Difficulty:

Just Right

Time Spent:

20 to 40 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

Physics accuracy, vehicle handling, the beautiful modelling of the vehicles and much improved AI of the computer racers contribute to an excellent racing experience.

This is pure racing, there's no career mode or other side features as its a Prologue release, just beautiful cars and a set of tracks to race them on.

The online mode works very well once you're connected, and racing against real people can be very exciting when they're not trying to grief the track.

An ability to block and report habitual griefers would be much appreciated.

Controls are very good, and customizable. Support for steering wheels is mostly focused on official Logitech supported devices. Force feedback is well-implemented as well.

Vehicle physics can be switched between pro and standard levels, where in standard the car won't let go as easily into a spin and behaves more as one would expect from a typical arcade racing game. In professional physics mode, the cars are extremely accurate and good racing ability is required to handle the more powerful cars without losing control.
