    This game is going to blow people away. So much content. By the time it's released in USA I will have unlocked everything which is soooooo much and took hours a day for months .
    Very unique modes to play as well

    I'm downloading as soon as I can this evening.

    Any chance you can confirm if has iCloud functionality? (This seems to be my most pressing concern on every game) :)

    And what about iap? Coin doubler or anything to remove ads?

    Is there just a single player mode? The constant internet connection along w searching for other players is killing me....and I'm in NY with a good connection.

    It immediately did a cloud sync when I opened it.

    I've seen no doubler nor ad disabling. The only ads I've seen are completely optional for a reward. I bought a starter VIP Deal it offered with coins, gems, car skins and free car packs a day for five days @$2.99

    Btw there are clubs in this game and TA's Zendorphin [will be] accepting applications for his club:

    [TBA] stay tuned

    Really wanted to love this as was looking forward, but there are just too many f2p shananagans going on. Yes it seems that gems are generous, but the "cost" to play races, timers to upgrade, and constant internet connection are turn offs for me.

    This would be an amazing premium game, but doubt that is going to happen.

    Gave it a shot....deleted.

    Yeah, cost to race, timers for upgrading, always online AND forced multiplayer?! This is yet another reason that while Codemasters are awesome when it comes to PC and console racers (DiRT Rally is the latest example of this), they can never quite get it when it comes to mobile racers. Sure, the racing itself is smooth, but the cost of entry (inconvenience cost, not monetary cost) is way too great.

    Off the first hour or so of play its, well Ok.

    Nothing special in the racing side, cars seem a bit floaty but it controls well and it looks good - just lacks anything special. Admittedly it could be because you only get big vans to play with at the start....

    The online only/multiplayer only doesn't bother me too much as it's essentially and historically a multiplayer/party game so I can understand why they did it.

    the FTP elements are all there in abundance - timers, multiple currencies ads etc - not my cup of tea and I suspect it's that that will put me off in the long term but in the short term st least it doesn't seem too bad.

    In short, it seems very well put together and I'll be putting a bit more time into it but I can't see it staying on my device for long.

    I agree not bad not anything real new and certainly not anything to keep long term but for right now not too bad
    Like all racing games on phones now you have no gas and that's usually a problem for me because then I feel that's the set up meaning that's where the what type of vehicle you have matters more than ability to drive the vehicles in a race

    Does anyone know if the servers went down. It says my game progress can't be retrieved and I can't get into the game.

    It shows that screen right after pack openings but I don't know how you can send them otherwise. Add me via GameCenter. I'll definitely play couple of hours more.
