The value story

The value story

Across all 63 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. CarX Street ($9.99, scores 23) outscores it, and so does Hashiriya Drifter-Online Drift Racing Multiplayer (DRIFT/DRAG/RACING) ($1.99, scores 16). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

Cool cars, night streets and plenty of tuning options, but the actual drifting never feels quite right. Fun to mess around with for a while, just don't expect a polished racing experience.

This game is decent for its price , has ok graphics and the drifting physics is a bit overboard , assuming the game was the developers first game , this is good has a nice variety of upgrades and customization . 7/10 :)
