The game is awesome

This is a review of some of the reviews to be seen by the Devs. The game is great, “realistic” wait times will only have you waiting a maximum of 2 hours. You’ll be fine. Just do the campaign races that give you 40k+ when you finish the challenges and you can pay for the wait time. Overall you’re spending like 75k on a full build instead of everything being priced $2,000 a part and the car costing you 100k+. Also look into sponsors challenges for quick cash. And dont take away the “parts” style you guys have. I love how everything needs to be unlocked piece by piece. I’ve noticed that when you have a game that used a money based unlocking parts method then you can just use real money to buy fake money and build a car and then you get bored and move to the next car and then you feel bad for spending real money on fake money and then you stop playing. the “dice roll” style parts acquisition is perfect, it makes you kinda gamble on if you’ll get it. Overall, I read the reviews and some of these suggestions are just whiny, petty, quick solutions that aren’t taking into account anything important. You guys have created the Battlefield 6 of racing games and some people want to play a new Black Ops 7 style game. They can find it somewhere else because it’s not here. Good job Developers, you’re doing great👌🏽🙏🏼

AI, penalties and connection

I think the game is great, i love how you can tell just how much work was put into it. Grinding is neither too easy or unnecessarily difficult. Id say the only issue i face is just how exact, or perfect each race needs to be due to the requirements put into them, and the drivers you race against(for campaign). Im about 90% done with the campaign, and the 10% is due to unbelievably insane expectations for the player. For example, in some races, the only way to successfully compete against the driver or one up them, is to drive ahead of them or get really close. But then you’re hit with the fair, and just, penalty for overtaking, and collision. I see and understand how these penalties for players are necessary, however, when the ai driver is able to pull insane racing lines, no adjustments, no decrease in speed, and no tire spin after exiting a drift zone(giving them an unfair speed boost) it makes trying to go against those penalties the only option. Next is the deceleration penalty. Its a completely understandable penalty. Except when youre going 130kmh into tight 180, where the only option is to slow down. Like what am i supposed to do? Lastly, i think the most important thing to me is offline play. Why do i need connection to play campaign?

An amazing title

It’s the third generation of the CarX Drift series. CarX Technologies offers a host of other titles, primarily in different forms of racing (street and rally). The game builds on the CarX 2 formula and introduces a number of improvements, most notably full body damage and new in‑house licensed audio tracks. The audio is decent — not the best, but far from the monotonous drone heard in the older CarX 2 title, and it even features actual vocals. The game is still unfinished however. It expands on features from previous titles while falling short in several small areas. They’re minor issues, admittedly, but they stack. With a single‑player campaign reminiscent of Gran Turismo’s driving school, a decal editor with 150 layers, and more tuning options than you’d expect without at least a mechanic’s education, it’s an astounding game — absolutely phenomenal. Cars handle the way you would expect. Earning parts and repairing vehicles are more or less balanced with a bit of clever decision‑making. Everything is fully achievable, able to be earned and upgradable without spending a dime - limited only by player capability. There are no other drift titles that meet the high standards CarX 3 sets. Keep in mind, however, that it’s still largely incomplete. Keep up the hard work, CarX Technologies, and finish your title — for there are still more turns to drift and more tires to burn.

Fantastic Game, But it Needs Some Tweaks

2 things are keeping me from adding that 5th star to my review: “Rev when on handbrake” needs to be an option, as the revs often fall quickly when pulling handbrake even for a short time. This makes it tough to pull handbrake without bogging. The other thing is that the damage effects are a little weird. Why does the hood crumple while the bumper is still in perfect condition? Why does my door fly off if I hit a road sign or small pole? The damage could be a little more subtle. Small taps and bumps irl do not usually taco the chassis, but they do in this game. If at least the handbrake thing is fixed, I’ll update my review to 5 starsOther than that, this game is fantastic. Extremely engaging campaign mode that highlights 5 decades of drifting and basically takes you through the whole drifting origins and history, while teaching a lot of great techniques to those who may be new to drifting. Very intelligent AI for tandem in both lead and chase. Scoring system isn’t perfect but it’s way better than good enough. I love the garage and tuning/customizability as well. Progress in the game is right in the sweet spot where you can just fool around and do nothing or be a perfectionist and satisfy every criteria of the campaign for 100% completion.
