CSR Racing – Mobile Need for Speed Ripoff or Solid Competitor?

CSR Racing is a free to play racing game by NaturalMotion Games and Boss Alien. It’s available on iOS, OS X, and Android.

Racing games can be a lot of fun, whether you are crashing into cars just to get ahead, or hitting that nitrous to blast past the competition, and CSR Racing is no different. Crashing in particular is easy, as the races are drag and you just hit the gas and GO!

This game has decent graphics for a mobile game. The detail is great, from the car textures to the lighting, as well as the audio being top notch.

CSR Racing offers multiple modes, such as racing against yourself and against AI opponents. There are many ways to earn money, which is used to purchase cars and upgrades. There is a Crew Battle mode where you race against a whole slew of crew members finally getting to the boss race. There is a Challenge Mode and Daily Battles which you can only do 3 times per day.

Multiplayer is another feature of CSR Racing. You can spend money to enter a lobby where if you manage to get a win streak you are awarded “cards” which can contain various upgrades.

One of the game’s downsides is the fuel system. You have limited fuel, and once you run out you have to either pay real money or wait real time for it to refill to continue racing.

Another problem with the game is that there is little skill involved, as racing consists of tapping the screen at the correct moments rather than actually driving. While this may annoy racing fans, it helps the game to be a lot more accessible.

Overall great casual racing game, with nice graphics and fun game modes. But don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself!
