CarX Street review

CarX Street is the open-world option and the best free driving game for players who want to roam. The listing describes the city of Sunset City with highways, city streets, dynamic day and night and drift races, from the makers of CarX Drift Racing 2. Career mode has you join clubs, beat bosses, buy houses for your cars and fuel up at gas stations, while real-time multiplayer races put you against other players. Tuning is detailed: engine, transmission, body, suspension and tires can be upgraded, engines can be swapped, and visual parts from mirrors to rims can be changed. It supports PlayStation, Xbox and MFi controllers. It is a 1.5 GB download, the listing discloses ads, and the realistic handling takes longer to learn than the arcade racers higher up. Google Play shows 10M+ downloads and 4.6 stars from 694,000 reviews. Purchases start at $0.99, and a 7-day premium pass costs $1.99.
