Crash Drive 3 is pure daft entertainment alone or with others, but unfortunately the framerate on Switch is less than ideal.
As a single player game, the arcade racer Crash Drive 3 can feel a bit empty. But it’ll very likely be a real hoot for the kids who just want to explore and goof around. As a multiplayer game, it can be a free-for-all blast.

Some people here forget to take different criteria in count. Like for instance, this is not an AAA title, and hence the price is way lower, so should be our expectations. And honestly, I think that this game gets far less recognition than it deserves. It could have more maps, true. Sometimes it can be too chaotic and the level design could be better, true. But man, for the price, this is an ideal game for the Switch. It's pretty unique, very addictive, car handling is a pure joy, beautifully responsive and intuitive. I'm giving it 10/10 IN ITS CATEGORY. So, no, I don't think that this game is just as good as BotW or TotK. But you need to remember that when you assess something on Metacritic, you do it in a certain category. There's nothing like an objective 10. Anyway, for the game it is, which is a low-budget nice little online event-based semi open-world game, it deserves the highest score, because it simply works and delivers. I encountered no bugs nor did I encounter design solutions I didn't understand. The game is simple and yet very fun to play. A very good loading game. But it is NOT a cheap mobile garbage made with assets from the asset store. It is truly an honest product made by honest developers, who cared. And you can feel it. It matters. I love the handling model. I hope to see more from the devs, especially on the Switch, which lacks similar games. And one more quick note. I own Lego 2K Drive and I personally find this one far better.

And i thought that crash drive 2 was the peak of cheap good racing games... but OH GOD this is so much than the past game. The visuals, the gameplay and new modes are a blast. My only complain is that they changed the boost button from y to a which takes so time to get use to if you played the first part.

If you want to party with strangers, Crash Drive 3 is a great option for a party-like game that is mostly focused on online play. It has a good variety of modes and many unlockables to keep you hooked during short gaming sections.
Crash Drive 3 is sure to hook you for hours on the first play with its flipping fun and crossplay compatibility, but a return visit to this maybe-mobile game is up to you in a market flooded with good car video games.
Without a doubt, I can appreciate another party game entry for the speed demon in all of us. In single player mode, it is sparse; it needs multiplayer to be fun, and online mode delivers the goods. On the other side, with games like Mario Kart and Rocket League you can find yourself with some AI opposition to make things interesting when riding solo. While online play is the focus of Crash Drive 3, the offline mode could stand to be more engaging. All in all, Crash Drive 3 continues its tradition of open-area multiplayer madness by offering more vehicles and more game types than its previous entries. A more in-depth single player mode with AI competition would be a very welcome addition, though.
Crash Drive 3 is a fun idea that is enjoyable in short bursts. Unfortunately, in longer sessions, an array of issues are glaringly obvious. The slippy driving mechanics, repetitive missions and bland visuals make this an uninspiring release. With almost no reason to play solo, the game’s reliance on a community could mean that the game crashes before it hits the highway. Due to this, I would hit the brakes before picking up this racer.
Crash Drive 3 and its extremely simplistic and repetitive gameplay loops are difficult to recommend for anyone looking for a substantial arcade driving experience. If, however, you’re after a fun little time-waster that you just want to have to hand for a few moments of downtime here and there, then you may find Crash Drive 3 an adequate distraction; provided you can look past the technical issues, that is.
It's not the game of the year, but for my 5 yo nephew it was such a wonder and he cant stop playing it (he really wanted to unlock the monster truck). I played it too and i admit that it was enjoyable, still not my style of games but it can pass time.

While hardly a top-tier racing game this stunt racer, though sharing perhaps a bit too much in common with its predecessor, somehow managed to grab me longer than I would have expected. Whether playing solo or online, which feels more like you’re participating in parallel with other users than with or against them, the focus here is on exploring, performing some stunts, collecting coins for unlockables of various kinds, and participating in a small collection of somewhat random events that will run continually in the background and that you can opt to join in or ignore. It’s not high art by any means, and I’m not particularly a fan of the lagging camera that doesn’t do well with sudden turns or turning around specifically, but even in its simplicity there’s a certain charm to it with its large open spaces with loads of stunting opportunities almost everywhere. If you’re just in the mood to poke around and have some fun for a bit it isn’t a bad option… just keep your expectations in check.

Crash Drive 3 is an online focused arcade racer offering a decent variety of events. At the time of writing it’s available for just 89p, but that budget price is reflected in the low resolution graphics and awful car handling that largely spoil any fun that may have been had.
