Greed.
This game used to be fun, it was a part of my childhood/teenage years. It didn’t have ads, the bikes were all unlockable(besides super bike) and you had so many Facebook friends to play with.
Now? Ads every 2 stages(or 1 if you reset the stage a few times), after you obtain a few free bikes the CHESTS JUST STOP OPENING VIA “connection issue” there’s no issue with the connection. It just won’t let you do it. It constantly spams you with the subscribe for more bikes haha bs. If I could rate it lower than a 1 star I would. Hell I’d axe this game so something better like ninja royale came back.

Ruined
Great when it first came out. Now it is predatory. Can’t even exit the ads. Trash.
GAME WAS BETTER BEFORE ADS
No need to say more. Title says it all!!
VIP Scam
Used to own the skins you got in the game but now you have to pay a vip subscription to use skins I either earned when the game was newer or purchased out right already when it was a in app purchase
Disappointed good game fell so hard deleted it immediately after

I HATE THIS GAME I SPEED UP TO COMPLETE THE LEVEL IT FLIPS ME OVER AND WHEN I SPEED UP TO PASS A LONG TRIANGLE BUT LONGER IT SLOWS ME DOWN SO IT TAKES ME ABOUT 20 TRIES TO BEAT THE LEVEL I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GAME BUT I WANT THE OLD GAME BACK THIS NEW ONE IS HORRIBLE IT MAKES ME AND MY SIBLINGS CRY OF ANGER AND MAKES US TO BREAK FURNITURE I GET IN TROUBLE BECAUSE I AM THE OLDEST😡😡
Ads a problem
U can’t even play on round without a ad popping up making u play it…. It won’t go away I have to close the app so I can get out off the ad because it won’t let me close out of it
A shadow of its former self.
Been playing this game for at least 12 years. My best friend and I have played countless multiplayer games together over the years, going back to when I had an iPhone 4.
Unfortunately, a once excellent game with a simple one time charge for the full version is now beset with scummy and greedy subscriptions and constant ads. The devs have abandoned the game in a state that is nearly unplayable. Ads appear after nearly every level and multiplayer game, the game has unexplainable stutters on modern hardware (remember that it ran with no problems on the iPhone 4), and bikes that were once unlockable through playing the game are now locked behind a staggering $20 a month subscription.
Sad to see one of the greats fall so far. If you’re an old player, cheers to the long gone good times, if you’re thinking about downloading it, save yourself the trouble. It’s not worth the megabytes.

If I could I would give it half a star
Used to play this game as it kid was such a great game but came back to play it for a lil nostalgia and they completely ruined it with the stupid monthly subscription thing I can’t even get new bikes
Ruined
They ruined it, it’s not the way the game used to be!
Just ads now
Cant even play with the other bikes without a subscription. Sucks.
Cost Premium for “VIP”
Used to be a fun game as a kid so I figured I’d open up the app and enjoy the nostalgia…. Now it wants me to pay for bikes I’ve already earned. Big reason to once again delete and leave as a distant memory.
Terrible
I would rather get lynched then try and play tournaments on this game
Bad
Multiple glitches happened, wast able to get to the end of the first game I tried. Very touchy
You ruined my childhood game.
Why can’t I play it like I used to? Ads everywhere. Restricted access. Could only play two levels. What happened.
Pay to play
This game is super old for the same characters and same levels from 10 years ago, and now they want money to play said levels? Outdated game
Brainrot game and ads
Literally can’t even advance the game past the ad every time. Pound sand.
Money hungry
Use to be good now can’t go 5 seconds without a ad or purchasing something
Not as good as it used to be
You need to tilt your phone for every level? Definitely not what I remember!! What a weird & unpleasant feature to stick in there!!
great..more penny pinchers
I used to play this game when I was a kid (over 12 years ago) and all the levels were free. My friends and I had so much fun competing and sending challenges to each other. I’m very disappointed that you can only play 1 map and are immediately brought to an ad. I was genuinely excited to get back into this game. Uninstalling now. What a crock.
Money Hungry Devs
This game used to be amazing. But now I can’t even use old bikes and previous maps I used to play with/on because the devs are money hungry and force me to pay.
Pay to play..seriously?
Sooo these guys decided “everyone who loved our game are adults now, let’s charge them $20 a month for things that used to be a one time purchase”🥀🥀😂✌️
Terrible game used to love it as a kid
The game is now flooded with adds and having to actually play people and win to move on in the story and don’t even start me on the pass 99 dollars for a year what a joke if I’m gonna spend that kinda money I’m gonna buy an actual game on a console not on my phone for a tilt my phone game terrible choice made by them put everything behind a pay wall should be ashamed of who you are now 1 out of 5 trash uninstalled
Fix tourneys
Fix tourneys
Greedy company
I remembered I had spent $70 dollars back in 2014 on the three super bikes. And how many randoms I had to friend request on Facebook to be able to get the ghost bike. And now i find locked behind a $20 dollar a month pay wall? How is this company still open? It’s must be investigated bc no way 500k of us still think this game is decent while being locked behind a $20 pay wall and robbing all of us 😂 definitely botting
Monthly subscription
I used to enjoy this game. Went back to it and they took away my items that I paid for. Now it is monthly fee for things that used to be a single purchase. Find your kids something else.
Scam
Charging $20 a month for new levels is criminal, absolute trash
Scammed me
Spent over 100$ in tourneys just a few days ago just for me to log on and them not to work after uninstalling and reinstalling!
Why?
I DIE TO MUCH AND THE LEVELS ARE TO HARD 😡
Garbage with ad traps
Cant escape the ads…no x shows up to exit the force-fed ads. Ads are fine, but they have to end at some point. DELETED
Bikes no longer available
I used to play this back in HS. I just re downloaded the game out of boredom. All the bikes I had spent hours grinding to get are now all locked behind a paywall. What a joke
Used to be my favorite mobile game
Now everything is behind a paywall, I do understand but I bought all the bikes even the ghost rider and now it’s making me pay again??? I linked my facebook with this and I am trying to log in to get my bikes back (hopefully) but now it’s saying facebook is not able to connect to the app currently. If this isn’t fixed In a month I’m deleted this app forever.
Ads
After ever level it wants you to download another game just to play. Lame!
Subscription
The game used to be completely free with ads all levels all cars everything, but now you have to pay a subscription to even play a few levels that you missed. I find this to be so annoying fewer and fewer games seem to be free how in days and I never expect this one to become one of them. It gets a one star because I can go any lower than that.
Took away bikes
I unlocked a bunch of bikes. Now they made them paid so I can’t use them. Game is worthless anymore unless you pay
money hungry
used to play this when i was a kid, now it’s bombarded with ads and you gotta pay for everything when it used to be mainly free. that’s pretty crazy
Do not come back
I came back to feel the nostalgia as I used to grind this game as a kid. I even wanted to buy the, what used to be a one time purchase, $20 ultra bike until I found out it’s $20 per month now. It’s a subscription. Bike race has a subscription service. $20 a month. $240 a year. No added content, dev came back just to add paywalls. Ridiculous.
Ads are Overwhelming
The ads are so aggressive that you can’t get out of them. Not even worth playing the game anymore.
level 6 of Desert 2
It is impossible to get 3 stars without purchasing a bike and i find this crazy. Make it easier to get 3 stars without.
Pay to win
It us to be fun and challenging but it hasn’t had a update in years
Pay to win
Since when was this game pay to win? You only have one bike, 3 levels and that’s it. No I am not going to spend money so I can continue to play a game
Fix this
Cannot play mp groups if u signed in with a user that was made with the old servers in 2022.
Adds are the worst
Fun, but way too many adds. Not even worth playing through.
