Is anyone still playing? I gave in and downloaded it back in September (I think) and have had a 'meh, it's a good way to kill time'-hate relationship with it ever since, mostly hate because of how obviously the game is playing me rather than the other way around, but there isn't a better driving game on iOS right now. I'm currently trying to save R$360k or so in order to buy the Carrera RS when I unlock it (normally a shade under R$450k, so 20% off that should be 360k, right?) so I'm going back through all the previous series which I've mostly only completed 60-70% of. I worked out I can comfortably buy it if I so all the time trials I have left to do so today I've been dipping in and out of it a lot.
I don't get how people can say you don't need to spend money to complete the game, I have absolutely no idea where I'll get the gold I need for the gold-only cars (so far I have the Cobra, MP4-12C, ZR1 and... That might be it?) and it's pretty clear the game doesn't want you to gold the last two events in each series until you've gotten the gold-only upgrades for the best car. I love how you can tell whether or not the game is going to let you gold an event such as a speed snap by looking at the times to beat; if you have the 'right' car with the acceptable number of upgrades there's a .1mph difference between 1st and 4th place, but if the game wants you to spend more cash and possibly gold there'll be a 10mph difference and you'll struggle to finish 4th. Get the upgrades, try again and - what a surprise! - the gap has narrowed again. So you might finish all the series without spending real money, but you won't 100% them.
But until you hit one of these blatantly obvious and artificial progress blocks, it's a decent game. The graphics tech is amazing, it sounds better than a lot of racing games on any platform and it has more cars than most things this side of Gran Turismo. TSM is a total joke, I have yet to see a single opponent do anything differently to any other, 'time shifted multiplayer' apparently just means real time trial times and AI with real players' names. I don't understand why they made a big deal about it, it's utter rubbish.
Aaanyway.
