The main feature of DriveClub is the online club you can create. It’s a nice little inclusion into each race but it isn’t earth shattering. If you can navigate around a corner better, or faster, you’ll attain a higher score and knock them off their perch. As you speed down a particular track you’ll get a statistic pop up of a fellow DriveClub player and their score at a certain section of the course. All that is fair enough but it does become annoying when the AI itself is completely erratic and cuts in front of you, or just plainly crashes into you, but you are the one who gets penalised. For example, the game will slow you down for cutting a section of the track, or dock points for hitting another vehicle. As you get accustom to each class you’ll undoubtedly crash a few times and while that isn’t necessarily something to pick at, the inclusion of a reset button would have been a good idea and saved me from having to keep re-starting a race if I had made a mistake. Thankfully each car does seem to have its own distinct feel when you drive them although the driving mechanics are by no means ground-breaking. Performance, Super, Hot Hatch, Sports and Hyper. There are different classes of vehicles to use in DriveClub. I didn’t get much feeling of excitement throughout playing DriveClub, it seemed to just be as if I was playing a game to pass the time, or experiencing a demo of a racing game that is still unfinished. Not only are they brief feelings of gratification they are very similar, if not less inspiring than most of the top driving sims you may have already experienced in the past. Of course this does give you a slight feeling of satisfaction as you finally get the chance to thrash around in a brand spanking new Ferrari, but these thrills are short lived. As you complete races and tours you’ll start to unlock new cars to race with.
You can change the colour of your car for an upcoming race if you wish but there seems to be a distinct lack of connection between the player and each vehicle you can use. There are no Need for Speed like customisations to be found in DriveClub. After you’ve experienced the initial visual joy of what you are seeing on screen, you begin to realise that the game seems quite limited and dull. DriveClub matches, if not betters both Forza and Gran Turismo graphically, but unfortunately that is the only area DriveClub surpasses either of them.ĭriveClub is littered with problems. It is a necessity, and anything less than a visual masterpiece should be unacceptable. Now, with the undoubted power of the current generation of consoles it would be expected that DriveClub should look great on the PS4.
Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox One is also a visually impressive racing sim, as was Gran Turismo 6 for the Playstation 3. When it comes to presentation, the bar has been set relatively high for racing games and DriveClub excels at delivering a sleek visual treat for the eyes. The lighting is superb as are the general atmospherics, and the cars themselves look great. As you tear into each straight, or drift around each corner, it is hard to remain focused on the actual race as you take in the outstanding scenery of each location. Tracks that spread throughout Chile, Canada, Scotland, Norway and India are beautifully designed. Sadly it doesn’t take very long to realise as you play DriveClub that although it looks shiny and polished on the outside, there are still big problems underneath the hood.ĭriveClub’s presentation is by far the best feature of the game.

One of the main draws of DriveClub – the free to play Playstation Plus version – is currently still unfinished, but that hasn’t deterred Sony, and Evolution Studios, releasing what they believe to be a worthy racing title for retail.
