This game looks nice, but doesn't seem to live up to its potential. The prices for both gold and items seem quite high. The kred/gold/silver ratios are way skewed, as 200 gives 110 gold (.55 per kred) while 950 gives 510 gold (only .537 per kred). Encourage larger purchases, not punish them. Buying the cheapest gold car costs more than $10? Heck, a toolbox to speed up a 30 minute upgrade costs over a dollar. That's a bit absurd in my opinion, but maybe other players will think otherwise. Not only are things expensive, but the fact that you can buy horsepower increases that seem VERY significant means that the game will probably be the "money is everything" type. On the plus side, the graphics look great and the music is awesome - hearing "Get Busy Child" and "Already over now" once the game loaded was certainly a nice surprise. I'd throw 5 bucks in to enjoy the game for an hour or two... if the prices weren't so high. This game has potential, but you've got a lot to fix.

This is not a bad game, it does need to tone down on the constant suggesting you buy gold and silver with Kreds, I did enjoy the racing but would wish you can start out betting more without having to buy tools and such. I think it will be a very popular game on Kongregate if some things are changed around.

In regards to the execution of the game: Kong is a platform of majority free to play games, "xx,xxx online playing xx,xxx free games!". The game logic ideally should be towards fun, not realism in most cases. The gameplay should ideally be rewarding, which at the present it is not. Interaction with the community should be promoted as a communication activity and nothing else. The reliability of the player paying to progress completely tramples the medium that Kong is built on. "People playing free games"

So I put parts in my car.. ran out of money cant race now.. might need some little races to build up cash or something... and if you want people to become competitive online, use something like tuning station - if you dont have that already.. cos its way too hard atm. and the kreds thing.. nah not gonna get a good rating from me.. sorry. but im not spending money to get parts. :)
nice looks, reminds me of V2 drag racer...

It might be nice to add some sort of tutorial. The only way to get a feel for the controls is to waste bet money on a race that you will most likely lose at.

Why are there no free missions to earn silver? I'm stuck for 24 hours until I can get my log-on silver! There was no warning not to do this. Nothing. Absolutely terrible!!!

Also, I had to refresh the game to get my parts to appear installed. This should happen automatically. There should also be some kind of timer bar / countdown, to display how much longer you have left until they're installed.

So... I spent all my money at the start on a car + parts. Now I don't have 1000 silver to bet on a race. I can't play the game at all. Pretty poor design there.

Way too much reliance on kreds. I guess this is what kongregate is coming to. Very cool game but it's pretty much a demo if you don't have kreds to spend.
