MMX Hill Dash — OffRoad Racing

Overall, I’m finding more variety in map styles than Hill Climb Racing 2. For the online races it’s either smooth ground, a bunch of divots, or insane hills. While in this game there’s the exact same ideas along with: stairs, collapsing bridges, movable object that form new pathways, jumps with zero ground in between. As well as resistances such as object being thrown at you, or giant fans that can flip you over. There are also more modes than HCR2, there’s marathon, speed run, elite, and normal. While HCR2 has either online races which are either too short or insanely amplified and kinda stupid hard when using lower levels. While I now I’ve seen other people getting mad at the physics of the game, it does say “FUN” in the description so it’s all about your point of view. The only place where HCR2 is better is the fact that it’s the sequel to a great game so 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not sure which aspect is more frustrating, the inconsistent "physics" or the utterly ridiculous amount of ads. As far as the physics go, I can run the same map four times, exactly the same way, pedal to the metal and when I encounter the first obstacle sometimes I'll bounce up onto the rear wheels, sometimes I'll land on the front wheels, and occasionally I'll land upside down. Don't get me started on bouncing off of some drawbridges after 1000m of an 1100m course, nearly to the end of your 56th attempt to beat it and flipping over uncontrollably to explode when you've simply bounced backwards the other 55 times. Then come the ads. Yes, I get that this is a free game funded by ads. Yes, you can opt in to ads to get free upgrades or gold. But when after every 3-4 attempts at a track you throw in a 30 second ad that can't be skipped? It wouldn't be so bad if it were every 5 minutes or so, but the fact is when you're exploding every 32 seconds due to the aforementioned inconsistent "physics" this game ends up being an exercise in futility and has nearly resulted in a flying iPhone on multiple occasions. If the physics were more consistent and the ads slightly less frequent, this had the makings to be a great game. Until then, my iPhone is at risk of being thrown at least once a day.

So far I’m enjoying this game. Controls are easy, the graphics are great, and I’m enjoying the challenge with the leaderboards. I haven’t had any problems with this game aside of it crashing on me once. - EDIT - this was one of my favorite games, I played for a couple hours every day. In my opinion, the creators should definitely cut back the ads. Literally every 4-5 tries on a track and I get a 30 second (not skippable) ad. It becomes very annoying. I could deal with ads, BUT, what I can’t deal with, is that there is one track. One track that is unbeatable. I have numerous friends that play this game, and tons more who play on Facebook, and not ONE person has beaten this certain track. I must have attempted at least 100 tries (seriously) with every single vehicle I have. You can’t progress until this track complete, and the price to buy a new map or vehicle is outrageous. It’s 20k coins, when the only way you can get coins is by beating other peoples scores (100 points) Or buy getting 400 free coins every 4 hours or so. This game has potential, but I wish the creators would of fully tested the game before releasing it. Until then, my review will go down to 2 stars.

I love side scrolling driving physics games. Tried this one out and enjoyed the first hour or so enough to pay the $1.99. (Price of going to the arcade for 5 minutes) then came the inevitable grind of either spending hours running a course that gave minimal point rewards and placed them in areas that require you to forget about completing the level in a timely manner and are sometimes impossible to gather, or "watching" 20 minutes of ads to bank the amount of coins needed to upgrade your vehicle. After you submit to that grind you will eventually get the the mayhem levels which should actually be called Insanity "doing the same level tens or hundreds of times expecting a different result" seems that you either must get very lucky with the random physics that are imparted upon your vehicle, or submit to the paywall to buy the vehicle necessary to complete that level which is not unlockable due to the design of the vehicle unlocks. You need vehicle a to complete course b to allow for the unlock of vehicle c to complete course d, but a is only unlocked after completion of course d..........

Great graphics and effects, the grind is really fair (for purchasing cars etc) but the control is soooo frustrating I had to delete the game. When I'm attempting to beat a time or complete a course to advance and I have to fight the front wheels flying upwards and then my vehicle mysteriously exploding because my roof touches the ground I want to go outside and punch a squirrel, then find his nest and punch his entire family of baby squirrels. Then there are levels with beach balls that for some reason make you explode if they lightly touch your roof. Then there's those frikkin campers that just drop on you randomly when your making good time and you explode. What's on my roof? Is there nitro glycerin in the paint? Why am I constantly exploding? Why does the game insist on ruining the fun of the game with crappy physics and random kicks to the nards when you're doing well? I tried. I tried for longer than I should have because like a bad movie with a good idea; I wanted to enjoy it.
