Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Like the drift and easy to play just rightside or left.
This is one of our favorite games of all time. The controls are smooth, the graphics amazing, and there is a lack of annoying constant ads. Love playing this game. Very very very well made. Our compliments to the chef, cause this game cooks.
Cool concept, enjoyed the gameplay. Only reason we uninstalled is that there is too many adds.
The best game we have ever played. Love the style and no ads in gameplay.
Do we even need to say BEAT GAME EVER (we wish pako car chase simulator was free tho).
We love this game, in game it looks old and the cars are stubby but they are so fun to drive around, there are 4 different modes for this game and plenty of maps! So much fun.
Ive been playing for a year and we must say its unbelievable to see people claiming that getaway driver mode is not as fun as the survival and race mode. Most likely they cant finish five jobs in getaway. This game gets exponentially more fun as your skill develop, and in getaway mode as the police cars fill the map the thrill accumulates as well, but this requires you to stay until then.
We download this out of random and we dont regret downloading this, its fun and challenging at the same time and has action.
Ive found this to be the most entertaining game for travel. It feels fresh each time we play. The controls are simple and the design is clean.
We know there are a lot of ads, people complain about it a lot, but here are their choices to make money off a game: ads, in-app purchases. Also just overall fun gameplay. Also you can just buy no ads, but thats actually supporting the devs less than just dealing with the ads.
Honestly awesome. We havent come across in game purchases or ads and its free! A good upgrade from the second game to and its would totally recommend to everyone.
Way better than the all the other versions we love how u have health now.
The thing we like best about this game is the challenge of playing to unlock cars and levels. We accidentally purchased the unlock everything option so requested a refund. After we received the refund we hoped to download the game again and purchase only the remove ads option. However, we received the refund and reinstalled the game but everything is still completely unlocked. Can you reset it for us so we can enjoy playing this game again.
Us: FASTEST BOI IM THE FASTEST BOI cops:we like ya cut g and another one Cops: WEEEEEEEE us: REEEEEEEEE.
We love this game so much, highly recommend it for anyone up for a challenge. Though the controls arent our favorite, it definitely adds to the challenge! We also love that the police cars are faster (even though sometimes it gets annoying)! Plus, you can get different and better cars which Im so happy. Its such a fun no wifi game, however we cant see why people are complaining about ads. It doesnt appear so often on our screen so Im positive its similar for others. Its not like you have to sit for 15-30 seconds watching an ad, and they dont even appear that often. Anyway back to the game, we love the graphics of it and just the artysle of it in general, gives off the cartoony but classic vibes yknow? Shared it w our brother and hes so angry he cant beat our score LOL. Game is 9/10, wildly underrated and super FUN. Thank you PAKO 3, for this epic game.
This game is awesome,this is the first time we gave a review about a game and spending time to offer this to those that didnt download it,we really enjoying it.
Liked the original pako, and this one is great too.
We are new to the PAKO series, and really enjoyed, and still happen to enjoy playing this game, in an attempt to 100% complete it. One thing is that the ads are only about 5 seconds long, which is really nice. Also, the game modes are very creative and really make the experience better, allowing us to change it up a bit every once in a while. Another thing is that it is challenging enough to where you have to get creative in each level, but with enough practice, every level can be completed. We feel like this game is a good choice for anyone if they want some challenge and a lot of fun and just need something to put some time into instead of other, worse, things. All in all, we think this game deserves a five star rating. And this is just a small list of the many things about this game that make it a superstar, although we can say there are some things like this glitch where you just fall through the world in one of the levels, we believe the first, as well as the possibility of inappropriate content in the ads. But still a great game.
Challenging, Fun, and a Encourages Improvement.
We play a lot of games (perhaps too much), either on our device or on pc. One of the most frustrating things in mobile gaming is playing a game with fun mechanics just to run into 30 second ads every minute. It kills the gaming experience. PAKO 3 does an amazing job presenting ads in a quick and in a noninvasive way. Ive never seen a game that does it better than this one. We know this is a weird feature rave about, but other games please be more like this one.
As others are saying, there isnt much utility to the beginner cars; this means you may have a v difficult time early on; but it doesnt take long to get more cars, especially when playing this casually as you get daily rewards (just whenever, there isnt some streak counter) of coins to buy cars and occasionally a new car itself. So advancement doesnt take long and you can focus on the balance of handling vs speed (health doesnt mean much for races and tends to sort itself out in other modes that provide means of healing tho the best defense is not getting hit easier said than done) despite ads being short; they can be relentless and found it easier to just pay for the game, v worth imo.
Great game. Absolutely love it! Play it all the time and enjoy it no matter what mood Im in. Nearly no ads (by nearly no we mean very few), so that makes it quite a bit better. But just one minor problem. Its too difficult. Its possible to beat, but too difficult. Thats all. Thanks.
We love this game a lot but there is a glitch where you can get stuck in the boxes in zone 3 also please make the zones game mode easier we cannot get past the 3rd level.
The game is decent but if your bad at it you will have to watch tons of adds because every 2 deaths you get you watch a game And zones and getaway driver are just terrible game modes but other than that the game is pretty good.
Very fun with many game modes and challenges but definitely not for rage quitters.
Fun to play but spending way too much time watching ads.
This game is good in all hard but fun bet when we earn 500 coins when we come on later 200 gets took away like we spent 25 minutes getting a those bad we cant get any car but ones that are 1800-15000 like how so we wish they will fix that.
This game could be very fun if it didnt take so long to get good at. But we guess thats the point to keep making you watch the ads. We like the mini worlds but its hard to get around in such a small space. Ended paying to remove the adds but will probably be over this game in a week.
This game is fun but the controls are hard to control if they made easier controls will be more fun.
Theres a real bug in the game that wont give you the final star in a level even after fulfilling the requirements. Also, we were happy to pay a few dollars to remove ads, and figured we buy the unlock everything. Didnt realize it would unlock every course and car just thought it would do more game modes. Can we get a feature to restart progress.
Why? Just why. Its so good looking and fun but just the cops are so aggressive and you have so little health its just impossible.
First of all, only 2 of the modes can be considered as actual game modes, because modes zones and getaway driver are atrocious. Zones, among many issues like being stupidly difficult and luck based, is constantly flashing bright colors a you which hurts your eyes. Getaway driver just isnt that fun either but isnt as bad as zones Secondly, most cars in the game arent worth buying because they are trash. This means that you have to try and filter through tons of new unlocked cars to find the 1 car that is actually okay. On the other hand, survival is a pretty good mode and race is amazing. The race mode makes you feel like your in a movie with cinematic turns and close calls. Its some of the most fun Ive ever had in a mobile game. This game would be much better if only race and survival modes existed and the amount of cars is trimmed.
Im serious the game just freezes on the thing that says loading right after we click start. Looks fun but actually like to enjoy it.
The game wont even get past the loading screen.
This game is just an ad farm with stupid physics. Sometimes you can smash into another car and lose no health, or you can glance a wall or another car and have half your life removed. The game is pretty fun just inconsistent and highly frustrating because of it. And the only positive about the ad farm is that theyre only 5 seconds.
Cool game, but it doesnt matter how many stars we obtain through any game mode, we seem to not be unlocking any more levels. All game modes have been stuck for months, even if we go back and complete all levels with 4 stars nothing changes.
This is nothing like the previous pako games. Feels like an in app focused version with half the substance. Also the audio breaks everytime there is an ad.
Though we find this game fun, the game is just too frustrating and unfair to play. Beginning cars have little health, so they cant take too much damage or your run is over. You also lose health anytime you ram into something, even in races. This is a problem when insanely fast cop cars are non-stop spawning as soon as you begin and these maps being way too cluttered with things that are bound to get you hit to your demise. If this game wasnt so unfair with these mechanics then maybe Id enjoy it more.
The driving camera doesnt stay behind the car when you turn. Not gonna pay for a game built to irritate us.
We wish there was a way to enjoy the same levels and features without feeling like we need to be on speed to last more than 20 seconds. More than a zen mode. We still want to be chased, just dialed down. We want to chill out sometimes. Perhaps one or 2 chilis instead of 8. Well made game, just too amped up. Id give it 5 stars otherwise. Sorry Devs, yet we still paid you for your efforts.
Id love to give this game a review but it never seems to make it past the initial loading screen. If u could give 0 stars, we would.
More ads than game, and the game is bad anyway. Even without ads it's too random and boring. Uninstalled.
It makes you starts hard and you die in 3 hits like why.
We keep trying to play this game but it always ends up getting stuck on the loading screen or the game crashes. Its not our iphone since we have a 13 so please fix.
We deleted the game fourth time its the wors we would sue this app.
We dont know why its so hard to find an enjoyable game for us we need new pills.
Might be the worst game Ive ever download, and thats saying something.
It loads up after start and freezes on loading screen not sure what it is but it doesnt open the game.
We downloaded the game and all we can do is get past the start menu then it freezes up on the loading screen then crashes.
Its difficult, we have no problem with that, however we do have a problem when we get ads every time we die.
