WeChat Speed All Star Race Game

Are you on WeChat? Well, the past couple of days had me hooked on their latest game WeChat Speed which is available for download for iOS and Android devices. This time around, they have worked with various Malaysian celebrities, aptly named the WeChat Speed All Star Race, where the top three players under each team will get a chance to play live with the celebrity.

The game is simple enough, race under your favourite celebrity's team, buy the best car, upgrade your car, and get the best score. The six celebrities which we can follow and contribute to them are listed as follows. We have Adam C, Adrian Chan, Diana Daniella, Elfira Loy, DJ JJ, and Yumi Wong to play for. Remember, the top three players will get a chance to play live with the stars and win various prizes.

Choosing to play in Elfira Loy's team, I was surprised by the top players' scores. I mean, my measly score of 566k can hardly hold a candle towards their fiery flames. Oh well, at least the game is fun, which I will be reviewing below on my playing experience.

The competition runs from 19th May to 15th June 2014, so be sure to choose your team early. If you decide to change your team, the score which you have amassed will be resetted. The top celebrity team so far is Yumi Wong, followed closely by Diana Danielle and Adam C.

Starting off in WeChat Speed is simple enough, with a starting racer avatar of this cool dude Brian aka the passionate newcomer. As we amass more points and diamonds, we are able to purchase other avatars with special skills. I managed to purchase Emily with her rather cool "Auto-collect coins" ability.

Racers start off with the default race car at class C. As more coins are collected from the races, new and faster cars can be purchased, to enable us to collect higher game points. Each of the car can be modified as well using the in-game coins to have a higher acceleration, max speed, and better fuel economy.

Basically only three virtual buttons are used, the left, right and jump button. Everything else is basically automated, with the objective of staying in the race as long as possible to rack up the score. The moment fuel runs out, the race ends, which is pretty abrupt at the beginning stages of the game. I do like the colourful and rather cool graphics and sound, although the scenery does get rather repeatable as we move along the stages.

Using the boosts inside WeChat Speed to gain a higher score sometimes require coins and diamonds. Fret not though, as there are various ways to earn free diamonds to get a higher score. Here I will be listing down some of the methods to get free diamonds. 

Bronze Star Event
  • Complete a race and join a team - 50 diamonds
  • Invite friends to the race for 5 times - 100 diamonds
  • Reach a score of 100,000 - 100 diamonds
Silver Star Event
  • Complete a race with a Class B car or above - 50 diamonds
  • Share your score in the All Star Race once on WeChat moments -  150 diamonds
  • Reach a score of 180,000 - 150 diamonds
Gold Star Event
  • Reach a score of 250,000 - 200 diamonds
  • Have 25 game friends - 300 diamonds
  • Make the top 200 of your current team - 300 diamonds

Now that's a huge truckload of diamonds, without the need to purchase any. So be sure to collect these diamonds as there's a time limit to it. Sharing daily to your WeChat moments will net you 5 diamonds each day too! There is also a daily prize of 1000 coins, and five hearts: Log in 7 days and you get free 50 diamonds.
