    I will start by saying, I'm a huge fan of the Tour De France, i make it a habit to watch every year. I was a avid PC gamer up until a year ago, when I was tired of upgrading my PC every time I wanted to play the Next Gen games coming out. I purchased Pro Cycling Manager on PC more many years and always enjoyed the game, challenge, and uniqueness the game brought to the sporting genre.I will start by saying, I'm a huge fan of the Tour De France, i make it a habit to watch every year. I was a avid PC gamer up until a year ago, when I was tired of upgrading my PC every time I wanted to play the Next Gen games coming out.

    So naturally when I made the leap to Xbox One, Tour De France 2015 was for sure a purchase i was going to make. I was pleasantly disappointed if that make any sense.

    First, graphics in my opinion were not something I focused my time on reviewing, with time and experience on console that will come. What took me back the most was, when the graphics are not the greatest on games, usually, the developer increases the amount of content to the game. This is not the case with Tour De France 2015.

    As I'm a huge story/career nut when it comes to games, I was looking for that option to start as a young rider and develop and grow to the top of the cycling world. With the option for only 3 cycling events and pre-generated cardboard cutouts of riders. There was no feel to individuality to the Pro team Mode.

    I find myself still playing it as I do like to finish at the top of whatever career mode is thrown my way, but i can see it will be a short lived.

    I'm not sure why the developers were not able to mask the PC version of Pro Cycling Manager? I'm hoping that content may be added in a DLC, maybe???

    As it is the first year on Xbox one, I'm hoping this is a stepping stone to a great game in the future.

    If this review does make it across any on the development team, as a cycling fan myself, more content please, if nothing else.    … Expand

    Represents its sport well, but it's just too mundane to ever be something of note. One for the fans and very few others. [Issue#127, p.83]

    Your presence doesn't seem to matter. [Sept 2015, p.111]

    There are some strong moments. But they are definitely not found within the visuals. Unfortunately Cyanide doesn’t manage to walk the tightrope between simulation with its energy management the team orders and the tactical components and pure arcade cycling without mechanical failures or even crashes.
