So who's playing CarTown on Facebook???? (http://apps.facebook.com/cartown)

I didn't know this game existed until I saw a couple guys posting pics of these Cartoonized cars on their Facebook walls and figured out that it was a game and I was immeidately hooked!

Anyway, here's an album of some of the cars in my CarTown Garage ....

i like this one the best ..

i played it for a while, but like most facebook games.. they fade out after some time.

after i bought all of the honda/acura cars.. i lost interest.

 

Thanks, For some strange reason I like modifying the Milk Trucks and Ice Cream Trucks, hence why I have so many of those. My favorite is the Red Ice Cream Truck and the Orange "Creamsicle" Ice Cream Truck.

There are so many cars though, why limit yourself to just Honda/Acura? They add cars quite often as well.

 

i didnt limit to just the honda's and acuras.. i probably owned over 20 cars... the excitement faded quickly..

i ended around lvl 25

 

Did you compete with your friends or did you find you were playing against yourself the entire time?

 

i got about 4 friends interested in the beginning... they left out much quicker than i did though.. so i resorted to adding a few people off Cartown's page...

and after a while, i had bought the cars i could.. and the ones i couldnt, i wasnt paying cash for.. so i kina just stop checking it.

 

I used to play it like everyday. Then I went on vacation and got out of the routine of starting jobs before and after I got home from work and haven't touched it since.

 

As a casual game it is perfect. I set it to do something, and come back to it later. While I'm watching TV I have it do some of the faster jobs so that I can earn credits faster.

I guess I enjoy it a lot because I want to buy the same cars over and over again and modify them differently, or at least that's my plan but I need to get at least 1 of everything before I can move on to doing that before the cars expire.

 

I play it, but the game's currency system is broken. New cars are added but require the blue coins which you won't make near enough to buy any of them forcing you to pay real cash.

I thought they learned their lesson when they set all the original cars to be purchased with gold or blue coins, but guess not.

 

This is pretty much the new model that many games are starting to employ. They make the game fun and interesting with as much free stuff as they can, but if you really like everything else you gotta pay for it. It's no different than having to buy the extra map packs for Halo, Call of Duty etc. I think there's also a new FPS game that gives you a bunch of free stuff, but if you want the better weapons you gotta pay for them too, just don't recall the name of the game. Is this new model great? Most of us would say no, but it's a model that helps these developers churn out good games and make it profitable for them to keep making games of this nature.

Personally, I have no problem buying credits whether it's for this game or another. It's no different than having to buy the game for my XBOX, but at least this one has a free version that doesn't require me to dish out cash to play, how many xbox games do that other than the very very limited trial games in the arcade. Also, think of it this way, at least they are continuing to make improvements and additions to the game on an ongoing basis; whereas most other games get old and boring after you've beat it or a new version comes out. Games of this style, while most get bored of, are refreshed very often with new features.

 

I have no problem with spending real world currency. But, have you looked at what you have to pay? $5 on the Xbox can get you new maps, cars, guns, etc., stuff to keep going for hours.

The cars in this game require at least $10 worth of blue coins for just 1-2, 3 if you're lucky. Then you have cars in this game that require $40+ goddamn dollars. Only the world's biggest idiot will spend that for 1 car in this game instead of, I don't know, buying an actual, full game.

And that's how it was until recently.

Now, they're deploying these tactics where they'll release cars, & then they'll take them away a month later. The Charger was added not long ago, but they've decided to remove it, meaning, spend $169,000 in-game, or hit up your credit card.

It's ridiculous.

 

I helped get SSR on board for those wheel customizations you see there.
I got bored of it... don't really play much anymore now. I'll stop in to race ocasionally, but mainly I just play it once a day.

 

^^^ Any chance you could get Enkei on board!

 

They added the Back to the Future upgrade for the Delorean!

 

Anil, instead of playing this useless game, you send me that email.. :wink:

Where do you get your templates for the cars?

 

I did all of them myself.

 

GIMME GIMME GIMME!

 

anil, you whore.

i probably have more money than you and jay-r though.

 

probably. Every time I get enough, I spend it on buying a new car and/or modifying it. As soon as I'm done modifying my Gallardos I'll be saving up for the level 50 and 51 purchases.

 

lol i play this game to pass the time. i too usually do a 72 hr job and come back to it. i think im level 36

 

Damn, vwong those cars you posted brought back memories of Gran Turismo.

 

I need more Car Town friends. This game is awesome but I have nobody to race

Friend me if you're playing Tim Poliniak

 

^ lol didnt you decline my race?

 

Anybody see the 90's flashback announcement?





Where's my four door G3 teg.

WOOOO

 

civic and teggy are available for purchase.

 

i lost interest in 5 min.

 

werd

 

I have better things to do with my time

Although it does look like a little fun

 

It's not a game that you have to sit at for hours at any given point in time to play. It's one of those games where you set something to be done, come back to it hours (if not days later) and do the same thing.

 

i play this shit to but i stoped a while ago anyone wants me to join shoot me a pm

 

Dont think so. And yeah, I bought the Integra

 

 

I'm at level 16 with about $33K in coins. I have no idea what to buy next.....
