Love/ Hate this Game – CSR 2 - Realistic Drag Racing Review

Just to clarify I am a hardcore player more or less as I’ve been playing this game for close to five years now. The game at its core is great and I love it. One of the best car racing games on the App Store no doubt. I love to collect my favorite brands of cars and race them online against other people. However, this is where my enjoyment ends and the hate begins. As a hardcore player I’ve spend some money on the game (around $30-$40 over the years) which I really hate doing on any video game. Either way I’ve come to realize that if you don’t want to spend any money on the game then you really can’t enjoy the game. Yes you can play through the story’s and collect the cars like that but they make it very hard to do so if you aren’t patient and don’t want to wait. Like even winning against a main character and collecting there car is a challenge that they want to charge you for so you can get an extra special nitrous boost to win. Even then if you do get that car from the character you’ll never use it at all!!! I’ve made that mistake and now I have cars that have never been touched because they can’t be used in any type of event. The events are arguably worse in that if you don’t spend money on gold keys or buying the car outright you cannot participate in the event and get cool items. They also lock part crates for event cars behind a paywall so that you spend money to get a stage 6 part so you can finish the event and get the cool rewards. I understand that these people need to make some money but when you charge $20 for a single car it’s a bit ridiculous as that would be just for the car. You’d still need to upgrade the car within the event timeframe to reap the benefit of the event. I’m pretty sure they could drop the prices and still make money. Again as a hardcore player I’ve completed the story for the classics and the main story so I don’t have anything to do really. I have many many cars and still when a event goes on I can’t partake in it because you need a “SPECIAL” car or cars for it. So in the end this game is a great and fun racing game but is ruined in my opinion. If you don’t spend money then you really won’t enjoy it and or will get bored with it very very quickly.
