    Amazing graphics look with good arcade drive model. Launch of this game is big fail, but after all updates game is a lot of better. Not for hardcore drivers, only for causals players.

    While Driveclub had its problems with the online servers at launch it still holds up as a good racing game. I had many hours of fun driving around the tracks. A nice variety of tracks, cars, acheivements and challenges can keep you going. However I think the lack of customization was a disappointment and the fact they seemed to split up the game into different DLC.

    Controls: This is where people will argue a bit about. It's aracade like. The drifting and driving mechanics are forgiving, if you like racing sims this won't be your cup of tea. If you like casual racing like Need for Speed Shift then this might be up your alley.

    Sound: vehicles sound great and depending on whether your in the drivers perspective or not the sound changes. Tires screech wonderfully when drifting. However the music, which is pretty good (being a mix of techno and rock), is OFF as a default setting. Why?!

    Gameplay: The tours, single events and challenges are fun and addictive. Winning stars unlocks cars, it's almost like a FPS progression system (or maybe I just don't play enough racing games. However, one of the most intriguing things about Driveclub is the clubs and the social aspect. Unfortunately for the past two days ONLINE FEATURES HAVE BEEN OFF, meaning I haven't been able to enjoy the game as developers have been touting about for so long.

    Conclusion: great game for gamers looking to drop in and out of races. Racing through Norway, India, Chile, and other places is great fun. But cars feel limited at 50, and the possibility of more cars only through PAID DLC rubs me the wrong way. It's a beautiful racing game, but NOT A RACE SIM, that sounds great and has a "social" identity. But I can NOT forgive the servers being down and a huge aspect of the game not being accessible. I would have scored it an 8 depending on multiplayer but can't until I try it.    … Expand

    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.

    A somewhat arcade style racing game, with uninspired track design and not enough cars out of the box. With free and paid for DLC, the car count has climbed to a reasonable level, but it's clear there was a plan to milk Driveclub from the start.

    To be fair, the game has got progressively better since its troublesome launch, and a few tracks have been added too (though as of yet not integrated into the rather short Tour mode). The promise of realism is largely broken – cars all feel the same to drive, and have ratings bars to replace actual critical stats such as acceleration, power and top speed. The online aspect was nowhere near as "social" as I'd hoped, and most challenges sent by friends were left unanswered as there was no real incentive to complete them.

    However, Driveclub does look amazing. Both the cars and the surroundings are gorgeous, and can be captured brilliantly with the game's photo mode. It's a shame the game wasn't as good as I'd hoped, because it looks like no other game I've seen. It's also a shame there are no licences tracks, as the developers would have done a fantastic job recreating them.

    However, the most disappointing thing of all is the lack of variation in cars. No Japanese models at all, no American cars until a few updates ago. The good thing is you can pick this game up for virtually nothing now, so it's worth a gamble. It gets a seven as it has improved remarkably since launch, but it's no GT or Forza.    … Expand

Raming from behind for no reason whatsoever, overtaking and slowing down for no apparent reason.

    No aside from technical pros of the game, there isn't that much to do, the connection is still bad, loading times for online features are extraordinary. If you somehow lose the connection then your point wont be added to club points. The whole levelling system looks fun, and is addictive, but iv'e completed all the events and collected all the stars in just few days. And what now? Multiplayer? It does not work. Repeating the same tracks? Maybe that's all you can do.

    It's a shame that this what we get as PS4 exclusive. I think that the company which developed and created game set an unrealistic goals to release the game at a particular time, and they failed miserably. All I hope that we will get driveclub 2 in the future with all the stuff that supposed to be in the game.    … Expand

    So I've played it for a bit more and now I understand what this game is. As a realistic driving game, it doesn't do a very good job because the way the cars handle is far from how they would handle in real life. As a fun racing game it does the job well for more casual racers.

As a realistic driving game, it doesn't do a very good job because the way the cars handle is far from how they would handle in real life. As a fun racing game it does the job well for more casual racers.

    It does this because it is much easier to get into, learn how to throw the car around the track and have a fun racing experience that does not involve staring at a holographic racing line waiting for it to turn red. This is thanks to the short braking distances, so you don't have to spend half an hour learning the brake points of each track so you don't go blundering into a gravel pit if you brake 50m too close to a turn (which isn't even possible in DC, thanks to invisible walls). So in DriveClub you would learn a track and have fun with it in 4 minutes, while in say F1 2013 you'd have to spend up to an hour to learn the track and tweak your car before you can really set some lap times.

    So for a game to get casual gamers a taste of the thrill of racing, this game succeeds... initially.

    Unfortunately the single player mode is really poor for a racing game - you basically either do races, drift events and time trials and complete objectives to get 3 stars in each event. Compared to Codemasters racing games, this career mode is just rubbish. In TOCA you race multiple championships, each a different racing series - V8 supercars, street racing, open wheelers, rally, German touring cars (DTM) and classic cars to name a few. In Dirt 3 there are also different types of events - Rally stages in Finland, Norway, Kenya, Monaco, Michigan, rallycross, Trailblazer events with insanely fast and dangerous cars, Buggies, Trophy trucks and Gymkhana, and the tracks are challenging and extremely rewarding when you do a run without a mistake. In F1 there's a full season career mode where for each race you have practice sessions to learn the track, tweak your car and drive until your lap times are on par with the AI's. Then there are the qualifying sessions where you have to drive your best to get a good grid spot which could mean the difference between a race result of 15th or 1st. Then you have the actual race that could last from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours which is a test of endurance not to make a mistake and consistently drive fast, and there's pit stops so you have to manage your tyres. Then there's DriveClub's career mode, where you drive similar tracks in either a hot hatch, a sports car or a supercar, and there's three objectives to do. And you'd have finished it in 10 or so hours.

    For a racing game focussing on non-racing cars, its car list very small, which is made much worse because it is not diverse at all.

    For the few multiplayer races I did, every race I was spun out, and in the end I didn't have a good impression from it.

    Doing the face-off challenges are fun, but it kinda feels like i'm wasting time driving the same stretch of road repeatedly, while I could be doing so much more in other racing games I have.

    I'll give it a 7/10, because that's what it would probably feel like for the people this game is suited for. However I'm not going to play this game much because it made me realise I can have a better experience in other racing games that I already have.    … Expand

    Driveclub is comprehensively the best looking racing game I've ever played. Evolution Studios should be praised for the mind blowing consistency across the cars and the tracks. It always appears photo realistic, and anyone who's in denial of this needs to have their eyes tested. This is an opinion of course, but I have reason to consider this more of a fact.

    HOWEVER, Driveclub, in essence is a conventional arcade racer, that attempts to divide itself from other racing titles (with mini challenges within races such as average speed face offs and drifting, not to mention clubs) but none of these features have ever ensured its individuality. Much like the studio's last title, Motorstorm, it's nothing particularly special, but it's by no means a bad game.

    If you have a PS4 and love cars, I do recommend picking this up just so you can drool over the beauty of the mostly European models, but this is no adequate substitute for Gran Turismo. You'll be much better off buying this game cheap. It has some promising DLC coming up, with both payed and free DLC packs released on a monthly basis until June 2015, but only buy the DLC if you think the game itself is good enough.

The cars I've raced feel different on handling (using a controller), the single player is similar to other games but it's good with the friends leader-board for each event challenging you to go one better than your friends. If you join a club you can unlock additional cars and challenge other clubs with your good times. It has a very fast feel to it, so I'm not sure how it would be on a wheel with FFB....it might just be a bit too quick.

    Graphics are alright, nothing spectacular compared to PC racing games. Better than anything I've seen on the PS3 as you'd expect, but I was expecting a bit more.

    Audio is alright, again nothing spectacular but good enough.

    Multiplayer even worked when trying it which I didn't expect after all the server issues on release. It is slow to start a race though, and there is a bug if you join a friends session and then start a single player race (it doesn't join the MP session and stops your SP race).

    Definitely not a bad racing game by any stretch of the imagination, especially considering the relatively low amount of racing games on the PS4 alongside it, such as The Crew, Ride and NFS: Rivals.

Honestly I wasn't expecting much from it based on things I heard about it in the past, but once I played it, I put that outlook behind me, What I found was a very solid racing game as a whole. The driving is tight and challenging, encouraging lift-off to aid going around corners, the detail and textures, particularly in vehicles and particle effects are stunningly photorealistic, particularly the rain effects (the best I've seen in a game so far), and personally I loved playing in the first person camera. It felt dynamic, like every little input you made had an effect.
    On the negative side though, my one major complaint regards the Tour mode. I've played a lot of racing game careers, and Driveclub, I thought had one of the most shallow career modes I have ever experienced. The progress you make in career is tangential to the leveling system, the latter which measures "Fame" (think PGR's Kudos but in Driveclub) in all game modes, which you earn to unlock cars and liveries mainly. Because of that I felt that there was no reason to play the Career, but just continue racing and drifting again and again. I mean, what are the career stars materially earning me?
    Other complaints, the driving can get TOO challenging in extreme conditions, the soundtrack could be more inspired, the damage, while incorporating detailed scratches is generally weak and the events are too strict, deducting Fame for veering off-road and hitting the track or other cars.
    Overall thought, if you're looking for a pure social racing experience, I'd recommend getting it at a lower price, maybe €30 or so. Don't expect much from the game though, the single-player experience is shallow at best, play multiplayer for the best Driveclub experience.    … Expand

    I bought it on Amazon for $30 bucks and I rather enjoyed it. It did more right than wrong unlike The Crew. It has nice graphics, decent physics engine, good online interface and a nice variety of race modes. However limiting the vehicle roster to only European Marquees was a little disappointing (I knew this going in) but the vehicles are represented very well in their rendering. Also the online club, modes and challenges are excellent.

    This game has 1 major problem though, Mobile Racing games. Yes, Your cell phone probably has access to a better racing game. I refer more specifically to Real Racing 3. While the graphics won't match up for obvious reasons the physics model is just as good and offers a better variety of cars and more of them (50 vs 109) with time shunted multi-player. Also it offers real racing damage that degrades the cars performance offer incentive to drive better and not crash about. Also you can mod and tune (in a limited fashion) almost every vehicle.

    I am glad I was not an early adopter and missed its tumultuous release. However it is an enjoyable and beautiful game to play if you want something that isnt too serious simulation like. I recommend it but, again, not for more than 30 bucks.    … Expand

    Gorgeous graphics, varied locations, a great soundtrack and a decent selection of cars are the highlights. Unfortunately Driveclub does have some serious rubberbanding issues that can leave you feeling a bit cheated. Car damage and customization is also lacking. 7/10

    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.

    When you're on the track Driveclub is stunning to behold, but it's held back by a lack of event types. [Christmas 2014, p.74]

    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]
