As the game was unfinished at release, you can tell by the size of the update file: This is almost 8 GB !!! (End of 03/2015) So you should have a reasonably fast Internet connection ...
After installation of Game Update + I was very curious to see how the racer is now proposing. To make it very briefly: ME's Drive Club is currently the best racing game for the PS4.
The graphics are great, here you realize to what the PS4 is capable. Control and driving experience are nearly perfect and form a very good mix of simulation and arcade racing. The (rubber band) AI is challenging but connections quite fair vs... The view expressed in early reviews criticism for AI have not been confirmed in the latest version of the game, fortunately. The stability of the server is very good, while my previously estimated 10-15 hours of playing time there were only 2-3 times briefly connectivity problems, but they were usually resolved within a few minutes.
Pros and cons at a glance:
+ Basically, very good graphics (rarely occurs some edge flares on)
+ In particular, weather effects look fantastic
+ Control and driving experience are a perfect blend of simulation and arcade racer
+ Relatively small, but in my opinion very good vehicle choice (only the Porsche lacks shame; there are only vehicles of RUF!)
+ Motivating, integrated in the individual race challenges
+ Very good and simple menu navigation
+ Very good, absolutely realistic elaborated cockpit view
+ Good music (Caution: By default, the music, you must first activate the menu this!)
- No tuning options (you can only pre-paint / designs adapt some)
- But damage model in place, does not affect the driving behavior
- No split-screen, you can just go online to buddies
- Music is good, but overall not very varied or too little choice; also you can not skip titles
The nitty gritty bothers me most is the lack of tuning option. In such a game, this should be included in any case. Despite this and the other negative points the game for me of me deserves 4 stars because of the many positive are some key and presents the currently best racing game on the PS4. Therefore, a strong buy recommendation.
