Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive tried redownloading this game like 3 times and every time we get the personalized ads question the screen goes black and nothing happens.. Disappointed.
This game is what you see in the memories category of every tierlist, back in its prime nothing could separate us and this game, but sadly nothing ever lasts forever, so enjoy your moment.
This game has made us and our friend enjoy it for being itself, this game makes us laugh, makes us talk about it, rating all the cars in different ways, this game is just peak fiction.
We recently got the pro pass but sometimes our daily and season missions dont work properly. Say an air challenge like keep a vehicle in the air for 1,500 seconds. Our time wont accumulate. Not sure why but you guys do a great job and Im sure itll get patched in an update.
Gotten worse as ive played way different when we got it on our phone (when we were 5) we wasnt flooded with payment offers and less adds unlimited cars too! They ruined it but fun to play every now and again.
Devs this game is js elite ball knowledge and just peak.
This game is just incredible, we forgot about it for a bit, but now Im back and the game is better than ever, it has the classic gameplay, alongside some other new things! Im loving the star arena, the events, everything! The one thing we would like is for the dinosaur star arena to come out.
As many other people said, we have also been playing this game for a while and at least in the past few weeks we have noticed some buggs in the game. One of them happens when we try to start the 2 player mode, it start as usual nad after a few seconds we resets like if the round had been reset. Another one is similar to this and happens, again in the 2 player mode, that the controls do not respond. Apart from other small ignorable buggs the game is overall made good.
We seem to have encountered an error. We played the old version a long time ago and unlocked some vehicles. Now we log in to the game now, and our data information is still 50% unlocked, but we have nothing in the game, like a novice.
The core gameplay hasnt changed in the last 5 years, and we believe is simple but fun, but Im quite sad to have lost all the cars and progress we once had. At one point we had just about everything unlocked we believe, yet the revamp and mobile gamification (as in adding adds tons of in game purchases, a battle pass, the usual shady stuff) seems to have taken our car inventory along with it. Still fun to play for nostalgia but with how simple the game is it gets old quick, and we are more upset than Id like to admit that the only thing left from when we once played this game are some of the Game Center achievements.
When your playing offline and you pick a car and the ai bot cars are always smaller cars and not random ehen you pick random they pick a category inside the tiny when we usually do stuff so please fix it cuz ah its Annoying we want to fight actual random car bots not a exact category of cars we memorized.
You dont even have to take out the pay 2 win faction just make the boxes give better loot, make better boxes, give cars win goals or challenges that help unlock parts, give coins after a win or wins. Also allow us to play alongside friends not just against them.
Lots of ads and way to many things that you have to pay for (the og game was so much better).
We like this game and This game is the most fun game we have ever played in our life whole life.
He has like zero ads we love it. You have to drive in a car and beat the other player and its so much fun.
So in the modern world tanks have turrets so we thought remake the tank with a gun truck shooter like a multi turret this would be legendary or a army jeep with a drone that shoots 3 bullets every 3 seconds this would be epic.
We have always loved this game but it seems money matters more than a good fun game nowadays we recently put our girlfriend on to this game and im just a little bit upset that the multiplayer 1v1 mode it only allows you to use like 5 different cars and it gets boring and repetitive when back then we used to be able to use our whole collection to 1v1 if there is one thing yall could do could you please make it so we arent just limited to those cars and we can use our whole collection please?? We love drive ahead so much this is just our only wish.
Right now Im on the beach one and it requires 400 pointes and we have 600 and we cant move on. Besides that its a great game.
We really used to enjoy this game but we stopped playing for a while and came back to find out they added passes and made the whole layout really confusing, Id love if they could make a separate mode for those of us who enjoyed how fun and simple it was when it first released.
Returning player here. Its been such a long time since we played. We loved this game back in peak mobile gaming days. However, it has gotten a bit infested with the micro transactions and ads. But with the season pass its not a terrible deal. Our main gripe is just how buggy it is lately. The free ride Ive gotten legendary parts +40 before and then in the garage none of those parts showed up to upgrade our buggy. We thought we mightve misread but we just had an epic car in the free ride reward do the same exact thing. Also, Ive had king of the hill glitched for the longest time where we click it the screen is black. Or times where a notification pops up on our screen and then our driving controls become completely unresponsive. Currently im also on the beach arena and it says for arena points we have 4000+/500 required for the next one. If this is the final one then we feel the communication could be a lot better. The spinning wheel too becomes tedious now that we have fully upgraded the rare tentabot and uncommon tripod cars. They should just become coins in the wheel slot. Quality of life we feel like needs a lot of love in this game.
Hey drive ahead developers. Love the game and have been playing it for such a long time. However, we noticed something. We noticed that sometimes when we play against a computer, the computer will have the motocross, the tiny ski, or some other low protection car. Theres about 4-5 cars the computer will cycle through, never reaching a good car. Has anyone else noticed this? Drive ahead devs please read.
This game was so much fun even now we used to play it with our brother he loved the game aswell the memories.
Bro this bring some many memories it good to see this game.
We used to play this game when we were abt 8 or 9 and we loved it. We would never get bored and we were so hooked. Im 19 now and it just brings back so many memories of our childhood, so we wanna say thank you for making our childhood better.
Ive been playing this game for like five years now, and we still play it to this day, so thank you SO much for providing a great, fun gaming experience! The thing is though, whenever we try to go to King Of The Hill to test cars (thats what we use to test car abilities), it just shows the background of when you click on your crew, which is a bunch of cars battling each other like its king of the hill but cars keep spawning. You also cant click out of it, and when we went to the shop and went back out, it just showed a black screen. Do you guys know whats wrong with it? Lemme know! Great game regardless.
This game is amazing Its so nostalgic for us we remember fighting our sister over it in our little apartment every weekend.
Car infrastructure in the world.
We really really wish you would change these in the game, every time Im in the air or whatnot, our cat starts to flip so that it lands on the ground which really messes us up and we dont think the feature has benefitted us whatsoever, also please make the game a little easier to progress in and get cars, and lastly, please try to add more sudden deaths and only put one in affect at a time (some new powers for the 2 player woudl also be cool) and make it a little easier to get maps, thanks for reading and hope you change these things.
We have forgotten how amazing this game is.
The gameplay is fun but the difference between levels sometimes makes it really unfun.
Hey so instead of putting us in matches with players car levels being 7 and have 2000 trophies, while we have level 2 cars and 400 trophies maybe you should fix that devs hmm we wonder.
Yooo we played this game so much and got so much nostalgia from this game and we used to play it everyday on our old ipad, sadly it doesnt work anymore but it atleast got to put in very good use with this game. It would run so well and so smooth! The game was super fun either way and we lowkey miss this game (Im downloading this on our phone while im typing this).
This game was so good back then and it still is recommend it.
We really like the game its good but in player 2 mode maps spawn in each other over and over and the same with a new map glitched in it and same the same disaster resulting in a tie a lot and double cars spawn when one of each team should have one car.
We really love drive ahead Ive been playing since we were 3 and now Im 12 but the thing we hate is how a game takes control of your car like we dont want you controlling our car we want us to control our car but other than that really love this game.
We love this game us and our cousin play all the time when were around each other. Were on vacation. You know its a great game and its a really recommended game.
We loved this game, it was our childhood, but then ads started showing up, which we didn't mind because the developers deserve monetization Then the limited time events started showing up, and we thought they were neat! The only downside is that we got cars that when our account got deleted we'll never get our hotwheels cars back alongside our other limited edition cars that we worked hard for. Then the micro-transactions were pushed to the front, a battle pass was introduced which heavily incentivized paying for it just to get that legendary car Then it happened again, repeatedly, and we wouldn't mind a purchase if it was a one time thing and not a subscription, like a "Additional Battle Pass Purchase" that's even like 20$ or something for access to all future battle passes And just- we're scared this game is losing its vision, we're concerned what the game is becoming, and we're worried that our childhood is warping under greed. However, despite our gripes and concerns we do have suggestions and words we would like to say 1. You could bring it to steam, or/and make the game pay to play rather than pay for premium (like put a 30-40$ price tag on the steam version of the game but remove the paid battle pass and the ads, that way you still can monetize the game and support the devs without having to deal with the game's biggest issue) 2. To the developers and the team, thank you for creating this game, no matter where you take it we are forever indebted to you for the amazing wonderful you brought to our childhood. From what we can tell based off the fact you still acknowledge and respond to reviews and you try to improve it as you can we think you care about the game, as such we say keep fostering that passion, we have no doubt you will be the foundation for many more childhoods than just us. Keep being wonderful <3.
We completely forgot about this game it reminded us of the times where we didnt care what other people thought of us we dont even know what to say Im sad to say there have been too many updates and we lost interest 5 years back but we have came back to realize that we had a great time playing the game and besides all the updates and stuff it brought us back and thats whats important about this game its nostalgia and happiness it gave us is beyond anyone can imagine thank you thank you thank you for letting us go back in time and realize who we are. Im gonna cry.
We love this game we just like taking our anger out on the cars in the game and we like that we can play with our friends all day.
We love this game, but we have all the arena points for summer splash and it will not let us go to the next level. If they fix this 5 stars fs.
Micro Transaction and Ad riddled. Supercell-ified the game. Its lowkey not as satisfying to play anymore.
And + its a really really nice multiplayer game + fun events.
We love the game and the 5 years playing it but the ads are just HORRIBLE and LONG like 2 MINUTES and so we stopped playing it.
When playing in the battle mode sometimes if you click play again it will give you an ad but still load you into matchmaking this is usually not a problem but sometimes it will effect the outcome of the game otherwise great game.
Why do the places where text is displayed in the game become many squares? We mean, there is a bug in the text display. We like this game very much. We hope to make a change.
Yeah you have is awesome and really good food to play no wonder it has like a bunch of stores so Im gonna give you 11 stars for this.
This game is the best and so nostalgic we love it we love it we love it we love it you dont understand how much we love it.
Ive been playing for 20 minutes now and its so good.
This is an amazing game. Its very entertaining and every world is fun but we have just one problem sometimes the game will start while Im watching an ad and Ill lose trophies if theres anyway you can prevent this or change this, we would very much appreciate it.
