Highway Racer Pro

This game is actually so good. The gameplay feels so real and the graphics are absolutely stunning. I could play this game for hours on at time, but there is a few things that could be better. Number one, the mirror button above of the steering button. The mirror button is too close to the steering buttons and I always press the steering button instead of pressing the mirror button. It could be fixed by making the mirror button bigger or moving the mirror button altogether. Number two, I think that the game will be better if there was a police chase mode or something like that and you get paid by how long you last or if you escape the cops altogether, you get an extra bonus. Other than that, the game is absolutely perfect. It’s so fun and I really love the gameplay.

It’s really good visually on the phone. Great concept lacks content. 4 similar race types time, skill, race to fixed point, race until meter depletes. They’re all similarly time involved with a slight difference with the skill race. Multiplayer is fun if people are in a lobby it’s nice to drive with others. Improvements needed is cars need to sound different as they get upgraded. My skyline sounds stock still after being fully upgraded. There is no turbo audio at all which is truly disappointing. Engine and turbo upgrades do not increase top speed which makes no sense. You can max out transmission and still lose races doing max speed but upgrade the engine and turbo and when you hit max speed you can see the opponent drop back considerably as if your now going even faster but in reality your doing the same top speed. Biggest issue I’m having is in tunnels you can barely tell if a car is in front of you or not. The tail lights of the traffic need to be brighter and maybe use colors on cars that are a little bit easier to tell apart from tunnel wall colors. A light brown car with dim tail lights looks like the tunnel wall until I’m going 212mph into their rear end. Or atleast add more lighting in the tunnels because it’s too dark to tell black green and brown cars apart from the colors and textures of the tunnels.

I’ve found that if you do not follow a certain path in game you’ll be left with a car that simply won’t cut it and your effectively stuck, without massive amounts of grinding to get back on track. In the jump from D class to C class *DO NOT USE THE EVOLVE 9!* that is given to you after completing the D class races. I found that after I invested a ton of time into grinding to upgrade that car to the max the finial race of the C class the evolve 9 simply wasn’t fast enough to pace the opponent. This being the case I tried this last race relentlessly for two days and made absolutely zero progress to even get close to winning and moving on. This left me effectively stuck in C class with a car that has hours poured into it but it simply doesn’t have a chance. I chose the restart my progress and once I got back to the C class I instead chose to spend all the money I grinded for on the 545A. I now actually had a fighting chance in the finial race and made it past the C class. The game is a blast start to finish and is an amazing game. It’s just this one thing that was a real bummer. Clearly the game is fun enough for me to throw a few days playing in the trash to keep going forward. This review is more of a cautionary tale to others so they do not find themselves in the hole I was in for a day or two.
