When I first got my android phone all those years ago, one of the first games I ever downloaded was Drag Racing from Creative Mobile. Bike Edition is a sequel to this game, and is every bit as good as its predecessor. It currently boasts over 10 million downloads and a 4.2 out of 5 star rating from 300,000 reviews. This game is available on both iOS and Android devices. In this game, you drag race motorbikes, controlling only revving up in the beginning, when/if to use nitrous, and when to switch gears. You earn credits after every race, and you can spend these credits to restock your nitrous, upgrade your bike, and to purchase new bikes to ride on. If you upgrade to a better bike, you get paired with harder/better opponents. The game has online and offline features- you can race against other people online. There’s also a campaign mode, where you complete a series of races to gain increasing rewards.
This campaign mode is where you should be spending the majority of your time, but you’ll probably just tap ‘Quick Race’ more often than not. The rewards for the campaign seem to be a bit better than the quick race rewards, but if you’ve been neglecting the campaign (as I did) it can be a chore to speed through those easy races so definitely try to keep up.
There are three different lengths of strip that you can drag race on, from 1/8th of a mile to 1/4th and eventually to 1/2 a mile. Each of these distances come with different strategies behind them. For instance, if you’re racing on a 1/8th track, you’ll want to ensure you have early acceleration, but if you’re on a 1/2 track, you’ll need to make sure you’re in it for the long haul.
The basic gameplay is fairly simple. You have to time the revving up of the bike correctly before the race starts, giving you a significant boost if you do it successfully, and a huge handicap if you don’t. After this, your bike will automatically accelerate to the end of the track, and your task is to manually switch gears. There are optimal times to do this, indicated by an arrow on the screen- green is ‘perfect’(read caveat in Tips) and is when you should switch gears. Once you install the appropriate upgrade, you also have a nitrous button, that will give you a significant speed boost.
You earn credits through racing that allow you to upgrade and purchase new bikes that unlock higher tiers of play that reward more credits. It’s a pretty simple formula, but one that works very well. You also have to earn RP in order to gain access to higher levels of bikes.
My only strong niggle with the game is that vibration is enabled by default-meaning your phone’s going to be shaking your hand off. It can be easily disabled, but it was jarring at first-I’m not a fan of large amounts of vibration, as it tends to drain the battery pretty quick.
If you are currently playing Drag Racing: Bike Edition, you know how important nitros, cash, and victory points are to keep you moving forward in the game and unlocking items. You can purchase some of these important items in the app store, but this costs you real money, and if you continue playing the costs will add up quickly. We have added a Drag Racing: Bike Edition hack to our website, which allows you to get the nitros, cash, and victory points for free.
Check out the image below to see how the Drag Racing: Bike Edition hack tool works, and you will notice the options menu is setup nicely, which is where you enter the amounts of each item that you want to add to your account.
To get the nitros, cash, and victory points for free, simply download our hack tool, which takes around 30 seconds, and then it will automatically install onto your device. Once it installs, select either iOS or Android depending on which device you are using, and then you will be able to enter the amounts of nitros, cash, and victory points that you want to add to your gaming account.
Tap the “Start” button to begin the hack tool, which should take no more than 30 seconds to complete. After the hack has finished, you will open up the app as normal and the nitros, cash, and victory points that you added will already be on your account. By using our free hack tool, you will be able to continue getting these items for free, and this allows you to play the game without spending money.
The first tip I can give you is to not be stingy with your credits. You earn them quite quickly, so you should definitely use them to upgrade your bike, or to buy a new bike. Having a better bike will lead to you winning more races, which equals more credits and RP!
Play campaign mode. I know it’s more fun to play in tournaments online, but campaign mode can offer some pretty cool benefits, including large credit rewards and guaranteed RP on certain stages. You need RP to unlock new levels of bikes, and it comes as a random drop when racing. Having a guaranteed source of it is a pretty good thing!
Upgrade your bike-but not too much. The garage menu has a staggeringly large number of various upgrades that you can purchase for your bike. What the game isn’t so quick to tell you is that if you upgrade your bike too much it’ll raise in levels. When this happens, what was an awesome level 1 bike that tore up the competition will quickly become a mediocre level 2 bike. That isn’t to say that you can’t upgrade the bike to be good again-you just get somewhat diminished returns as the upgrades get progressively more expensive.
Keep your base stats in mind as you upgrade. If you add a bunch of upgrades that add weight to the bike, you’ll see sluggish performance until you add other upgrades to take some of that weight off. Same goes for just about any stat- if you add too much grip without pumping the power, your bike will go nowhere fast.
Don’t be in a rush to buy a new bike. It’s almost always cheaper to upgrade your current bike than it is to purchase a new one at the same level. If you’re thinking about purchasing a higher level bike, then that’s usually perfectly fine.
Using a higher level bike means you go against tougher opponents, but it also means you can get higher rewards. Don’t be in a rush to reach higher levels if you’re not ready for more challenge, but don’t lollygag around lower levels either. Try to find a good balance between challenge and rewards.
You should *always* do your daily challenges. They don’t cost you anything except time, and you can get some substantial rewards from them. These range from credit bonuses to nitrous and sometimes RP.
The best upgrades in my opinion are the turbo kit and the nitrous upgrade. They both provide significant benefits to your bike, at little cost. You should always go for these first. You’ll need the nitrous upgrade to even use nitrous with that particular bike, which provides a significant advantage.
The fine tuning section is wonderful- you can tweak to your every desire the exact performance of your bike. It can also be pretty daunting. The default setup is fine for most bikes and upgrade situation, with only nitrous really being easy to change. You can change the duration to shorter (so you get more of a boost) for shorter tracks, and longer (so you get a weaker boost over a longer time) for longer tracks.
Remember- the green ‘perfect shift’ indicator only applies assuming perfect conditions for your bike. If you haven’t paid attention to your bike and made some unbalanced upgrades, you’ll need to find your own shifting windows to achieve optimal speeds, regardless of what score the game gives you at the end of the race. You win more credits for getting better scores though, so always keeping your bike in a good balanced state is best. (Don’t just ignore grip and put all your upgrades in power like I did!)
Fine tuning your bike can make up for some of the deficiencies mentioned above, but I’d stay away from changing much in that menu until you can devote some serious trial-and-error time to the process. You’ll want to change one variable a small bit, then test, then do the same thing over and over to make sure you’re reaching the optimal tune. As you do this you’ll start to get a feel for how each tune affects your bike, but this will change for every person’s bike choice and upgrade configuration, so I can’t offer much more advice than just try it!
As my final tip: don’t bother buying any of the other level 1 bikes. Your starting bike does just fine at that level! It honestly performs just fine at level 2 as well if you continue to upgrade it, but it’s not as cost effective as just buying a level 2 bike.
Drag Racing does a pretty good job of being a freemium game. There’s content locked behind RP, but these are pretty easy to get through regular game play, and this restriction ensures that you’re experienced enough to move to the higher levels. You can bypass this restriction, but it’s not necessary. Nitrous has to be bought, but you can do so in credits. Credits can be bought, but they are by and large easily obtainable, so you don’t have to worry, at least until you get into the higher levels of bikes and upgrades. There are some unobtrusive ads while playing, but I did get one ad that took over the whole screen and made me watch a 10 second clip before continuing. All ads can be removed for the less than the cost of a soda. Definitely recommend.
Artwork: Drag Racing: Bike Edition isn’t going to be winning any graphics awards. It looks and feels like a mobile game. The bikes are detailed pretty well, and are recognizably different. It does well for what it tries to accomplish. You can enable tire smoke in the options menu, which is pretty cool. There’s a wide variety of bikes each with their own unique model, and you can change the colors of the bikes too. 7/10
Music & SFX: The sound effects were serviceable, and I’ll add the vibration effects here too, as they work pretty well in tandem to make the game immersive. I did not like how the music would fade out for a race and then get louder again, as I found myself turning my phone down and up constantly. There’s no option to change this in the menu. It was also very annoying for me to have the music interrupted by ads. 6/10
Story & Originality: There’s a campaign mode, but there’s no story to go along with it. This isn’t necessarily a detriment, as a bad story is definitely worse than no story at all. Originality gets the game a few points- it’s just a sequel to Drag Racing with different vehicles, but it does the genre of pocket drag racers very well. 5/10
General Gameplay: The general gameplay is fairly uninvolving and I didn’t find it too appealing. You tap the screen at the start, and then tap the screen 3-4 more times during a race and that’s it- you either win or lose. I found myself wanting more control of the bike. The other aspects of the game were pretty addictive, though. Customizing and improving your bike has the same feeling as leveling up in other games. Fine tuning your bike is another layer of fun and frustration both. 7/10
Addictiveness: With no energy mechanic to speak of, you’re able to play as many races as you could possible want in a day. This means that there’s no limitation to the number of credits you can earn to upgrade your bike either! If you’re a fan of incremental upgrades that slowly but surely make you more powerful, you’ll enjoy this one. The actual gameplay during races leaves a bit to be desired, but fine tuning your bike to get the perfect balance can certainly be classified as an addiction. (There are even guides available on the store that purport to tell you all of the secrets of fine tuning for $- the fact that these exist[and have been bought] shows you that there’s certainly a level of addiction here!) 7/10
Overall: 6/10 It’s not a bad game by any means, and you’ll certainly enjoy it if fine tuning and upgrading various racing bikes sounds appealing to you. There’s not much here in terms of gameplay during racing, and that does hurt the game somewhat. I’d love to see a sequel that fixes this issue while keeping the addictiveness of fine tuning and upgrading your vehicle! It’s a free game, and has easy and accessible ways of earning all of the items in game without spending money, or even grinding too hard.
