Real Racing 3

I was really looking forward to this game which is released on the App Store today but it appears to be strangled by a very costly In App Purchasing system.

The game is free to download but you're soon hit with costs of £10+ to buy packs containing 4 cars and a couple of tracks. After each race you have to pay to repair your car (oil and tyres) or wait for 20-30 minutes for it to complete. On top of this you also have to pay to repair damage to your car sustained while racing.

Way to spoil a good game :/

Also the OP is talking utter trash.

You say that, then go on to repeat exactly whet I posted.

Car costs

- Koenigsegg Agera R : £70
- Zonda R : £35
- Porsche 918 RSR : £14
- McLaren MP4-12C : £8

A quote from a review site
http://www.148apps.com/news/503-ios-racing-game-shocking-reality-iap-real-racing-3/

To earn all of the cars in the game rather that buy them with real money, a player would need to finish 6,801 races with an average (per our RR3 stats) of 4:10 per race earning R$3,700 per race. That would equal 472 hours to earn the R$25,163,573 it would cost in the in-game currency to buy all 46 cars. That does not include the cost for repairs, maintenance, or upgrades which can be rather expensive.

If a player wanted to take the shortcut and buy all of the cars in the game with real money, that would cost £330 in in-app purchases

Sure you can use the in-game currency for minor stuff but it doesn't last long.
You'll soon get frustrated using all of your winnings to keep a basic car running.
