR but the vehicle makes times of a higher class..(i.e a D-STREET making A-A1 race times)..

It doesn’t make sense to race a car you’ve beaten more than once, that same opponent has MADE NO PR MOD SINCE ANY RACE, IN LOBBY, and all of a sudden you lose just because of a certain amount of money; causing you to lose your bank. I find that to be cheating; and the fact that you can’t report AFK is a BIG PROBLEM.. there are too many players who use AFK MODS to get out of from within the game; you should be able to report a cheater when you lose if you feel you have been cheated..

PEOPLE SPEND REAL MONEY FROM REAL BANK ACCOUNTS to make the game more fun, just for them to lose it all and be stuck with one car.. this is shameful for any racing app.. it is NOT FAIR to race all these races, win, and lose everything one go.

UPGRADES for A to S/S1-CLASS(RACE) are too pricey if you can FULLY MOD. EVERY OTHER CLASS VEHICLE!!!!!

THESE ARE IN-GAME SITUATIONS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED
I played this game FIRST DAY OF RELEASE, LOST TWO NNO ACCOUNTS BECAUSE OF THESE EXACT SITUATIONS!!!!!

FIX IT OR SHUT IT DOWN!!!!
We as players shouldn’t undergo such a hassle to have fun with a fast car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously,
ASAP!!!!!!!!!

Gameplay is great, absolutely gorgeous graphics and great car physics, but the upgrade system is trash. It’s all about monetization. Upgrading your car is easy enough until you get to around Class A/A1 (think about mid-class euro sedans and upper class American muscle). At that point, your turning down upgrade that boost your HP by 50 because you don’t have enough in game “storage” to hold your upgrade cards. Yes you can upgrade your storage, but that requires an intake currently that is hell to earn, and expensive to buy with actual money. I’m stick with a 660hp bmw with no equal competition, when I should have a 900+hp Beamer with an actual chance against “paying players.” 🙄 Get it if you like, but be prepared to quit after the 3rd career season or pay up... 🤦🏼‍♂️

First things first. This game is absolutely amazing. The graphics are really good for a mobile game there are a LOT of different cars you can race on different maps it’s easier to earn money than people say in the comments. But one thing that’s annoying I guess is once you beat second stage it becomes ridiculously hard to progress. But don’t get me wrong I love a challenge and this game is great and makes me want to beat those guys I’m just asking the Devs to smooth out rough edges and even the playing a bit plz and thank you. This is a great game and I will rate 5 stars if this gets an update in the coming months evening out the drivers.

by Stizout

This is one of the better games in this genre. You can play consecutively without having to wait for anything to fill up. However, once you get to a certain point, you can’t really win anymore. Driver battles and the tire battles are almost impossible to win now, especially the last one where you can win an upgrade.

My biggest complaint is there aren’t really any ways to determine which car is the best. So you buy the car you hope will get you through the career and then if it isn’t the best one, you will have a hard time winning in multiplayer and other races to progress.

Last complaint that you can’t really change, no matter how good your car is, there is always a bigger fish. If you’re car is up to 700, there is someone out there who has a car purchased with real money and rated at an 800 that you’ll NEVER beat and for every 10 battles, 8 of them will be impossible to win. But how do you balance this? I don’t know...

Pros: Game is so fun and I remember playing this game as a kid and coming back to it is really something. You get attached to most races you have and when online you can get extremely competitive and it fun. There is so much more to say about this game but I don’t feel like writing a book
The cons are that they raised the prices of all the cars so you couldn’t get some of the cars you used be able to purchase once you beat a stage. You used to have so many options to choose from instead you have one or two before you have to grind for 50k more to get a car you use once for a stage. And once you go far enough on the campaign you get to the point where when you beat the stage and the prize money isn’t even enough to buy a new class car, you wouldn’t even have enough for a car ( please devs fix this it really kills the want to play the game) again there is always more cons but like I said I don’t want to Write a book. But either way get the game it’s so much fun

I started off with NN back in ‘17, on another platform. I tried my hand at BlueS... recently; and, after bouncing around between old Wintel and Ubuntu platforms, we arrived at iOS. The gameplay is much more smooth here, and very tactile. As a young guy that used an Apple II in college, and grew from the rev 1 Macintosh, Performa and iMac series- I’ve always been an Apple fan, but life circumstances took me away from Apple... but I’m back now. I couldn’t give Nitro Nation for iOS 5 stars, for one reason: they may be working with their physics engine for the new rev coming up. They’re trying for more realism for the upcoming rev, but right now -the graphics aren’t worthy of an Ultra video quality setting. The pixelation effects are nearly 1970s in resolution. I foresee a great game upgrade with WORKING features; so, whaddya think, CM? We await the new stuff, baby. Smooth as silk, seamless UI, brilliant gameplay... bring it on for iOS...

This is easily the best drag racing game on the whole App Store, if not the greatest game period. It keeps the pure spirit of drag racing in its heart, and you can tell the creators truly care about the product. The car range isn’t ridiculous, but the ones they offer are great and lots of fun to drive. The best part is the game isn’t Pay to Win, which means you can have a great time without having to worry about the pesky micro transactions that the competitor games rely on. I’ve been playing for a couple months and I’ve progressed almost to the end of career mode, and all the other drive modes are just as fun. Multiplayer racing isn’t stacked, I find myself winning more than losing and I haven’t dropped a single penny to upgrade my car. I seriously can not recommend this game enough it’s a blast!

by Jftech01

This is one of the best racing games I ever played, the best part being that Nitro Nation combines two entertaining racing types- drifting and drag race.

The first thing I noticed when I got this game was the graphics and they’re spot-on! This game is so realistic and the customizations for the cars are diverse and limitless. Also, I definitely like the “ad for 1 gold” option because it makes it possible to always be able to afford mew customizations. Sure, you may be watching ten or more ads, but compare that to games that don’t have any option to buy gold except through real money passes.

Nitro Nation didn’t work on my first installment, but after reinstalling the game a second time, it booted right up and I could spend hours racing on this game, with all the amazing options this game has as well as its astonishing physics.

Most important- Nitro Nation is on the safe side of f2w. There’s not a whole lot of p2w involved in this game, and you’re guaranteed to have a great time with this game due to no fuel limits.

Highly recommend this game if you want a combination of drag and drift racing. Nitro Nation is a perfect mix of the two.

by Mikey Littles

Love it, hard to make money, easy to fall in a pit of despair cause you just can bet enough to win more that you bet cause it’s hard to make money off of anything except bets. Any way, the stakes are high but the horsepower starts off low. As you go along through your simulation career flying down the strip, the numbers increase immensely but the ratios stay the same. Any advantage you think you have is 1up’d from another competitor, so it’s up to you to kick their undercarriage. Great tuning options, and if CSR2’s updates include tunable gear ratio’s, they got it from Nitro Nation. Love the diamond in the rough vibe I get from this game, and you never know what your gonna get, but you can sure feel it when it’s coming. Nitro Nation is BOMB.

by Afalc34

Love this game. Love that I can spend hours playing consecutively without waiting for anything to charge back up like the fuel on csr. The gameplay is consistent and almost never lags. Upgrade system works very well. My only complaint is the lack of a lot of classic muscle cars. There are some good ones, Chevelle challenger, charger. Some others thrown in the mix too but there's mostly modern stuff. Don't get me wrong there is good modern muscle too, but the majority of the first couple tiers aren't cars you typically see going down a drag strip lol. The tuning is nice and drastically helps if know what your doing. And for those like me that do know how to tune, I'd like to be able to tune tire pressure and the boost curve as well. Other than that, no complaints. Good game!!

by DwayneTheGenius

Nitro nation is pretty much everything you could want in a mobile racing game. Awesome cars, drag racing, AND drifting. It's not flooded with 3rd party ads either, the only ads you'll see are video bonuses for a little extra credits after a race or ads to earn gold with tapjoy which actually helps a lot. However the live race with bets matchmaking does seem a little off it's not too bad though. The only thing it's missing that is the real deal sealer is adding friends racing with friends and MAYBE even trading ! But first we definitely need to be able to race friends. Great game tho really like it, recommended it to my brother and he enjoys as well

by Rober Naparan

This games is awesome! The graphics are epic and the cars are identical to the real thing. I support this game app a lot! I have bought many of in game purchases receipts from Apple store in emails & love playing this game..

There is some flaws to this game,like drag league trophies,I will race a opponent with higher COG’s “Horse power” same class license as me “S1” and when I beat this opponent I receive no increase in trophies!? “We raced on 1mile track”

But when I race the same opponent on a 1/8 mile track and I lose to him,my drag league trophies decrease in numbers! Why is that?... I really want to rate this game 5 stars, but this feels like a flaw or bug in the game or something that a developer needs to address ASAP! Or at least give me a explanation on why it’s doing that..

If you guys do not fixed soon or give me a reasonable explanation,I will take my money & Business elsewhere to another drag racing game! I spent over hundreds of dollars on in game purchases alone.

I really don’t want to stop playing or paying for in game purchases for this game because it is fun and addicting! & I love it!!
Please fix or do something about the drag league trophies increase and decrease when racing opponents on any track... thank you & I hope I can remain a valid customer towards this game!

Sincerely,
Robert

This game is amazing simply because it's a true progress as you play and not have to spend money type of game. I want to spend money simply because it's fun and I like certain cars not because I have too. Honestly the best racing game. I wish you guys would do a classic car version. Honestly there's so much to accomplish and you don't have to wait. I found myself stepping away and just admiring the fact that I could progress at my own speed. The mods are pretty accurate but I'd like to see an in depth tuning feature. That will weed out any noobs during multiplayer. Also please disqualify anyone that lags or takes more than 4 seconds to enter multiplayer race. One guy lagged my game causing me to miss a shift. But my hats off to the developers. Look at my reviews and notice that they are all harsh. This is honestly a game I can say is truly fun. Please don't turn out like the other racing games or apps. You guys are perfect! 🙂

by Bcampos19

Honestly at the beginning it was hard for me it required a lot of components to upgrade a car but I started paying more and more and yes I was stuck trying tk beat that viper on career mode and I finally beat him not too long ago honestly it felt great after soo long and well this game it’s one of the best if not the best racing game in the market right now and I really recommend this game I wish there was more ways we could interact by that I mean long term players that have seen the game growing so much in the last years it’s incredible still play it whenever I get the chance too love it !!!

It’s great awesome to graphics are on the top performance is good just wished about a few things that you can choose your race course because I’ll be racing 1/8 mile races then all of a sudden it changes it bugs me a lot due to the fact that I tend to bet a lot and when it changes I lose a lot. I also wished that you can raise the betting a little bit further like betting your car. I’m pretty sure that would help out a lot of players since racing rivals the old drag racing game has well decreased in players due to the new update and I think if you add pinks into the game as well as turf wars you’d be making bank that’s my opinion but over all great game.

by TL Weedman

This game used to be really cool and a lot of fun, then all of this sudden it started taking 3 to 5 minutes That you would have to wait to watch your bonus video. If you don’t get bonus videos, then you have to spend money. I understand that these games are all about making money for them, and they could give a crap less about what the consumer thinks of their game. But slowing down your bonuses so people would prefer to spend money instead of just watch bonuses is garbage. The company makes money every time you watch the video, so why should it matter if you are paying for the game or not, if you are making the money the game should be just the same. The BS of making games more difficult or making it so you can’t get bonuses just in hopes that you will spend money is a crock at this game should not be played and should be taken out of NitroNation Store.

by Fix Lobby Problems

The game is ridiculously good but the only reason why I game it a 4 stars is because is impossible to get suspension kit points and others car kits points to install the parts so it force you to spend real money witch is not great since no one wants to spend 20 and 30 dollars daily on a free download game insane please try to fix this problem and also gold omg so hard to get gold coins every slot for parts is 10 gold coins I have seen cars for 1000 of coins witch is fine for that to spend a little of money for that but when you have to paid with coin because you don’t have enough kits points is extremely disappointing since you have to stop playing the game just not to spend more real money PLEASE FIX THIS AND IT WOULD BE A PERFECT GAME
