positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After all those years i still love to come back to this game Supressing nostalgia can knock you over even after all those years And yes. Im a huge fan of Cobra 11 series
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, sleeper hit!! The controls need to be custom-mapped but everything about this game is well designed and goes way beyond my expectations. It's a little dated but the quality of this game puts pretty much everything else with 4-wheels to shame... yes, i'm THAT impressed! This is the car-game I have been craving for so long and I can't believe it even exists. Why was i not aware of this before? 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically a Racing Game with the characters and a story from the German TV Series "Alarm for Cobra 11". It is a solid gameplay expirience but it dosen't run good on Windows 10 and new PCs. Driving around and crashing in people is fun but too much crashes and tehnical problems.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know, sometimes it pays off to give a chance to the lesser known, more oddball titles out there. When you take a risk on something new, you just might get lucky and find something that you didn't know you wanted until you tried it. For example, trying out Earth Defense Force and Yakuza 0 turned out to be two of the best decisions I've ever made in finding new games. Crash Time III however, didn't turn out so well. While it may be at least competently made, I just found the experience to be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've completed Crash time 2 and 3 but i still dont know which one is Semir and which one is Ben.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing for two hours, and all I feel like I've done is pull some people over on the street. For an open world, the maps aren't that big. The quests are really boring (go pull over 5 semi trucks, drive to the gas station, bring so and so to a meeting), and I haven't seen one lick of "racing." I understand starting off with a dinky car is something most racing games will do, but there is no peek as to what I might be able to earn, and no upgrade system. The game seems to place its…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game, great graphics, great control of the car loads of options. If you like car chases and ramming other cars off the road (outrun anyone my age), or other police missions of which there are 42 plus free roam then this is your kind of game. The only downside for the game I can think of would be the graphics options....or lack of them but thats just a small issue for me and at the price of £3.99 then its a no question if you should buy it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What i love from This series you can play splitscreen Free roam with your friends and you can add mods, How to Play Free Roam with Splitscreen? Just select any track then write "wannago" during the gameplay. Have fun with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OPERATION "KASPERSKY" Not bad, but the story is pretty weak. It could have been its own Driver San Francisco, though. (Old review from November 2024, now more detailed from August 10, 2025, after finishing 84% of the main story): Crash Time 3 is a typical indie racing game with its strengths and weaknesses. In some ways, it even surpasses Crash Time: Undercover, but overall, the experience feels mixed. Let’s start with the downsides. The graphics are noticeably outdated, and the gray filter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"There goes breakfast!" A stupid game with absolutely superb gameplay. How can the two mix so well? Pros: -Beautiful graphics. Driving through German suburbs never has been so smooth and fun in another game -Plenty of objectives and vehicles to unlock -Vehicles control smoothly and every vehicle feels fleshed out. No issues in the gameplay department -Split screen races with friends are a blast Cons: -Laughable voice acting that is just so bad. -The script is absolutely awful and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun little game where you can do missions, race and/or simply drive around Germany crashing into stuff (as the name suggests). Worth picking up during a sale if you have a destruction fetish and some leftover money to spend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is upgraded version from Crash Time 2. The gameplay and graphics are still very much or closely the same. But as far I have now played the missions seems to be more sensible and worst flaws in missions are fixed. Also the worlds best (not so) voice acting is still here. My son liked very much previous version and I'm pretty sure that he likes this version at least as much if not even more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crash Time is actually about crashing in menu and giving black screen, too outdated and abandoned it seems, also can't change controls during the race and no co-op/multiplayer, not worth it IMO
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →here goes my childhood. i feel all nostalgia while playing it cars, police precinct all of things about this game was still in my mind somehow and i discovered it while playing it. i am so greatfull to find this game on steam. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically more Crash Time 2, with the same physics, AI and mission structure. And that good 'cuz CT2 was lots of fun. However there's WAY too many tailing missions, and way too many circuit races around the same 1 or 2 race tracks. These missions feel like 33% of the game, whereas CT2 had only like 2 trailing missions, and the circuit races took place across the entire city, and were much more exciting and challenging. Felt like there was more variety, more intense city-wide chases, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crash Time 3 pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //a lot of difficult races/missions/objectives //sometimes lack of directions or lack of instruction details //a lot of difficult gameplay //AI uses rubberbanding so that you can never really get ahead in the races //AI shoulder blocks you out the race and off the road //locked race events //unlocking race events are a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A personal favorite from an obscure childhood. I saw WhyBeAre play this game on Youtube as a kid, and always wondered if i could get it on my xbox. On a whim a few years ago, I decided to install it on my machine after buying it on steam. It was a treat. All of these memories flooding back to me about racing games of old, and surprisingly enough the graphics do hold up well for what the game is. Taking into account, the period in which this game was released, the graphics are stunning yet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This and Crash Time 2 - pearls among low-budget games. For the time they were made graphics were impressive and damage models are top-notch even today. The story is mid but the game is worth picking up for those few bucks if you like watching cars get compacted like tin cans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →car go boom boom
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →car vroom car boom is fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Crash Time III was released in 2009, and you'd be shocked to learn this, as for its time, the game runs and looks very good. - The vehicles in the game behaves different from games like Need for Speed or Burnout - They are slightly more realistic, such as featuring loss of power when changing gears, or the tyres locking up when braking heavily (which can cause the car to not steer too well or even spin when releasing it). - The vehicle diversity is quite good - While there's not too…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool, like a European Driver.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is "Alarm for Cobra 11". Marketed under a false name.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Graphics look ok. Playable. Voice acting is pretty bad. Mission design quite repetitive and not in a fun way. Controls are definitely not modern. Handbrake is useless, unless you want to crash everytime you use it. Minimap and arrows are not very precise too. I can see how it could have been a decently fun game in 2009, but right now it's a bit too janky for me. I would rather replay the good old Chase H.Q. on NES for some quick fun in similar fashion.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An underwhelming open-world racing game, that let's you do missions and smash cars. If that's an itch you need to have scratched casually, this could do the trick for a short while, if your expectations aren't very high.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, pretty solid game. It's fun to drive around and crash into stuff, and the campaign has some pretty fun missions too with some different mechanics beyond just driving. Definitely worth a few bucks, this game is super cheap on sale, and for the price you get a pretty good racing game nobody knows about. One last thing: this game has absolutely the *worst* voice acting you've ever heard in a game. But it's pretty hilarious, so that paired with the really.. weird script just makes the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ASS GAME!!!! the graphics are TERRIBLE THAT YOUR EYES HURT even if you have everything on max settings......this game looks like a knockoff of a GTA game that you can download on your phone.....oh and the voice acting is TRASH......even I put more work into my homework, so don not buy it ;)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game and very cheap,and has a story and long gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun overall in the storyline and just general play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you put in the gameplay style of Need For Speed, the graphics of Burnout and the physical mechanics of Flatout into your video game pie, you get this beautiful piece of moving pixels....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad very cool game you can feel GTA vibes. Graphics looks amazing for 2009 game on ultra settings. Voice acting is not the best. I think it would be better if they kept original german voices from cobra 11 tv show and added english subtitles.Anyway for $1 you can't complain much. Very decent nice game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They cooked with this one
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worth every penny. A must-have for fans of the original TV show. It even has a decent modding community.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the CT franchise this is the 4th best out of the 5 CT games in my opinion. The game in the last place is CT5 which I do like a lot so this says a lot about these games made by Synetic. If It's CT franchise or World Racing 1 and 2 or Kobra 11 Nitro, all the games are fun and are absolutely worth the buy. Looking forward to buy WR2 and CT5 (when it comes out on Steam).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didnt really feel that good, was a mediocre game, but for what I paid, I'm fine with it. Just that it felt very lazily made and scripted....only a bunch of dialogues with severe level of cringe in them....not really worth getting
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, great story line, I love how there is voice-acting too. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game, very similar to number 2, not much has changed. Voice acting is terrible Music is terrible Story is terrible But there's just something about this game that makes me want to complete it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My first impression was: 60/100. But when you realize this is a fun arcade driving game in a German city, you will maybe love it. As I do ^^ Rating: 90/100 Ignore the voice acting and quality of story :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is so good for its age! I was a little bit skeptical at first because it's pretty much unknown and cheap but THE CRASH PHYSICS are so good for a game released in 2009! The career is really nice aswell but the races are way too long. The voice acting is also really enjoyable and funny! This game is worth to buy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect for its price. And its cobra 11
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cheap unfunny racing car. I bough it because it was my first car game. Unlucky experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the original crash time , i also loved crash time 2 and to be honest this game is really a good sequal and its tons of fun and for the price tag of 5€ its defenetly a good game to pick up and play from time to time. if it ever gets a little stale there are a ton of mods out there that are nice to fool around with. over all i love this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game, it isn't the best in anything, the story and voice acting aren't very good, but the game is a lot of fun. There are a lot of different cars, ranging from sports cars to trucks and the car's damage physics are good too. The maps (highway and city) are not huge, but big enough for the game and they look quite realistic. The story missions are also quite unique and fun (and if you complete the story you will unlock some additional "stunt" levels). You can also freely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Negatives: Quirky voice acting (especially in the English dub), silly missions and confusing story line. Positives: Graphics, choice of cars, landscape, unique in its setting, good handling I just love the series for their sense of speed, destruction and German automobile worshipping. Edit: Even after years I like going back to the Crash Time games once in a while. Not so much for great gameplay but for a bit of fooling around and wasting time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game ! one of the better arcade driving games i have played that has Wheel support (G29) on sale $1.49
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such an epic game. It has lot of things to offer then i expected. A recommended game for car racing/chasing simulator loving gamers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →both strange and amazing story recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this while on sale a few weeks back. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to GTA than this is probably what you are going for. The controls could be a little bit more versatile but overall I liked the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is decent but it's only 6$ (I got it for 1) Pros Fun gameplay Great world Tons of detail(It feels very European) Good Campaign Funny Physics Cons The game is short Voice acting/Graphics/AI are pretty dated Great cheap way to pass time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like NFS games of old
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game if you like Physics fun and destruction, aswell pursuits and racing. I would say there's bether driving physics in this game than Grand Theft Auto 5. For what your paying that is pretty good, story line is pretty linear, it is fun sandboxing and just screwing around.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say, the game is pretty boring for me. The English is also not that well spoken in the voice acting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Game 11/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a simple racing game, but it's effective. The idea? Race around streets at high speed, catching crooks, shooting at suspects, ramming enemies and winning races. Other than 4 or 5, this may very well be the next best Crash Time game, other than maybe Alarm for Cobra 11: Nitro. Good graphics, fun gameplay, and nonstop hardcore action! Great for racing die-hards who have an interest in protecting the innocent while loving spectacular crashes! Not to forget about the absolutely awesome music,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crash Time III, developed by Synetic and published by Kalypso Media Digital, is the third installment in the "Crash Time" series, released on November 25, 2009. Building upon the foundations laid by its predecessors, the game offers an expansive open-world environment, a variety of vehicles, and a storyline inspired by the German television series Alarm für Cobra 11. While it may not have garnered widespread critical acclaim, it has found a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its unique blend of…
