Rage Road - Car Shooting for iPhone

Experience action movie chase scenes

Rage Road is a free action mobile video game that lets you gun down enemies from behind your truck. Developed by SayGames, Rage Road features frenetic third-person shooting on the highway. You play as Jack Road, a smartly-suited agent equipped with a handgun who must eliminate various enemy goons after him. This game simply lets you aim and shoot at incoming targets while you automatically move through the level. 

Agent on the run

Road Rage starts off with a simple tutorial. Just tap and hold to shoot at where the crosshair is aiming, which are the enemy vehicles following you. You can only perform headshots, but eliminating the drivers will quickly stop the enemy cars. The top screen shows your hit points left, while the left side of the screen shows your bullets left. You will have infinite ammo, but reloading will make Jack duck and cover.

On the menu, you can see the daily Missions, Garage, Look, and Guns at the bottom. Garage and Look lets you customize Jack and his truck with unlocked items from levels. The weapons shop will sometimes pop up to offer purchasable guns. The guns meu, meanwhile, is only your collection page. You can earn money and crystals by playing. Loot boxes of outfits will open after a few levels. Its prizes must still be unlocked via ads, though.

It’s fun to take out the enemies, as downed or flipped cars can still collide with others and incapacitate them. The types of enemies become varied as you progress—some have armored cars while some are on motorbikes. Every ten levels will show a boss, while every 20 levels will change the background environment. The game has a default Story Mode and a Hard Road, wherein you must survive waves of difficult bosses.

Too many ads

Rage Road’s gameplay is fun as a pastime. However, it displays issues that can be highly frustrating. One is the wobbly manual aiming in Story Mode, as the crosshair automatically snaps to wheels most of the time instead of the enemies. Unfortunately, the biggest offender is the constant display of ads. You even need to play ads just to get the costumes you’ve already unlocked. Thankfully, you can remove them with a purchase.
