    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.

    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.

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.

    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

You don't have the freedom to switch your traction off or to switch your stability control off, and I will get to that in a second. Some hot lap events will ask for a bit too much out of you in terms of lap times, and the same thing goes for the drifting events, which I will also get to in a second as well. Simply touching the wall will nearly completely drain your speed. I like to call it "velcro." The drifting -- though I'm pretty decent at it -- is beyond awful. In regards to the assists mentioned earlier, how is Evolution Studios going to have drift events with drift mechanics more broken than a shattered iPhone, not to mention that the stability and traction controls are locked on? Come on. Anyhow, the assists are just nitpicks, though do make life a bit more difficult during drift events. The game, again, is fun and addicting. I play it on a daily basis, and I love it. By the way, there are plenty of cars missing; you don't get the SRT Viper GTS, the Bugatti Veyron (neither the standard or Super Sport version), the Nissan GTR (or any Skyline at all), 370Z, the Ferrari LaFerrari, Enzo, F50, nor is there a single Lamborghini at all. At least there are brand-new cars like the McLaren P1, the Mercedes-AMG GTS, the Ferrari F12berlinetta, and a few others like the BMW M4 and the BMW M5 F10 update, but -- aside from some more cars -- that's about it. I personally enjoy it despite its flaws.… Expand

    Driveclub is a beautiful racer, the best I've played in years. Ive enjoyed every race I've completed, and will continue to enjoy them more. The server issues when the game first released did damage the experience, but only very slightly. The original single player tour was large enough to keep your mind from them. And now, problems solved, its a fantastic game.

    There is a good car selection, and the game offers additional challenges within the races adding to the immersion.

It most certainly is an arcade racer, however, prior to release we were led to believe it would be a simulator comparable to that for Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo or the recently released Project Cars and so many people felt cheated and disappointed with the end result. The game is stunning to look at, the choice of cars is adequate although there is a serious lack of American muscle cars and the online and club services work well enough at this stage. All in all it is worth a look at a discount if you're a fan of socially driven arcade racing games.… Expand

Season pass adds a lot (Cars, tracks, single player races) and is definitely worth the money unlike a lot of other season passes.

    Multiplayer runs okay, could be better but it's pretty much the same to a lot of other racing games.

    Cons: Lacking cars(Although they add a free car every month plus a bunch of DLC) lacking music, only 30 fps (Which surprisingly isn't horrible) Aliasing can be pretty in your face sometimes but it's not too bad, could do with some more race tracks though. AI can be pretty goofy. More paint and visual customisation would be nice.

    In the end, overall fun game just missing a few things.    … Expand

    The mere fact that this is the first racing game I've liked after Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (The latest one, of course) is surprising, even for me.
    The club system needs work though, there isn't incentive enough for players to actively participate in club activities. Give out new cars, or something like that as rewards.
    Content-rich updates and free DLCs could strengthen the game even more.

The amount of cars available is crazy, and although this game may not be to the car development fans likes, there are enough cars and varied performances to keep any racing fan interested.
    The online racing is fast and frantic, with different types of event for variety, and although any racing game will attract the hoonatic who likes to crash, some penalties for their actions tend to nullify their worst excesses. Saying this more balance to these penalties could be developed to make the ardent racers experience better and for them to feel less aggrieved when one of these hoonatics hits them into a corner and the less respectful racer comes off best. The club aspect is also a good feature allowing like minded friends to work together with a shared goal, not often seen in any game other than co-op shootem-ups. overall a good game which has developed well.    … Expand

Now, after several hours in the game, I can fullheartedly say that DriveClub now, after all those patches and DLCs, has become what it should have been at his release - the ultimative PS4 racing game so far.
    The graphics are simply put stunning, the weather effects and cars just look breathtakingly aweseome, so is the soundtrack and sound effects. The overall presentation is extremely stylish and polished, menus look very good and are well organised, very short loading times too.
    Controls are smooth but need some practise, very good sense of speed overall.
    For me, DriveClub is the predecessor of my beloved Project Gotham Racing Series - it plays and rewards exactly the same (no Kudos here though, but something quite same ^^).
    The only real downside and complaint I have is the difficulty - DriveClub is very very hard, sometimes unforgiving, the AI is mostly flawless and AI drivers stick together like glued (hello NeedForSpeed) - this leads to some frustration, although I heard a rumor that an "easy difficulty" might be added in soon.
    The variety of cars is good, so are the tracks, although there is a real lack of "city"-tracks.
    Cant say a thing about the multiplayer though, I dont play games online anymore, so my rating is just for the single player!
    All in all, at such a low price, theres hardly any better choice for PS4 racing fans - and DriveClub looks and plays so stunning that it also appeals to people that are not so into racing games. It belongs to the PS4 library!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We all know about the problems Driveclub had a launch I mean the game was slated by all the media but since its launch it a completely different racer. With the constant support from Evolution Studios it has evolved into what it was meant to be at launch a pure beast of an Simcade racer. Note that I said Simcade and not simulator or arcade because it's a fine balance of both. You can slide your car like in NFS or simply drive like a pro its your chose. First off Driveclub is visually the best racer you'll ever see, the rain drops on the windscreen to the heavy snow falling as you drive at over 200 mph in a La Ferrari is simple stunning. The dynamic weather makes racing exciting knowing that at any time a race can go from being sunny to a rain storm in minutes, it changes your perception of the track and how you drive your car. The night racing is fantastic and challenging, I found myself immersed in the challenge of keeping my car on the track.The car roster at the start of Driveclub was 50 cars but with the constant DLC support it has grown with manufacturers such as Lamborghini and Nissan being added as well as cars like the Viper and Corvette. Racing is fun, fast, and fluid, the quick challenges that are available while you race keep things fresh, challenges such as drifting around a corner to get the highest points or beating another opponents top speed through a specific sector make racing exciting. All the cars sound spectacular and look amazing inside and out from a Golf Gti to a Ferrari FXX I haven't seen a level of detail that has come close to Driveclubs. photo mode is also a fantastic feature with lots of options of how you would like to take your pictures with various tints and glares that make the cars and environments look photo realistic. Driveclub Bikes witch is a new expansion to the Driveclub universe is very good, it can be bought as an add-on or as a standalone download. There are a good selection of bikes from Honda to BMW to Kawasaki there is plenty to choose from, with more bikes and cars being added as free downloads each month. The bikes look stunning and the sense of speed you get when racing is unrivalled, it adds a whole new dimension to the game and makes the game even more fun. You can also customise the colours of your riders leathers so your rider looks unique.The career mode is challenging to, each event has a certain number of challenges you must complete in order to collect all of the stars and complete that event. There are more new events being added to Driveclub and at the moment there is plenty of racing to be done both on and offline. Online racing can be difficult with some racers preferring to ram others rather then race clean but thankfully you can set up a private room were you and your friends can race in peace, chose your own settings, what cars to race in, how many laps etc.Overall Driveclub is a fantastic game that's accessible to all yet challenging even to the best of racers and provides countless hours of replay-ability and fun. As of writing this review Driveclub is €12:99 for the full game and season pass combined. If you were on the fence about buying Driveclub I recommend you buy it without hesitation, it's a steal at that price for such a good game.… Expand

To play, I personally feel this is leaning very heavily towards arcade, the narrow roads on some tracks/routes offer an incredible sense of speed but do also lead to multiple collisions with other cars but at least this is not just restricted to the players as AI controlled vehicles can be equally aggressive with each other as well, so it never feels unfair.

    Driveclub is a PS4 launch game that tried to bring something new to the online racing genre but ended up being a huge disappointment.

    Driveclub was delayed for more than a year and its eventual launch was botched because servers didn't work and weather effects were missing. The developers brought servers back online, added the weather effects, and afterwards supported the game for a year with dozens of free and paid for DLCs. When everything calmed down though, what game did we finally have in our hands?

    Driveclub was meant to revolutionize the racing genre, by bringing people together in Clubs (think of clans or groups) who'd collectively race, progress and challenge other players and/or Clubs. A new social racing game for the online age. But the execution failed, because I never felt I had to be in a Club to progress. After winning 5 career tournaments (15-20 races total) I stopped playing because I wasn't having fun, unfortunately.

    The driving itself is a mix of simulation and arcade and is fine, but the races are played in walled environments. I know it's not an open world racer like Forza Horizon, but older Gran Turismo games had more freedom than that. When driving well you earn points for the Club, but if you crash with other cars or against the environment, or exit the main road, you lose points.

    The graphics are supposed to be Driveclub's main selling point, but they also hurt the game. I read reviewers raving about the "amazing graphics" but I wasn't in such an awe as other people for some reason. These graphics had the side-effect of forcing the developers to target 30 fps instead of 60. But what impressed me for sure were the weather effects like rain, fog and snow, as well as the day/night cycle. Yet again, these effects can completely obscure your vision (no matter what camera you are using) and make you crash the car.

    Driveclub is a game with many pros and cons, but I think it's a failed experiment.    … Expand

It is great game on the other hand but if you could do more on the game it would be greater. I enjoy playing this game online as you can compete with others and interact more. Drive club is a game which is great fun and exciting as you have to complete mission in order to unlock more cars this makes the game more challenging. A good thing about the game is that you can also connect the ps4 steering wheel and enjoy the game more.… Expand

    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

    Shutdown servers mean buying 1/4 of a game. Wish I could've seen what was here. No compelling reason to play. Very limited vehicle selection, no customization, small number of tracks. I only gave a 1 because it didn't pull a GT7 with microtransactions

    It's simply one of the most dissapointing Racing games i've ever played. Graphics are okay and i like the concept behind the game, but steering and drive control are simply horrible designed. That the servers are down and 90 percent of it's features are not longer avaiable is also a bad joke. Thanks god, this game never gets an sequel.

To date, Driveclub STILL sets the example for how Season Passes SHOULD be done, with one year's seasons pass adding over 10 new tours, multiple livery packs, and a whole host of new cars.

    Yet I feel compelled to drop the game BACK down to a 5 because, over the last few updates, whatever they've done to the AI and physics has made the game completely not fun. I played this game a LOT without problems but after the last two updates and tour pack additions the AI is now extremely aggressive to the point where they'll purposely ram you, knocking you from a top three finish to a bottom three finish - and YOU get penalized for the contact even though the AI initiated it. Front Wheel Drive supercars now have the same physics as a plane which is to say good luck navigating corners.

    Whatever they did with the last few patches has taken a game that had become very good and reverted it back into a mess. I'm so very disappointed. It still looks great and still sets the benchmark for how to do DLC but be prepared to be angry at a whole lot of physics and AI cheese.    … Expand

    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.

    After having played the ps plus edition of the game, the basic gameplay seems pretty lackluster to the point where the additional content of the full edition definitely does not seem worth the price. While the game looks pretty and works on a technical level (after months of getting the online patched), the cars are not fun to control and I personally feel that this game's take on simulation is not fun in the least bit. I found making simple turns to be absolutely frustrating and I found the online mechanics included with the ps plus edition to be pointless leaderboard esque challenges that I could care less about.

    The ps plus edition is pretty barebones and gives access to 2 basic cars at the start plus one car only available in a specific starter race. If you don't care enough about racing games to buy one, this might be your best bet at the moment of scratching that itch on a ps4 for free.

    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

    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

    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.
