I seem to recall they had a few characters included without having to earn them to unlock from the start. I think you still had to pay the rings for them. I got my money's worth here and don't plan on reinstalling. I don't know if I'd get the VIP stuff back. Obnoxious ads are a deal breaker for me. I really don't like these kind of app changes.
It's also worth noting that unless they've added a load of content in updates (I haven't been paying attention), this has a lot of the tracks from the other versions stripped away.
Frankly, I downloaded the game because it was free. I own the PC version and I was curious to see how they re-arranged the game on ios. Honestly, I prefer the PC version. For SEGA, I don't trust except if their game has the participation of Christian Whitehead. The rest, I know it will turn into a bad free to play.
I installed weblock and got no ads of course in the game, that app is the best thing I ever did for my gaming happiness. As a side note, I also get no ads in crackle and other services. I need to go try hulu out, I don't think I ever have..... Game was ok, I played a couple tracks and deleted it. Not worth the space, and I have 32gb!
Sales happen, and if this was a sale I wouldn't care one bit. But switching from a premium game to a freemium game with ads is unforgivable. What did I pay $5 for? At least keep it respectable and go the Asphault 8 route, start dirt cheap ($1) and then go freemium. Sega really milked this one for all it was worth.
What's the VIP pass? I got the game right before the update (but for free) and I have four characters unlocked (or five not sure). Dos that mean I got the VIP pack?
Thank you. I suppose I'm not seeing the ads because I have Weblock installed... I thought the ads had to do with the 2.0 update which I didn't install yet.
Guess what? It went freemium. http://www.appspy.com/news/8452/sonic-and-all-star-racing-transformed-goes-free-to-play-on-the-app-store I mean, it was freemium since the beginning, but paid freemium. Now it is free to play freemium.
Same here. but if you have already bought the game, you still have the VIP pass for free. What a blow to buyers with a VIP pass.
Hmm. It was $1 with a free VIP pack. Now it's free and the VIP pack is $3. That's not looking like a price drop to me.
Nothing is really new for me and the VIP pass want worth it. I got this during a 0.99 cent sale, and the only character I used was sonic. I personally like the first one a little better than this baca use it isn't Freemuim.
