Racing Rivals is rated 3.9/5 stars on the Google Play Store, while having a 4/5 stars rating on the Apple App Store.

Racing Rivals takes players to cities such as Los Angeles, Sydney, Tokyo, London, Rio and New York, each of which has countless races to attend. You are new and without any name in town when you meet the local racers of Los Angeles, the first city. For this reason you have to prove yourself with a few tests and choose a car of three to take with you for future races.
Once you have your new car, your only goal is to climb the ranks in the circle of racers and reach the top! To do this you can attend multiple types of races, both singleplayer and multiplayer. But before we go on, how does the racing work, anyway? Let me tell you that first!
When you start a race, you are put into the streets of the current city, with an opponent’s car next to you. There is a short period when you can start revving up your engines using the pedal on the right side of the screen, to ensure a better start. When the lights at the top turn green, the race has started! You have to have a good reaction time, as your opponent will probably not wait for you, if you fail to start on time. Once you both started, the cars speed up on their own, but you have to shift manually, indicated by the lights at the bottom of the screen. If you shift too early, your car will slow down a little, just as shifting too late will lose you some extra speed. Shifting just in time, when the green light appears will provide you with the most speed and the most chance to reach the finish line first.
Now, all races in Racing Rivals use the same system, but the rules change somewhat, depending on what type of race you take on. The first type of race is the Campaign, which includes better and better computer controlled cars against you, until you reach the very top and win against all existing racers. You start against opponents described as “Easy”, but as you progress you will realize some opponents might have much better cars than you!
You can also take on races in the Driver’s Challenge, where you have to use a specified car instead of your own to win three races. Other than that, there are also Tournaments and Racer Showdowns, where you need tickets to enter and can either race for cash or car rewards. Then there is the Multiplayer mode, which is where most of the players are found. This is a simple challenge mode, where you can ask any other player to a race, and even add bets. Bets can be cash, or if you have multiple cars, then you can risk one of yours against your opponent, so the winner takes the loser’s car. Challenges like these can be “chickened” out of, so you are not forced to race, if you don’t want to.
Racing Rivals also has a team system, so joining any of the teams in the game means that you have a place to chat and hang out with your teammates, and to compete with other teams in the Turf Wars. Turf Wars is a series of races where you and your team can race against opposing teams, gaining an overall score depending on each win and lose, then ranking on a team leaderboard at the end. The top teams will even earn cash and car prizes.
Now, if everyone had the same powerful cars, that would make it harder to win races, so the game has a Garage, where your car can be tuned and customized to your liking. Tuning includes various upgrades to the car, such as new tires, exhaust systems, intake systems, engine internals, drivetrain, weight reduction, conversion kits and three very powerful speed tools: Supercharger, Nitrous Oxide Kit and Turbo. Adding any new parts to the car will take some time, which can be instantly finished by using premium gems.
Each car has five different statistics that new parts can change: Weight, Power, Torque, Shift Speed and Engine Damage. While the first four are stats that change your car’s racing abilities, Engine Damage is different. Adding some of the new parts to your car will have a side effect of Engine Damage, which means after each finished race your engine will take that much damage. The more damage your car has taken, the more it costs and the longer it takes to fix it. While a car is mid-fix, you can’t even use it to race, except if you use gems to instantly finish the maintenance.
Now, Racing Rivals also allows you to customize your car with a huge number of options. You can add underglow, paint jobs, new wheel styles, bumpers, side skirts, hoods, rear panels, spoilers and suspensions. Some of these additions also increase or decrease the weight of your car, so keep that in mind.
If you are either bored of your current car and wish for something new, or just want to be able to race for car rewards, then you can visit the Shipyard. The Shipyard is the place where huge Bronze, Silver and Gold containers can be bought, hiding cars and rare upgrades or customization items inside. Spending 80 or 240 gems can get you one these containers. Both cash and gems can be purchased with real money, starting from $1.99 for 15,000 cash or 80 gems, going up to $119.99 for 1,000,000 cash or 5,200 gems.
Racing Rivals also has some options for players who won’t spend money on the game, as they can either watch video ads for free cash, or download sponsored apps for free gems. There are also Sponsor Goals in the game, which require you to buy various brands’ parts in the Garage, awarding you with cash and gem rewards if you do.
Racing Rivals has numerous cheats available to players, if they know where to look. Some of these cheats are offered by the game itself, while others are harder to get. Let me tell you about some of them, as well as give you some useful tips for your future races!
The first and most serious of cheats you can find in the game are definitely the boosts. Boosts can be bought with gems and will add a powerful boost to your car’s speed in the next few races, equal to the number of boosts you have. Even if your car is run down and slow, a boost can easily win you the game against many better opponents.
Now, as a tip for new players, you should probably compete in the Champaign for your first few days in the game, as they not only give out huge cash rewards, but also are easier than racing against real players.
Champaign opponents will also get better and better as you progress, just like real players, so no matter if you plan on playing singleplayer or multiplayer, you should definitely keep upgrading your car. As for what upgrades you should get, just observe each of your races and see what’s wrong. Does your car stay slow even after shifting three times? Maybe your car needs parts that add extra Power. Does your car shift slowly? Then add parts that fasten your Shift Speed.
As for gaining cash and gems, don’t forget the video ads and the sponsored app download options, as well as the Sponsor Goals. You definitely need to upgrade your car constantly, so why not buy parts that are listed in your Sponsor Goals? Sponsors will pay you cash and sometimes even gems, if you use their parts.
While I don’t play racing games often, when I do I usually enjoy them a lot. Racing Rivals seemed to be an interesting take on the racing genre, so I was happy to look into it. My disappointment soon took over the happiness though, as the game wasn’t what I expected it to be.
When I started out in the singleplayer Champaign, the game surprised me with the fact that I couldn’t actually control my car, but only choose when to start and shift during the race. Maybe it’s only me, but I haven’t expected that. I soon got over this fact though, as the mechanics seemed to work fine. Instead of a 2016 racing game where you have to be careful on the track and try to maintain speed, this game was more about reflexes and hitting the shift at the perfect time to win.
As I progressed in the Champaign, I soon realized that opposing cars became much better than mine and I had zero chance to win. So I went and upgraded my car in the Garage, choosing random parts that seemed to add the required stats. As far as I noticed it doesn’t matter which parts you choose, only their extra stats matter.
After finishing my upgrades, Champaign enemies became easy again, up until two races later, when I had to go and upgrade yet again to have a chance. This is not a problem, as each won race in singleplayer rewarded me with enough cash to upgrade as much as needed. The real problem started when I went into the multiplayer section of Racing Rivals.
Now, I thought that racing other players will be the best part of the game, but it turned out to be the worst. I tried to race multiple people, but each of them were so overpowered compared to me that they sped out of my screen in a second, leaving me no chance to reach them. The saddest thing is that these weren’t players with much better cars, instead they just either spent real money on the game to buy costy upgrades, or were using boosts.
It seemed very unfair to me that when choosing opponents there is no way to tell how powerful their cars are, therefore you can easily run into someone with a car five times as strong as yours. Then they ask for a bet of 5,000 cash or more and you just outright lose it in the first second of the race, as you can’t catch up to them.
Overall, Racing Rivals could be a good game, as it has the neccesary gameplay mechanics done well, but other than the singleplayer, the game is very unbalanced and filled with overpowered players. When there is no chance to race against players with similar power as yours, then the enjoyment is just lost. Especially when you have to race for your hard earned cash or your own car as a bet.
Ratings
Artwork: The artwork of Racing Rivals gets a 6/10. This game just doesn’t look that good, honestly. It’s not the ugliest game ever, as car models are pretty detailed, but backgrounds and the racetracks are low resolution and not a nice sight to look at.
Music & SFX: The music and SFX in the game deserves a 4/10. While the SFX, such as car sounds are realistic, the game is very quiet most of the time. Menus and races have no music, other than the title screens and the ending screen of each race. These songs are also very basic and only last a few seconds. Adding any background music to the game would have helped a great deal.
Story & Originality: Story and originality wise I give the game a 6/10. The Champaigns are done well enough, with some small story bits for each opponent, which is honestly more than what I would expect from a game like this. The game is not too original though, as its exact systems are used in countless other titles as well, and I’m sure there are better executed ones out there.
General Gameplay: The general gameplay of Racing Rivals gets a 5/10 from me. While the singleplayer parts of the game are good and can be a lot of fun, as well as somewhat challenging, the multiplayer aspects are very unbalanced. Without a way to see the power level of other players’ cars, each challenge is a huge risk. You might outright lose it, along with your hard earned cash or your car. You either pay up to be just as overpowered as others, or keep to the singleplayer, otherwise all the joy will cease to exist.
Addictiveness: The addictiveness level of the game deserves a 5/10. If not for the already mentioned issues, this title would be extremely addicting. Upgrading your car and taking it to races to reach the top is very tempting, but once you realize the unfairness of multiplayer races, you will easily get turned off of it.
Overall Score: 5/10.
