CarX Street

Garbage.

Rating 2/10.

If you enjoy tandem drifting and Initial D inspired touge racing, this game has it all. Forget about the campaign and shitty grind and go get WEMOD and join the C4 Lobby. WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

really good game!
i can play it with 40 fps with maxed out graphics with my ryzen5 2600 and my 6gb 2070 and the graphics are just kinda awesome!

this game is MASSIVELY cpu based and didnt work at the beginnign (i was able to drive some km but thenit would lag extremely and it would be unplayable with 2 fps but when you do the tutorial everything kinda goes smooth af!)
rlly good game in the short term lol

A waste of time and (in game) money.

This game is a slog to play. The game play loop is unbearably grindy and unsatisfying. The only parts that aren't a grind to get through (the class races) are annoyingly hard and require a maxed out car for that rank with expensive tires to even be competitive on easy. The lack of a rewind mechanic also wastes Your time. One mistake or unlucky moment forces you to restart the race to even have a chance to win. Also your car can stall out and depending on your car's power it can take up to 30 seconds to restart your car.

Unranked races are even worse. They feel like they are meant to be done with top class cars, unless you're fine with abysmal payouts. Free drifts at low rank are unfun and frustrating. The lack of power and the microscopic areas you have to drift in make it plain unfun to do. Not helping is the fact that drift stabilization cannot be fully turned off. Even if you do okay you make little to no money and xp is basically nill.


It takes hours to make any decent money in the game and it disappears quickly. EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY. Whatever you do in game you feel like you're wasting money. You have to pay for gas and tires to be able to drive your car. If you're buying regular gas and the cheapest tires that's at least 3 races of work. If you wanna be competitive though you’ll be paying over 20,000 for gas and tires (more than some cars). Just driving around casually you are wasting money as tires wear out and you burn gas in free roam. Unless you're racing you're wasting money. On top of that selling cars costs you at least 1500 because you can’t sell directly from your storage. You can only sell from the garage app which costs 1500 to access each time. You have to spend money just to enter a mod shop either by wasting gas and tires to drive there, spending money to fast travel there or paying every time you use the mod shop app. Due to the fact that you can only adjust your car settings at a shop, you have to pay multiple times to dial in your car's settings or just deal with it.

This game has the grind of a mobile game despite being a single purchase title. It needs to be massively rebalanced for pc. Until then I can not in good faith recommend it.

Underrated. I don't believe this game deserves "mixed" ratings... anymore at least. The team has clearly put a lot of effort into the map and graphics. Would love to see more cars "rare" cars that you don't see in other racing games like the Toyota Crown wagon and ford falcon series and even some more Holdens... maybe I'm bias because I'm Aussie. Anyway, great game worth your money and time.

Handling is Horrible and The Game full of AI slop

I got the game on sale for my nieces to have a free roam arcade style racing game to use with my sim. The game has a lot of potential but its also got a lot of problems. Its very poorly optimized and no matter what settings or resolution I have the game set to, the fps drops from 60 to 30 constantly on my nieces 6800xt. The cars feel super slow too and 100mph feels like your going 20 in any other game. And you have to constantly use the keyboard for simple stuff because it won't let you enter a race or anything with the wheel.

I don't recommend it right now but if they can at least fix the stuttering, I would.

Holy understeer batman

Every car has the turning radius of a planet, especially anything over 30mph. Worst physics I've ever seen in an arcade racing game, I'd even take NFS Unbound's physics over this. Anyone who has read my review on that game will know how much I hated it, so that speaks for itself. Borderline unplayable.

no Drafting mechanic. it downshifts when using nitro in auto. and No "Drive every road achievement."

... I'm sorry, but if you wanna prominently use characters or even just incidental voice lines, I'd prefer non-AI voicelines. Hell, even just amateur voice acting can be great. Just look at some of the absolute cheese fests of some NFS entries.

Beyond that, the driving felt... I dunno, I cannot put it into the right words, but it just felt wrong... maybe will try it again later.

It's an arcade racing game, no police chases, car handling very arcade like NFS.
Pros :
- Cars have a lot of customization
- World design is beautiful, You can explore urban streets, highways, touge.
- No microtransaction (as far as I've played), and it's not grindy as the mobile version.
- Can adjust traffic density

Cons:
- Worse online server, I'm stuck on "connecting..." when go online
- Poor car physics
- Uncomfortable camera movement.
- Worse AI, still too easy to beat even on Hard difficulty.
- No car license, no any car brands here, everything uses other names like NX5 (mazda mx5), HC6 (Honda civic).
- AI generated voice over, AI Generated images asset, and maybe even the script & sound engine generated by AI?
Games in my opinion, are a combination of various creative human arts from music, visuals, narrative/story, design, voice acting, etc. I don't like AI as art and generative AI is not art.

I know it's an budget indie game ported from mobile.
with these pros & cons, not recommended.

I've played since day one. The performance is terrible. Has always been terrible. One look at a performance overlay will tell you that this game is not pushing your hardware to its fullest. I can turn my graphics settings up all the way or down all the way, very little difference and my graphics card is never at its full 100w when it definitely should be without a doubt. Not bottlenecked by any hardware. They did end up fixing the stutters but other than that the performance has never gotten better. After the latest 1.5.0 update if you move the camera fast in 3rd person the frame-rate plummets.

The Game Still Needs Alot Of Improvement.

The TAA Anti-aliasing literally looks like the screen is coated with vaseline, and other AA are as good as nothing at 1080p ( THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED), and the objects and stickers on car shimmers and waves as you steer the car.
Fps are uper unstable still.
Online mode are shit and empty. Traffic cars are repetitive, No new car design on road.
Car weights are weird, car collision are weird too seems like a toy car the way it jumps.
Weird forceful breaking sound,sounds like my car need service.( Who ever idea was it to put the break noise on every car should get fired).

Game is optimised TERRIBLY. I built the highest end system i could to play Star Citizen (Incredibly demanding game) and this game's micro stutters and overall frame rate is the worst i have ever played. What a waste of money and time trying to fix it to no avail.

Over all really polished game, keep updating and listening to the community and it will lead your dev team too your dreams

Its basically just a port of the mobile game but without the microtransactions. If youre looking for a racing game, just go to forza, it is way better than whatever this is. The third person camera is awful and the movement of the cars just so janky. It adds barely anything that other games dont have. Also the online experience is far from great. Overall, I do not recomend this game at all, if you bought it, get a refund. Also, these devs lack any taste in vehicle modifications, id rather be blind that looks at the poorly customized cars they give you at the beginning.

Absolutely great game, has a more NFS arcade feel to the game which i love. The Car customisation is Awesome. this game in my opinion is better Than TDUSC and The Crew even with the less advanced graphics. CarX the city is vibrant, racing is fun and doesn't feel repetitive like TDUSC. With some more more serious tweaks and developments this game has the potential to be AAA Game like NFS easily and this is coming from someone who has played every nfs game for the last 25 years. props to the devs for continuously working hard and making the game better with each day.

Side Note: Game has undergone many changes since launch imo any bad reviews previously are Null DYOR

One of the worst games i have ever played. The physhics are terrible, it runs like garbage, on a decent pc i can only get 50fps on the lowest settings. Dont waste your money on this game.

most dissapointig piece of trash garbage dogshit game
the camera movement is want you to womit, (i got headace from it)
the difficulty of the game is all over the place, the drift events ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO
the optimalization , (u wont be suprised) garbage. i7-13600, 4070, doing 70fps at the lowest graphic (so the game looks like it's folded from card boxes) at 1080p
no story at all, sometimes u got random ai pictures above the oppontent, trying to be "bosses"
devs if u use fucking AI voice lines at least listen to them ONCE before u put it in the game

all of this is after devs moving release date a lot
and they saying: "we've completely reworked in-game balance for the PC version of the game" XDDDDDDDDDD
joke
only buy if discounted to $0.10, it's not worth more

this is a good one. kinda frustrating sometimes, but overall an amazing car game. nfsu/nfsu2 vibes for sure. im actually forking over some cash for the dlc because it really is that good. havent even touched online play yet either.

one of my favorite car games and the price make it even better. drifting for hours on end with randoms in tandem is so much fun

Love it although the drifting could be a bit hard to master also the money is a grindfest

it's far from perfect, there are some annoying issues and "design choices", but it IS good fun.. and it is a decent challenge, especially when it comes to trying to tame the higher spec vehicles... and there are a lot of them at that! each with their own unique quirks.

the vehicle handling model is decent, not sim-levels of realism, but you do need to understand what happens to cars in dips and over crests to keep control.. and while it is able to benefit from a proper 900 degree wheel, it's also just as playable with a keyboard.

all round, it's just good fun, while not being utterly mindless.. as games should be.

everything is money grind grind grind for shit hp cars probly a fun game if you didnt have to spend hours to get a basic fast car just pure crap i stress alot about money in real life whytflip should i have to stress in flippin game

carx drift nailed it played that for loong time this one just isnt fun to much its about getting more money

after more hours of playing the game is great to drive in the but dont buy this game unless you like grinding for piles of seaming poo havent found a car over a 1000hp
how can it be a street game with no fast cars

The game has its moments where its genuinely fun, especially in the beginning, however the physics in this game are absolutely terrible. Almost every car feels extremely understeer-y, most cars seem to have an issue passing 180 (which will be important later), the traffic ai are GTA 5 levels of aggressive (especially the damn semi's) and if your car is one of those few vehicles like the EG hatch, which was AWD swapped, and doesnt seem to understeer and drive like a dream, your car is most likely limited to a very low top speed. The tuning does help quite a bit, but no amount of tuning seems to get rid of the understeer feeling most cars get. And then theres this race with a G wagon.... Oh my god...

I was driving a 70 something porsche, which made pretty good power and helped me get pretty far in the game without too much trouble. This G wagon though? Bro. This guy must have Elon on speed dial because this damn thing had a rocket strapped to its ass, and the suspension was tuned and modified by a top f1 team, because this god damned thing flew! I mean there was no hope for my little porsche to even hope to compete, yet oddly enough the game thinks this is a suitable rival for me. Let me put it to you this way, I crashed that sumbitch into an apartment complex, an oncoming semi, a construction site, several bus stops, and a parking garage, and this bastard still kept coming! Not just coming, HE WAS GAINING!! This G wagon was like the juggernaut of cars! HE FLIPPED THE SEMI!!! HE FLIPPED IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING AND IT HARDLY SLOWED HIM DOWN!!! WTF!?

Oh did i also forget to mention most races in the city are largely straight aways? Did I also forget to mention the ai seem to have no trouble flying past 200mph while your stuck at 180 in some of the lower level classes? Also multiple people mentioned the mass of the ai drivers seeming almost infinite? Well, thats partly true. You can still crash the ai, as observed in the above paragraph when I raced the literal fucking terminator trying to catch john conner (me...). It absolutely WILL become necessary later on, however you run the risk of understeering into a traffic cone at 45mph and sending your car into the stratosphere. That happened to me more times than I care to count.

this was basically my experience in a nutshell. You want a good and fair arcade racing game? Get Tokyo extreme racer.

I will say this though, the game has probably some of the best customization I've seen in recent memory. Still doesn't help the game with its awful physics. Another pro about this game is that the traffic doesnt seem to discriminate. These motherfuckers are out for blood, it doesn't matter who's, as long as they get their fill, which leads to the AI sometimes feeling the wrath of a 5 ton semi in a head on collision.

TLDR; game physics ass, cars understeer-y, traffic AI super aggressive, G wagon driven by the literal devil himself

If youre a car guy this game is your wet dream.

Imagine nfs underground with a simulator vibe. The range of cars is huge. The level of tuning you can do to your cars is amazing.

You can tune power band, boost levels, diff and tranny ratios, the complete suite of suspension geometry, tyres and braking.

I played this with a basic sim rig setup, when you first start out the cars are quite streetable with traction, as you progress you find yourself fighting the wheel more as they turn more into a track orientated car. The car physics are on par with the leading sim titles.

You have to work for your mods and cars, if you want a drift car early on you have to buy a car and do the mods to make it drift. Same goes for a decent track car with violent launches or all the grip around the corners.

The city you drive around is decent. about the size of los santos. Decent roads to free roam.

My only gripe is some race options are limited when online mode. Cant rate this game enough though.

Buy it!

This is basically just a cheaped-out version of Need for Speed, where the team behind the game, just wanted to squeeze as much time out of you as possible, with as little content as possible. For example: If you manage to get into the "Club races", with your Class 1-car, it'll be the same races on 5-10 "maps" like 30 or 40 times, or however many it takes to complete the 15 milestones, and you CAN'T upgrade the parts of the car, so that it exceeds Class 1, and proceed with the same races. In other words: Even though you get access to better parts, you're basically NOT allowed to use them in your car. And I know what you're thinking... so what's the point of it then? To give you the idea that you're progressing in the game, but in reality you're playing the same races over and over again, without any progression to your car whatsoever.

And that's just the progression system. Don't even think that the bare physics in this game are much better. Jesus, just the acceleration alone is enough to put me to sleep... AFTER supposedly upgrading parts of the engine to the "max". And if you try drifting without Racing tyres, you're gliding straight into the unknown. And if you accidently hit the pavement at like 30 mp/h, you're doing wheelies. But if you accidently do it at 60 mp/h, you're fucked... like you'll go flying.

So no.... even at 17,59 €, this game still ain't worth it. I know that they say that this game is basically "a work in progress", but NOT even the base of the game is done right, so don't waste your money, time or energy on this game. Buy Need for Speed: Heat or something like that instead. At least you get some decent progression in that game. I mean, most of what's in this game is basically based on Need for Speed, anyway.

Honestly you need to give this game a fair chance. In my personal experience I actually really did not enjoy the game for the first 50 hours- hopping on and off randomly. The mechanics seemed to lack refinement like Car x Drift and there was lackluster content. It seemed. Eventually I got involved in the community and the game completely changed for me. The mechanics became super fun to play and tune once I learned the adjustments and what they do. This game could seriously use some more love from the developers, and the community. This is the best 20$ I have spent in a long long time. I gave it a chance and you should too. The learning curve is not as bad as it seems, and its worth your time once you do master it :)

didnt enjoy the time i spent on it low traffic constant frame drops and the driving didnt feel very good considering im paying for a glorified mobile game that has ai voices i refunded it and dont regret it

love the game its the best race game ive played in ten years! the massive let down is spending gold coins on engine swaps and not being able to pick and choose your engines when you wanna up class are down class, the fact that you have to use gold coin to purchase parts for the engine and then lose every single part when you switch engines is a massive let down! let us keep the engine with parts and just charge me 20k are something too switch out my 20 hour engine ive built grinding gold coins because the gold coin grind is too much! at least balance the gold coin payout its far too low, ive played 100 hours up to now and love the game purchased all dlc but this issue with not keeping my engines to the spec they was and having to re purchase everything with gold coins if i decide i dont like the setup is pulling me away from playing the game.

The thing thats basiclly a story mode sucks ass worst i have ever seen fav car locked behind collectables thats annoying and over all badly made

its like nfs heat, but bad, the launch was trash cuz the servers didnt work, the game looks horrible and runs even worse on a decent system 5600x and 6700xt

Bought this when the deluxe version said it included the speedway but lucky me i bought it the day after they decided to give it to anyone that had bought it the 29th (i bought it the 30th and it still said that sunset speedway was included) but magically devs said it wasnt included and tried blaming steam what a crock of bs,

not to mention the other bs with the game and now you're introducing more dlc after the fact whatever happened to having an edition that includes EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN THE GAME!!!!!

The game is a 4/10 but the awful controls make it even worse. Do not buy this game,

I bought the game knowing it would be somewhat bad because all games at the start suck, but this game especially the start is horrible. Its incredibly hard to get better upgrades because you need to level up to get better ones. And the AI absolutely sucks in races. Its like they don't have eyes and they only know the track because they ram into you a lot, especially if your in their line which isn't even the fastest line in pretty much every track. Braking distance also doesn't really make sense in this game, because every time you restart a race your tires get worn out and you have to adjust which is hard. Another thing about the AI is that every time they crash into a car, they're completely fine, they stay straight and they don't lose much speed, but when you do, you lose all your speed and your car makes a new world record for 360s. From my 3.4 hours of playing this game, I would not recommend this to other people coming from other popular games like Forza. Instead of buying this game I would get Assetto Corsa, which I would've gotten but I didn't know it was better. The customization in this game is great tho, better than Forza, except the colors.

not sure why all the mixed reviews i mean there are things to work on but for the most part i enjoy it i love the customization options the only thing is the turbo and BOV sound is pretty much non existent id like to hear it when its fully upgraded atleast make it sound like car x drift racing other than that i like it

Very quick refund.

Almost every new update is a PAID DLC.
Physics, all around bad. Floaty, and heavy at the same time.
Not enough content whatsoever. Be it cheaper cars, interiors, side activities, etc.

If they stopped milking their players and gave more love to the PC versions of their games, I think this would have gone better.

not buying any more dlcs until the ai is fixed. never experienced such dogshit ai. its like iracing in rookie league... I get rammed whatever i do., but if i even try to touch the ai their cars weigh 10 tonnes compared to my cardboard box car. nice

make the game good ? xD the first game is alot better, why make the 2 so bad ?

CarX Street's handling is atrocious. Twenty minutes was more than enough. The racing lines and braking indicators are completely off, and every car feels like a dragster with two bicycle wheels on the front. Forget about taking any corner without slowing to a walking pace or tuning your car into a drift build. The available car selection is tiny; I couldn't find any of my three real-life cars, and even if I could, they'd almost certainly be locked behind paid, janky DLC. A complete waste of time.

Never fixes anything, proceeds to release DLCS, Driving Feels worse than CarX Drift. doing anything but drifting is just horrible and you constantly slide even in Front wheel drive

AI are too aggressive no matter if they are on the side or behind, multiple times losing races due to them ramming on a u-turn and tight turns overall and even worse when they attempt overtaking

its a good game but the AI need serious attention to

Game is fun to just drive around and drift. Not much holding our attention though

This is what Forza Horizon should have been like i feel like ive made a worthy investment def slower paced racing (at least where im at) its just funky to get use to the drift mechanics since its just like mobile Fh5+NFS Heat= CarX Street... just be ready to grind a bit

dont add (essential) features, fix bugs or optimization, we need more useless dlc's yeeeeee. game's not even close to be finished but first things first pump paid dlc's.

Game runs worse than FH5 with worse graphics, just get a different game, its just a mobile game ported to PC

Great game but too many paid DLCs. I didn't expect every new update would be a paid DLC since I've already paid for the game and also purchased the two previous DLCs cmon guys you can do better than that.

Game was pretty good its first few months (except for the grind), now the devs don't know what they're doing anymore. Drifting is probably the most enjoyable part of the game (tandems online was peak for me) but now you got P2W DLC for that (gives you more angle on the DLC cars) and a lousy map DLC that could've been added for free. They are focusing more on diving further into the wallets of their remaining player base than trying to get news sales. In the long run its going to kill this game if not already. Im not going to go into the horrible AI that has had problems since launch. this game couldve been so good but was killed by its greedy devs.

Fun game. still needs a lot of work on areas, and maybe add some offroad racing like a rally themed racing and builds. also some tweaks for us casuals like difficulty settings. other then that drifting feels nice and fun in a game for once, and i love having a wicked fast "dodge" van.

I absolutely love this game. It has unmatched car customization, amazing cars, and the developers actually listen to the community. Oustanding game.
