CSR Racing Game Review

CSR Racing for iPhone image 1 There are 5 racing crews in the city, each controls their own team (a city district). The 5 tiers are named as Fangz, Iron Samurai, Stallion Riders, War Pigs and Silver Skulls. To unlock and move through each tier you must first beat the four crew members, then the crew leader and ultimately become the fastest racer in the city. Beat Errol, the tier 5 crew leader to gain access to extra events in the lower tiers. There are 3 modes of difficulties for you to test your skills rookie, amateur and pro. Race your car to win and set the difficulty higher for bigger prizes. This game is packed with powerful race cars, few of which are new and few are classics. The drift player will compete with his rival to conquer the most prestigious official race with the city-based racing crew tiers. Enhance your car’s performance by simply executing the right alterations under the hood. Purchase and maintain the best cars that can let you increase your chance of winning the game. Your gas will be depleted as different races use different amounts of gas, so you need to get more gas to get back on the race.

On the score board your rewards are displayed based on race prize amount, perfect start, perfect shift, good shifts and decal bonus. There are some restrictions in a few races in which you may have to remove some parts from your vehicle. On every purchase of a new car, you have to wait for 10 minutes for its delivery from the factory. You can also get the car instantly at the cost of 5 gold. Also on display at the leader board are your finishing speeds, zero to 60 times and zero to 100 times for both you and your rival. If you find a challenge event hard then buy some more upgrades before attempting it again. And in addition if you need a little boost, then the tune-up mechanic can give your car a little increase in the performance. There are also lots of unlockable cars and upgrades with a majority of the ultimate car manufacturing companies which are only available at the cost of gold. The JCW Mini or BMW 125i are great racers for starters. If that’s not enough to help you, there are plenty of upgrade options available for your other cars like the ‘engine’ which will re-map the ECU, ‘the transmission’ that uprates your clutch and helps in faster gear changes, ‘the intake’ to increase performance and ‘the turbo’ for the BHP, ‘the body’ that strips apart unnecessary internal weights and improves acceleration but at the cost of grip and a host of other things like ‘the nitrous’, ‘tire upgrades’ etc.

CSR Racing game app image 2 The customizations aren’t just for the performance but are also there for changes in aesthetics. For instance, you can change your ride’s paint, name you license plate and even add custom decals. But all these customizations come at a huge cost. The controls are very simple; simply press the gas pedal on the right, to rev up and go. Timing is very important for max power output right from the start, so you need to rev the engine with the gas pedal and shift up at the right moment to change gear when the dash lights flashes green. The graphical textures and detail are superb with the car and the manufactures name displayed at the start. If you’re willing to spend your time on learning how to control and handle different car models in the drag race then the thrill that you can get out of CSR Racing is unparalleled. The game is available for downloads on the app store and is free.
