    Assetto Corsa is the new benchmark for console racing games, truly a masterpiece, the real driving simulation.

    The tracks themselves are spot on, and playing through the cockpit view, it’s easy to get an appreciation on how challenging some of them really are.

    Simply, the best driving simulator ever released on console. Courageous and inspired.

    This simulator is everything that fans of racing can ask for. There isn’t any other game that achieves its feeling of driving a car at a high speed while you struggle with the steering wheel and try to get some tenths of a second at every corner.

    Kunos Simulazioni successfully moved the game to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, its a game completely focused on the simulation and that promises to be a benchmark in the genre.

    Assetto Corsa is a simulation in the strictest sense of the term, a unique experience on Playstation 4 and Xbox One. The Made in Italy of videogames.

    Assetto Corsa is a great-looking, excellent-sounding, meticulously crafted simulation that offers a very realistic racing experience. Its authenticity does come at a cost, however - it's very difficult to drive well, and requires a considerable investment of your time to get the most out of it. However, if you're a hardcore racing enthusiast who loves a challenge, Assetto Corsa is one of the best driving sims available.

    A true racing simulator that may not be appealing for every player, but manages to offer a different view of the racing genre on consoles.

    The console version of Assetto Corsa is a story of courage and ambition. If you love motorsports and you have a driving wheel, this is a must buy for the simple reason that you won't find a better simulation on consoles. If you play with a traditional joypad, you'll find a much more difficult (and sometimes frustrating) title. Assetto Corsa is a very good porting, and like its PC counterpart, it's bound to improve greatly in the upcoming months.

    Assetto Corsa for consoles is not so visually compelling if we compare it with the PC version, but it is still a good choice for driving simulation lovers.

    Assetto Corsa shakes up the world of racing with a before unknown realism. Although realistic, there are several factors that makes that Assetto Corsa can't totally compete with Forza and Gran Turismo just yet.

    Assetto Corsa is a fantastic racing sim in terms of gameplay and sensations, but it lacks a bit of content right now, and suffers some graphics issues on consoles.

    Technically and content-wise, Assetto Corsa falls a little bit short, but gameplay-wise is really depth and realistic, and we're sure it'll satisfy your racing simulation needs.

    Forza and GranTurismo titles are unreachable content-wise, but Assetto Corsa's driving model blows every competitor in the console market out of the water.

    Assetto Corsa is a very rare product in the modern gaming landscape. A rigorous driving simulator, an unique title especially on consoles, where usually prevail different kinds of racing games.

    Kunos Simulazioni offers a successful console edition on Assetto Corsa in the gameplay aspect, with many options that make the experience really enjoyable for those keen on driving simulation. However, the game lacks visual quality, with some elements looking as if they came right out of the old-gen, something that sets the game kind of far from other driving games.

    It's a bit simplistic, but other than that, Assetto Corsa is a fine racing simulator.

    -Best driving physics in the business, most intense and realistic feeling inside the cars
    -Superb Sound (Engine and environment)
    -Nice made Cars and Tracks
    -Drifting is hell of a fun

    Things i dont like:

    -Screen Tearing all over the place, even in Replays its really bad, so you cant enjoy watching your cars driving. Its ugly. The game looks very unfinished because of this fact

    -It unplayable with a Gamepad. I even say the worst racing game with gamepad out there. The argument that you HAVE to play it with a wheel is true but if the developers release the game for consoles they have to make sure the game is playable with a Pad. Because not everyone has a 400 Dollar Wheel at home.

    -No Adjustments for the Wheel. Only Force Feedback is adjustable

    -Not many Cars. Like in Gran turismo there are about 3-5 different versions of one Car. Who needs so many BMW´s and Lotuses. Are the developers BMW Fanatics ?

    -Not many Tracks and all of them are in Europe. No Tracks in North america, Japan. No Laguna Seca, Bathurst, Willow Springs or Suzuki Circuit ? But the Boring Monza is in the game. WOW

    -Field of View is only adjustable in the Main Menu. Every car is different. Its important for me personally to Change my position in the Cockpit.

    -The AI is way too strong. They are fast....thats cool. I see it as a motivation. But they also are ruthless and unfair. They push you out of their way, so you can continue your race on the green. They dont give a F....
    Even on the easiest mode its difficult to become 1st or 2nd. BTW im not a noob in this Genre. I play Project Cars, RFactor, GT, Forza since this games exist.

    -The Presentation of the game. The Cars, Tracks, the Career Mode is literally Zero. There is no Presentation.
    You cross the finish line and 2 Seconds later you appear in the pit. That is only a good example of the presentation of the whole game. Everything is boring and dull.

    -The game is unplayable in the third person view. The movement of the car is weird and unrealistic. See it on youtube videos if you want

    You cant compare this game to Forza, GT or Project Cars. It may have the best Driving physics in the game but as a whole package its very far behind his competitors. Graphically its not really spectacular and the performance is bad.
    On the PC this game is good, no question. But on Console it is unfinished, like a Alpha or Beta version. For a Price of 46 Dollars i would everyone recommend buying Project Cars GOTY, Forza 6 or wait for GT Sport. Dont waste your money guys. By all the Love to Cars and racing. But in this condition the game is not an option. They have to put more work to the game and patch it.
    Im thankful i only borrowed the game from a friend.

    I hope i could help.

    If what you are looking for is the best, most accurate driving representation of driving a car, this is the best game out there on consoles.If what you are looking for is the best, most accurate driving representation of driving a car, this is the best game out there on consoles. Physics and FFB feel amazing, every single car feels different. Graphics are good although there isn't as much 'decoration' as most simcade racing games tend to offer it's just you, the track and your opponents. Sounds are excellent too. Buy this if you own a racing wheel you won't regret it. Stay clear if you are looking for a lighthearted racing game as this is just about the driving/ racing in a realistic way and the AI won't make it easy for you.… Full Review »

    Played mostly with G29 and Patch 1.01

    Don't buy this game! It's a scam! Full of serious (crash) and annoying bug, extremely weak or bad    Played mostly with G29 and Patch 1.01

    Don't buy this game! It's a scam!

    Full of serious (crash) and annoying bug, extremely weak or bad design choices in both game and UI (the game doesn't explain the meaning of an option or the choices available for it and what happens if you choose a value or another one), insufficient features, trophies which pop-up without satisfy the required condition, stupid AI (in comparison Driveclub AI was devastated but this is worse) scam advertising (where are the cars showed in every youtube preview video released in august just before the release?), bug, bug, and bug again.

    The career mode is NOT fun. Repetitive and lacks of progression. It's too difficult and it penalizes the player when he tries to achieve a better results even if the most difficult goal is yet achieved. Bug are frequently and annoying.

    Graphics (overall) is quite good and better than my expectations. Cockpit view as FOV regulation
    Very good sounds effects/engine.
    Replay is acceptable but with tearing.

    Wheel is strongly recommended. PAD is acceptable with most of the cars.

    Conceptually this is a bad game from the 90' (In 2016 I cannot see the entire replay of my single lap race on the Nurburgring and it started from the middle race. Are you kidding me???) with a very good and fun simulation.
    The developers don't have the required game design, technical knowledge and experience to develop a PC simulator into a full game and then port it to the console.
    Console market is extremely different and they haven't understood this foundation.

    The only thing that works is the accurate simulation. But it is not enough to justify all the previous lacks and sell it as a fully functional game (and almost at full price).
    Quality (not quantity) is light years far away from other titles (Forza/GT/Project Cars/Dirt Rally/Driveclub) which are the actual reference in the market.

    last but not least I wonder to know how it had passed the sony and MS certifications before the release. This is something not good for the market health.

    PS:
    -99% of press/website/youtube reviews are false. Don't thrust them. Prove is the big difference between press and users scores.
