CNET Editors' review
This physics game gives you all the fun of a bumpy ride without any skull fractures and will definitely quench your thirst for off-road driving. Hill Climb Racing becomes a little boring if you get stuck at the same level, but loads of customization and upgrade options will keep you coming back.
The game's Super Nintendo-style graphics makes it run incredibly smooth and won't tax your phone's processor. You will hear some goofy laughs whenever you flip your car and crush the redneck behind the wheel, which you'll do often. Though it's funny when you hear his neck snap after flipping the car the first couple of times, it's a little frustrating to hit the same bumps every time and have to start from the beginning. Luckily, you can update many of your car's parts or upgrade to a whole new vehicle altogether. This allows you to advance in the game without actually having to beat the level that's giving you trouble. That, in addition to the dozens of levels and vehicles to unlock, makes it easy to get stuck playing the Hill Climb Racing for hours.
Though the gameplay becomes difficult and repetitive after a while, it's more addicting than it is annoying. Hill Climb Racing offers enough upgrades and minimal ad intrusion to make it one of the best time-killers in the Google Play store. It's easy enough that anyone can pick it up and play, but offers enough options to make it worth playing over and over.
