    This is an enjoyable racing game, it is a bummer that the online component had issues but it is getting fixed. The game looks fantastic and the dynamic weather update made it even more so. I like the different country s that the tracks are set in but a few more would've been great. The game is load of fun to play, I had no interest until I played a retail demo. Soon after that I bought the game.

    awesome game, handling seems alright to me. The graphics are stunning especially at night. The single player game is brilliant with loads of different types of tour events and cars to unlock for the single race games. These can be raced in all the playable countries with varied tracks layouts. Can't wait for the weather
    effect update, it will make a stunning game even better.

    Even if it's really frustrating that online doesn't work yet it's a really good racing game! Physics is really true to real life and you need to stay sharp while driving or it will end badly, so very challenging. Nice big fun maps where you can get some really high speed before that thigh corner that will **** you up if not consentrated. Cars are really nice to! Looks amazing.

    Driveclub launched badly, no denying that. The problem is that this has stuck and has affected how people see this game now. I held off for a a couple of months to let the patches come into effect and now this has been done there is nothing wrong with this game at all. My only gripe is that its hard :)

    Gorgeous looking, diverse locations, utter joy to play. The range of cars is good and they have a pleasing heft. Best racing game on PS4 way more fun than last Gran Turismo. Reminded me heavily of the old TOCA series: emphasis on speed, fun and close racing. Do not understand the low scores - best £20 I've spent this year 8/10.

    This game get a bad rep from its early days, but now it's an entirely different matter.
    The game is fun, it works flawlessly, and if you also get the season pass, has an absurd amount of content.

    One of the best racing games I've ever played.

    Well, having waited for the price to come down to £20 bar, I have to say this is a really fun game. The graphics are amazing, sound and music are thrilling and the handling is spot on. This is my favourite racing game and even though it is hard, it feels rewarding.

    Recommended if you are looking for a racing game that is semi serious. This is not a simulation, nor is it an arcade game, it lies somewhere in the middle; Which is exactly what I was hoping for. There are so many things to consider, such as how the night, rain etc. affect the view up ahead and whether someone will bash into your bumper. These all add to the tension, just as you can bump someone off the road too.

    Gave the game a 9/10. Being a project gotham fan, this game is right up my alley. The challenges in the clubs is really fun and the game is jaw droppingly gorgeous.

    The online is solid once you get into a room, but still a little ropey when refreshing challenges outstanding etc.

    Being someone who's got this game after a few patches and a recent content update I can tell you it's one of the best games on the PS4 right now and one of the best console racers I've played.

    Let's take a step back from all of the reviews here and get this clear - Driveclub IS an arcade racer, that is immediately apparent on your first drive so if you're expecting a sim then wait for Project Cars or GT. If you want a casual racer that looks beautiful, has been built around an online experience and you aren't bothered that this game isn't trying to be a serious racer then you'll enjoy yourself - very much so.

    Driving physics are relatively simple, cars brake quickly and turn very responsively. You can easily handle when it goes into a slide and you're rarely see yourself arse wrong way on the track. They don't feel heavy, it's like a mix between Ridge Racer and GRID.

    The graphics, especially weather visuals are amazing - in this sense Driveclub is in a league of it's own and I think this has distorted peoples views on what this game was trying to be, despite is achieving a stunning realistic look it is still trying to be arcade at the core.

    There are two points that lose the perfect 10 from me though and it has been mentioned a few times; the online racing is dirty and there is no motivation to try and take the corners properly. To give you a normal scenario, someone can just use you as a brake and usually come out of top to your frustration and it's something I sincerely hope is patched.

    The online experience isn't bad now from a technical point; I've been kicked out of my session a few times but not often, but this for it's still shaky stability loses it a point. I'm impressed by how easy it is to use though and this does give it massive scope to improve.    … Expand

    Great racing game. Yeah it took a while to get to this state, but when I tried out the PS plus version I ended up buying it. And I usually don't like racing games that much. Graphics are awesome, and the game plays great. Driveclub probably deserved the horrible reviews when it released, but now they have to come from trolls or those that suck at driving games.

Однако, вскоре после опытных заездов в этой игре сменил гнев на милость. Это именно те гонки, которые с гордостью можно воткнуть на границе жанров между мыльными аркадами и сухими хардкорными симуляторами. Игра вернула меня к тому любимому времени, когда гонки были гонками, а не супер блокбастерами с головокружительным сюжетом, взрывами, прокачкой и.. и даже иногда автомобилями! Здесь всё на своих местах: есть автомобили, есть трассы (объединённые в стилизованное туры), есть основные авторежимы (спринт, гонка, дрифт), есть добротная визуальная составляющая с хорошим звуком. Ничего лишнего. Вот как должна была выглядеть NFS сегодня. Разве что тюнинг можно было добавить для любителей подобного, но так уж сложилось, что я не отношу себя к их числу. На закате игры можно определённо сказать, что игра удалась! Что касается сезонного абонемента и вышедших дополнений, то его бы стоило купить в первую очередь ради дополнительного автопарка. Дождливые и ночные заезды скорее раздражают, чем приносят удовольствие. Лично я бы с удовольствием отключил капли дождя с экрана, как это элементарно реализовано в Project Cars. Слепая езда ночью в проливной дождь на сверхмощных гиперавтомобилях по извилистым и узким трассам попахивает мазохизмом. Такие заезды хочется забыть поскорее и не вспоминать более никогда. Совсем другое дело гонки в светлое время суток: даже если где-то сложно одержать победу - хочется пробовать вновь и вновь, как например финальная дуэль в туре Mersedes на AMG GT3. Руль весьма кстати. В общем всем любителям автогонок рекомендую - пропускать нельзя!… Expand

And yet AI is ridiculously bad, so bad that everyone who played the game is complaining about, starting with the same models of the cars controlled by AI will overtake you as if you were standing. 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

    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]
