Free-to-play online driving experience

Drive Zone Online is a free-to-play racing app from Jet Games FZ-LLC. This fast-paced driving game lets you drive the car of your choice and roam around an open city. Better yet, this game has working multiplayer support that lets you meet new friends within its servers. Challenge them to street races or just hang out and show off your customized wheels.

Drive Zone Online has a lot of customization options, an in-game achievements list, and visually appealing external visuals. Its few optimization issues are forgivable, making it a good Need for Speed Underground 2 alternative.

Drive your stuff around town

Drive Zone Online commits itself to creating a realistic experience. Players are treated to high-resolution textures on the vehicles and set design. Enjoy the glossy finish on your sports car, or legibly read details on custom paint jobs, some of which even feature pop culture references. Whether you drive a Lamborghini Aventador or a Jeep Wrangler, this visual quality is consistent, except for the driver’s view inside the car.

Drive around town at max speeds or customize your car. This game offers intuitive gameplay aspects to each activity. In terms of customization, its level of detail and accessibility is on par with Need for Speed games, letting you build your dream car down to the most minor details. However, most features need to be bought with in-game currency earned from doing tasks.

As a multiplayer game, however, it seems to have its overloaded moments. Even with a good internet connection, there are intermittent cases of the game slowing down, especially with many online players. The worst-case scenario is when the game freezes, and you have to restart the app all over again. Additionally, there are instances where certain in-game assets do not load properly, although only temporarily.

Ride around with friends

As a driving game with good visual quality, Drive Zone Online is a rare kind of mobile app that caters to both the racers and the customizers. You are put in an open area and given the freedom to do what you want. With its online support, you can even find people with the same interests as you. However, its servers could use a bit more work to minimize issues.
