I wish it always worked

This is a deceptively simple game. It is also very addicting. When it works well, it is a joy to play. I am writing this review primarily for the Mac OS X version of this game. That seems to work flawlessly. The Mobile app for the iPad is just so frustrating. The mobile game lags, stutters and crashes periodically. In a game where precision and timing are key, that messes things up in a major way. It always seems to happen when I am on a huge winning streak or in a very key race. It stutters and stops or quits and I end up needing to start all over again.

The OS X version flies and I have not had one problem with it, as of yet. Of course, the OSX version does not have some of the bells and whistles of the mobile version. There is no “watching ads” to get free gas or anything else. But it just WORKS, which is very refreshing.

I use this on a fast Macbook Air and it works great for me.

The mobile version has issues on my iPad 2. But then there are times when it works GREAT. The cynic in me wants to say that it is programmed into the game and designed to make you pay for upgrades, etc. If the mobile version worked like the OS X version does, it too would get a 5 star rating. The game is fun.

As long as you are patient, you do not need to spend 1¢ to play. If you are not patient, you could spend all kinds of money on upgraded cars and stats.
