The shore is a great place to swim, get some sun and race dune buggies.

smartphone or tablet.
The Good
Beach Buggy Racing lets you navigate different parts of the island while racing its inhabitants, with lots of customization options available. There are many different racers to choose and unlock. Each one also has a unique special ability, so it gives you a reason to unlock and try all of the characters. You also have different car options to make upgrades. You use coins that you get from the races to buy and upgrade everything. This makes winning every race of key importance if you want to get the most coins Beach Buggy Racing looks nice. There are many different tracks and areas to explore. You are on an island and race around the beaches, towns, jungles and other places. Each track looks unique and each area is very well made, with lots of things moving in the background and foreground.
The Bad
Beach Buggy Racing has no multiplayer options. Racing games lend themselves to being quality multiplayer experiences because of heated competition and crazy antics, ala Mario Kart. That said, this title would have benefited from an option to play online with friends. Beach Buggy Racing also works on a ticket system. The tickets get used up with every race, so you tend to quickly run through tickets and stop playing once they're gone unless you want to pay to replenish them. This system makes play sessions very short.
The Verdict
Beach Buggy Racing is a lighthearted and fun racing game. It's very similar to Mario Kart, but its lack of multiplayer holds it back from being great.
