This being a
drag racing game .Today I have been shear the download link of CSR Racing game
for Android phone . There is no steering necessary in this game. At first I
thought of this as a negative aspect; I usually prefer full-on race titles such
as EA is Real Racing series .
However,
that is not the kind of game CSR is trying to be . It is not trying to
replicate a console experience here. It just wants to be a fun game . Only
having to shift gear and inject NOS Nitrous Oxide, once unlocked
makes it a very playable mobile game. There is no need to be ultra focused or
willing to dedicate hours of your time to reach the good parts. And that is a
great feature, considering the fact that the mobile racing genre lacks good
playable games .
The crews are cheesy and stereotypical:
The
characters however are very cheesy . Most racing games tend to go for the
street gangs and their racing cred but CSR takes this to a whole new level .
Introducing factions and cliche punchlines after you win or lose a race .
Encouragement while advancing through the different areas and rank levels is
obviously a good way to track the game progression . I just wish I did not have
to cringe every time . I finish a race .
Customize your car:
On the
positive side The car selection and customizations in CSR are awesome . As you
progress you unlock in game currency to buy new cars and customize them . Most
main manufacturers are represented such as BMM , Ford and Pagani with all of
their best cars . You can select your colour when purchasing a new car . Then
upgrade the exhausts , suspension and so on .
This is a
free game but to a large extent the car unlocking and customization is reliant
on real world and money purchases . But if you do not mind driving a stock car
a while longer . You can grind your way to making more in game currency by
racing more .
Strike the gas and change gears at the right time :
To get off
to a good start .. You must tap the accelerator to have the car at optimum revs
when the green light shows . This is the only point you use the accelerator .
It is really hard to get it right and can often be the deciding factor in a
close race . The ideal rev range changes for each car so the more you advance
the harder this gets .
Gear changes
too are different for each car . Although can largely be determined thanks to
lights on the UI indicating when to change gear . And finally , NOS gives your
car an extra boost when needed and has saved me from quite a few close
encounters .
Visuals and Sounds :
As I
mentioned above . The graphics in CSR are highly impressive . If we look at
just the cars . you can see a high amount of detail . Particularly on the
wheels and the gloss paint reflecting the city is lights . And since they are
based on real world cars . The game is designers had to model them closely to
achieve perfection and that they did .
The
environment is stunning too . The camera is somewhat restricted for drag racing
but you can still see great truing on the background and attention to detail in
the city is buildings . In general menus and info panes are also very well
presented . There genuinely is not a single visual alteration I would make to
this game.
Awesome attention to detail by the designers :
Unfortunately
, things do not hold up so well in the audio department. The first minor
annoyance is the music . Most racing games at least buy the rights to some
audio tracks . However obscure or less well known . CSR has gone for techno
junk that repeats itself over and over again . It gets annoying fast . Sound
effects are no gift from heaven either .
Final Thoughts :
If you have
an older Android device then you are out of luck . Because CSR Racing simply
will not run well on it . The graphics are so good that you need to be using
the latest devices for the game to play smoothly . But if you are unsure of
your device is performance . you might as well download it to try because it is
totally free .
I found
myself really enjoying CSR Racing even though I initially assumed that I would
not . The developers have paid a lot of attention to detail . Which is unusual
for a free game . I had no force closures and found no bugs . Overall CSR is a
very entertaining game that is a must have for racing fans . But do not expect
to settle back and play it for hours on end . Instead you will enjoy a drag
race or two for ten minutes and then go back to the real world . Which is what
casual Android gaming is all about .
