If you never played it, our review that despite its flaws, it’s a pretty good racer, saying “If you can look past the inconsistencies, DriveClub is a great racer. In fact, they may make it better than its contemporaries; not knowing the track, what the car will do or how the AI will respond means you have to race by instinct, to constantly push the limits. And honestly, the adrenaline rush this gives is simply wonderful.”
