    First you have to know that this game has not yet been released, it is still in open beta phase! Metacritic staff, please correct this error.
    To the game/beta itself:
    People complaining about arcade physics, too much understeer and alike should check two things: Are you driving in amateur mode? If so, switch to the "Get Real" mode.

    To the game/beta itself:

    People complaining about arcade physics, too much understeer and alike should check two things: Are you driving in amateur mode? If so, switch to the "Get Real" mode. If you are using Get Real mode adjust the cars setup, it's up to you how your car behaves.
    For me physics are good, better than in previous Simbin titles.
    Graphics are decent but personally I would have wished for a bigger improvement compared to RACE07, it doesn't look as much better as I expected.
    The sound is great, just watch a replay, switch to a fixed camera and turn up the volume. You will hear the car all the way round the track, it's really impressive.
    There isn't much AI at the moment, but you can do a track test with 6 AI-drivers and supposedly they already use the "Adaptive AI" mode which does what it says, it adapts the AIs performance to yours.
    Leaderboard challenge is fun and allows you to challenge any other drivers ghost, which helps you improve a lot.
    There's already been a few challenges in some of which you could win prizes like Intel hardware or KW vouchers. You don't have to buy any content for challenges, you can participate even if you don't own the car used for the challenge, Try-before-you-buy challenges let you try a car for a limited time.
    There's still many things missing, a lot of which are going to be there when it's released. The biggest question mark for me is the pricing system. At the moment content is pretty expensive and there aren't discount packages. But I guess market dynamics will force them to make special offers once it's released.

    At the moment 8/10 for me cause it has got a lot potential.    … Expand

    I wrote a review for this game in March 2013 (one month after original release). At the time I gave it a 3, based on it's (then I thought) misleading 'free to play' claim. I have returned almost 8 years later to update my thought.

    Over the years Raceroom has become by far my favourite racing sim and is now among the leading simulations of motorsport. The graphics are a little bit dated but the racing itself, the AI, the physics, the FFB and the sound (wow!) are very good indeed and, more importantly, always being improved with regular updates.

    There is now a very good genuinely 'free to play' base game with a good (but of course small) collection of cars and tracks. There is also now, 7+ years on, a vast amount of paid tracks (50+) and cars (approaching 150) all of which are outstandingly good.

    This is now a superb game that deserves a look from anyone interested in high quality motorsports simulation.    … Expand

    Uno de los mejores simuladores. Eso si hay que saber comprar (En packs) para no perderte en sus micropagos, ahora tienes todo el contenido por 50eu. Gran simulador, buenas fisicas, gran ffb y el mejor sonido... Para jugar contra la IA diria que el mejor...

    Great free to play sim-racing, but. A downfall is DLC, which makes poor player can't accessible.
