    Pefect sound design, graphics, car handling, social/online features with great replay value... It is the spiritual successor of PGR, the IP that sadly MS ditched in favor of the much inferior Forza. Now that gap is filled by Drivclub.

    Free for PSN+ users? Awesome, I can play with all of my friends without asking them to buy it. I will spend a lot of hours without spending any extra money.

    The car detail is just as impressive and I keep getting drawn back to stunning visuals in this game having played forza horizon 2 I can say with pride that Driveclub simply beats Forza Horizon 2 in the graphics and visuals department. there may not be as many cars but hey you won't mind the lack of cars because you will enjoy the driving mechanics of the game and yes the controls is amazing.

    The game finally feels complete and polished and I'm looking forward to playing Driveclub for many hours this is truly one amazing racing experience    … Expand

    Driveclub is a different game now to what it was for the first few months so the reviews do not really represent the whole experience as it exists now. There are many more tracks and cars, online play is stable (with a few hiccups here and there), challenges work, the weather system has been implemented and the gameplay has been tweaked in response to people's requests. e.g.Corner andDriveclub is a different game now to what it was for the first few months so the reviews do not really represent the whole experience as it exists now.

    All in all it is a great package with benchmark setting visuals, amazing sound, a tight driving model, varied tracks and locations and a wide range of cars which handle very differently.

    The only issues i dislike is that, races start too quickly without any leaderboard info,etc. Doesnt always show your best times when in a race, only in a time trial. AI can be too aggressive sometimes. Some graphics are not as good as the pre-release videos, alpha on trees,pylons,etc are low res and have a halo around them. Damage is just a decorative effect that doesnt effect the car performance.
    If they can tweak these problems, and sort the online challenges,etc out then this will be one of the best driving games ever.    … Expand

    Driveclub is a beautiful racing simulator that values the art and science of the race over the drama and theatrics that often make racing so appealing. While the game lacks in certain areas, namely in their complete lack of real collision dynamics, the overall racing experience is one of sublime enjoyment.

    The game is spectacular, a pleasure for true gamers. After the update then I became more beautiful still. The races in the rain makes it look real.
    Has many who complain about the launch of mistakes, but this game deserves a second chance to those who only played at launch, after the updates, he turned another game.

    The game is fun, it works flawlessly, and if you also get the season pass, has an absurd amount of content.

    The gameplay has a Project Gotham like points system and it's addictive, the graphics are stunning, and the cars are rendered to a near obsessive degree. All of the 100+ cars and Motorcycles (yes Superbikes were added) feel incredibly lifelike and distinctly different.

    The weather fx are the best i have ever seen in a videogame and they alter the gameplay immensely. From thunder and lightning rain storms, to blizzard like conditions with zero visibility Driveclub has every type of weather you could ask for.

    The season pass is a steal with the ridiculous amount of content and the sheer number of freebies you get with the base game is astounding. The Driveclub BIKES expansion released yesterday (Tue. October 27, 2015) and it's truly AWESOME. The BIKES expansion includes a who's who of superbike manufacturers like Kawasaki, Ducati, Yamaha, BMW, Honda, Dark Horse ect.

    The graphics, gameplay,club aspect, and incredible amount of support have made Driveclub the premier racer on the market today. The BIKES expansion just adds that much more life (and fun!) to an already lively game. A 10/10.    … Expand

    My favorite racing game ever was NFS HP2 for PS3. While that was very arcade like, I loved the sense of speed and racing it gave. With that in mind, lets jump into this review.

While that was very arcade like, I loved the sense of speed and racing it gave. With that in mind, lets jump into this review.

    Driveclub is that exceptional balance between Arcade and Sim racer; while the physics and controls may not be true to life as some hardcore SIM racers, it is definitely NOT an arcade racer, and they did an incredible job with the physics. You can't just drift mindlessly through turns or correct oversteer in a second. You will spin out trying to floor that SRT Viper out of a tight corner, going 150+ down straightaways on an uneven road environment, not a racetrack, will take some finesse to maintain stability, and your drifts lose momentum very quickly instead of rocketing you at 10000mph through turns. There is definitely a difference in the physics between different cars. And while some are more obvious than others (the F Type R is definitely more tail happy in this game than an AMG GTS, and both are less stable compared to the AWD Huracan), you need to realize that most 500+hp rear wheel drive cars have similar physics when being pushed to the limit, as due most FWD hot hatches, and most AWD supercars. But I will say there is a detectable difference in the feel and physics throughout the cars in this game. And if you're in a race where the weather is dynamic be prepared; you may start out hugging the road in dry conditions only to be sliding around carelessly as rain and snow begin to fall a lap or two later.

    The car selection is spectacular. Yea many cars can now be found in added DLCs, especially the American cars everyone was so desperate for (myself included), like the stingray, Viper, Camaro, Charger; yea those can now be had with a DLC, suck it up, you can find this game cheap anyway so it was worth it for me. I've added that, the lambo pack, and some others b/c I want my McLaren 650s and Jag CX75 concept. But the car selection is phenomenal even without the DLC's, and some cars and packs are free to download. I was worried about a lack of recent cars since it was released last year buuuuut not the case. Lambo Huracan, McLaren 650s, AMG GTS, and some amazing hyper cars like the Lykan Hypersport, Koenigsegg One:One, and the La Ferrari, JUST TO NAME A FEW. The car selection is phenomenal. Customization goes as far as paint and livery which is pretty extensive, don't care for all the modding and crap in a game like this. How do you throw a bigger wing on the One:One anyhow?

    The graphics, sound, and level of detail in the cars and environments is mother effing mindblowing. The cockpit views are incredible. I typically go with 3rd person views in racers b/c I like to admire the cars beauty as I race, but I find myself trying to master the narrowed vision from the cockpit views or just driving casually in Time Trial modes to enjoy the fanatical level of detail and move the camera around in the cockpit. Even the driver oriented details like flipping the paddle shifters (the hand begins to float in preparation for a shift as the tach climbs, and the feet actively move to hit the gas and brake pedals). Seriously, the detail blew me away. I love getting a sense of what it feels like to be in the cabin of some of these exotics, and this game delivers and delivers and delivers. And while there may not be an extensive list of real world racetracks, there is a beautiful selection of real world locations and tracks which offers an enormous variety of racing conditions, from insane mountain passes to flat out straightaway race tracks.

    There's also an extensive single player mode in the form of the Driveclub Tour which is littered with progressive events and subevents for you to progress and increase your level, earning new cars and livery in the process. It offers a lot of fun and challenges. You've also got your quick race, time trial, and drift events you can just jump right into with a car (that you've unlocked) and track of your choice. The menu is beautifully done and easy to navigate, and they've added to the settings to allow you to tweak the smallest things like having a visible tach for the cockpit view to increasing the volume of engine noise vs. environmental sound during races. Turn engine sounds to +3db and get goosebumps from the sound of these machines. Like the interior car views but prefer the exterior engine and car sounds? Settings allow for that as well. Replays can be saved and photo mode is a thing.

    This game was definitely released in a hurry before it was complete and polished, but the fact that it's all been ironed out should allow this game the credit and reviews it deserves. It is a fantastic racer for absolutely anyone. Don't whine about how you were expecting Grand Turismo. You want to race a Daihatsu around Silverstone at 15mph? You do that. I prefer to fly in a Huayra through the treacherous North Sea hugging highways of Norway with some stormy weather and rain.    … Expand

They appear randomly so even if you can't finnish first, you can beat someone so your race is not useless.

    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]
