What Could Be Better / Limitations
- Customization is limited: many players report that parts and aesthetics options are not as flexible as fans would like. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
- Performance issues can arise on mid-range or older devices, especially in detailed zones or during heavy effects.
- Because it’s a free game, ads and in-app monetization can interrupt sessions.
- Some missions or challenges feel repetitive after you’ve played for a while.
- Stability can be inconsistent depending on device specs. Some users mention crashes. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
User Experience & Community Feedback
Reviews on Google Play highlight the game’s growth and how far it’s come since launch. Some mention bugs in specific challenge tasks (e.g. “reach top speed” missions) that persisted for months. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15} On Reddit and gaming forums, players praise the stunt and drift opportunities but caution that performance and ad interruptions are ongoing issues. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
Tips & Tricks for Best Play
- Start with easier cars and stunts to get familiar with the physics before trying the high-end machines.
- Toggle off ABS / TC / ESP when you feel confident—turning them off can yield more responsive drifting.
- Use camera angles that give you good visibility of road ahead when doing jumps or high speeds.
- Balance your upgrades—don’t overspend on performance at the cost of stability or control.
- Explore offroad zones—they often hide interesting shortcuts or stunt opportunities.
- Save before tricky missions—sometimes failure or crash bugs can make you lose progress.
Final Verdict
Extreme Car Driving Simulator is not the most polished or deep simulator out there, but it offers something many racing games don't: freedom. The ability to roam, stunt, drift, crash, and explore without rigid constraints gives it a distinct charm. With solid physics, a good car roster, and multiple options for control and visual style, it’s a title that still holds up, especially for players who want a relaxed, open experience. If your device can handle it and you enjoy experimenting with stunts and exploration, this one’s worth the drive.
