    Servers are closed, so you can't play so many DLCs. Gameplay and graphics are amazing—one of the best graphics for the PS4, but I can't play the full game in 2023.

    It's an interesting game, all kinds of races that can exist in a car ride are available in this game, in addition to the ability to select stages selectively and choose the time and weather conditions, this game also has Tour, basically available from the very beginning. but the other modes must be purchased separately, the online competitions of this game were also attractive (currently,It's an interesting game, all kinds of races that can exist in a car ride are available in this game, in addition to the ability to select stages selectively and choose the time and weather conditions, this game also has Tour, basically available from the very beginning. but the other modes must be purchased separately, the online competitions of this game were also attractive (currently, this game is no longer serviced for the online part) two types of challenge competitions in which players must break the challenge designer's record and competitions There was online multiplayer, but I am most interested in the main menu songs of this game, the main menu songs have a really relaxing feeling and convey the feeling that you want to go outside after listening to these songs.

    The game is average at best. Physics are pretty good and it's overall balanced. The biggest issue lies with the games identity. It doesn't really have one.

    Nice graphics and cool locations. I got bored after a while because it is nothing more than just unlocking cars and tracks. Nevertheless, a nice game.

    Not even speaking about the rage caused by update which makes the BR-disc-distributed copy absolutely different new game, because the weather system included within update helps gameplay very slightly.

    The graphics itself is amazing, though it hurts playability and design of some tracks due to visibility issues. As I'm aware of difficulties of driving a car in real life, being able to see nothing on the screen during dusk makes it hard to move in high velocities with help of what the game offers.

    The physics suited me, average mortal not playing with steering wheel, who demands some progress in single-player campaign, not repeating one track over and over to attain pure perfection. However some of the tasks like drifting and drags like borrowed from NFS franchise do not seem proper in this game. And they feel quite boring, because it requires me to repeat one track over and over to attain pure perfection working with physics that cannot decide whether it should be simulation or pure arcade.

    When you start to feel bored after 10-15 races, you start to realize that one does not need more than one car. After 30 races you start to realize that you should change the car just for making something less boring. I do not deem this well-tested game design.

    My last sentence hit the spot. This game is quite good in parts. Graphics, mechanics, content. But together, it feels like tremendous amount of gameplay testing would help the entire image.
    Unfortunately, the developers decided to solve this situation by flooding customers with DLCs, additional tracks, car stickers and even events. Like you only bought an engine with demo tracks (which do not use weather system at all) and fun needs to be purchased additionally.

    This could have been a good game. Every team in the studio did great job in fields they were responsible for. But after putting it all together, it feels like it only required some good decisions from the management.    … Expand

    Got PS4 recently for GTS and this game.
    DC such a dissapoinment. 30fps lame circuit races, junky handling, grey graphics... I don' get that hype around this game (particullary graphics deparment) - such garbage compared to Forza Horizon games (even first one). Feel sorry for PS4 only owners who have no many driving/racing games choice on this console.

    Driveclub is a game of mixed talents. Firstly, it is important to realise that this is not a simulator, rather an arcade racer with some excellent gameplay references to the decade old PGR series. The graphics are also awesome - with rain effects being the best that I have ever seen in a racing game.

    The game had hype surrounding it, but it fell on its own promises. The game has a free to play version of it, and it has basically been buggy since the release.

    "Forza Killer' is the most funny joke i heard, Drive Club has beautiful graphics, but Forza still better as in graphics as in gameplay. There's no comparision, is disrespectfull to Forza be compared to Drive Club.

    When I first reviewed Driceclub I gave it a 3 due to the many flaws and bugs within the game. But after Evolution Studios continued to update the game I can happily say I now enjoy Driveclub this is one of the best racers I have played in years. The graphics is stunning and the detail Inside and outside is incredible you can truly see the great work evolution studio did in the graphics department.

    Well it may be ok, but I want game in which when I hit other car driving 200 mph the cars should... just react like they should. See the example Burnout made years ago. I want to drive fast and feel it. Well... I really would love to see another Burnout instead of "Driveclub" "GTurismo" "Forza" tank-car "simulation"...

    It is not a racing simulator, it is not an arcade racing, it's more like a mix... but a bad mix! You might be drifting fully unnaturally and totally arcade-wise through some curves and become really excited! Fantastic graphics, sound and speed, more than happy! And then suddenly... slightly touching beside the tarmac and the car breaks as if it is a hardcore simulator! Unfair!

    Driveclub follows what became a very worrying trend in 2014. Games constantly over promising and constantly under delivering. The true problem with this trend is that it immediately sets a game up for failure which is sad because most games which underperform still have many elements which are worth praising. Whether it be AAA titles such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Assassin'sDriveclub follows what became a very worrying trend in 2014. Games constantly over promising and constantly under delivering. The true problem with this trend is that it immediately sets a game up for failure which is sad because most games which underperform still have many elements which are worth praising. Whether it be AAA titles such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Assassin's Creed Unity or even other driving games such as Ubisoft's The Crew, 2014 was a rocky year which saw many fan expectations go up in flames mainly due to the unrelenting power of the HYPE train. 2014 saw many underperformers and Driveclub is certainly amongst them.

    Driveclub looked to be this amazing next generation online driving game that would push the boundaries of a virtual driving experience. The graphics looked close to reality and the gameplay smooth and enjoyable. However this wasn't to be. The graphics whilst good underdelivered and the gameplay feels clunky and not quite complete. The driving mechanics are poor and personally I believe they can't even compete with Forza 4, a last generation title. It is so easy to lose control of the car that drifting becomes a massive challenge and a rare sight when done properly. Don't mistake this for being an enjoyable challenge. This is poor development and the fact that Driveclub was delayed so that the game could be polished makes it even more of an embarrassment that it is more fun to drive on a last generation xbox exclusive title than on the system seller racer that Driveclub was supposed to be.

    I could criticise Driveclub all day, believe me. However as with most things these days, there are things that it gets right. The progression system is particularly satisfying and gives reason to keep playing. I have a fond memory of unlocking a Maserati at level 5. The sense of achievement you get with every unlock is one of the big things Driveclub does well. The tracks are also very good. The simple variety you get from just reversing the circuit is often more than enough to ensure Driveclub doesn't become tedious, however it far from makes up for poor driving mechanics in a DRIVING game. The driving really is poor and shockingly unrealistic. It feels like your driving a box on wheels.

    In conclusion Driveclub is a mediocre driving game. The satisfying progression system along with good track variety and good graphics, all encourage replay value. However the good graphics are not as good as we expected and are undermined by the gameplay anyway. The gameplay is clunky and in no way does it feel like your driving an ACTUAL car, you can easily tell it's a game is what I'm saying. Mainly though all of Driveclub's negatives emphasise one thing clearly. Even as a hardcore do or die driving game fan, you don't have to or even need to buy it. There are much better driving games about. Funnily enough a lot are on last gen. Go and pick up any Forza game and you'll be happier. If you want to stay on next gen though, just buy Project Cars or wait for the new Need for Speed because in a driving game, driving mechanics are everything.    … Expand

    Driveclub is a must-have for any PS4 racing fan. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys a good arcade racer. It’s challenging, but teaches you how to overcome every single one. Because of this, Driveclub is far more rewarding than its peers. This coupled with fantastic graphical fidelity, impressive sound design, and adrenaline-inducing sense of speed makes Driveclub one of the best racing games available on current-gen systems.

    The sense of speed offered by Driveclub reminded me of the brilliant first GRID and I was having a lot of fun until I realized that cars are indestructible. Whether you stroke a wooden fence or smash into another vehicle at 300 km/h your car drives exactly the same afterwards. [Dec 2014, p.66]
