But fantastic racing game is not for everyone!

So One thing first: I can understand the negative recessions here in no way understand.
The operation with the joypad is absolutely fine.
I needed no braking or steering assistance. What for? The Padsteuerung is extremely precise. If you do not cope with it, it is not because of the game but on the player.
However, I can understand that expectations are possibly disappointed.
I'll try to draw a clear picture so that it does not come to a missing purchase.

If you like games like NFS, asphalt or DRIVE CLUB is here at the wrong address.
This game sees its audience closer to players of GRID, NFS: SHIFT, Gran Turismo or Forza.

As in this last-mentioned games is also not 100% as one of the other.
I myself see Gran Turismo indeed as great game, but it is me in my eyes a bit too stiff. (Japanese ibid.)
Forza is against it rather the precious porn for PS fans. Great looks, class vehicles and a little looser control than GT so you sometimes like TopGear may drift.
Project Cars connects but for me both. The simulation claim of GT and a little less dry of Forza. Do not misunderstand. It is by far the simulation-heavy than Forza. But the feedback and the "feel" of "PC" is more like Forza than GT.

I myself had the worry me the game is not to say but after the third bend in Dubai spread to a huge grin on my face from. "It feels right!" went through my head since.

I have read here that always break out the vehicles. In Gran Turismo, I had the extremes PS monster Control this far more problems.

The graphics on the PS4 is absolutely top. Another stick is not equal inferior graphics. NFS is how it is a chunk of effect you can not see the track. Forza can this better, Drive Club of that but that does not change the appearance of the game to send.

But of course there are things about which you should be clear.
There is NOTHING free playable. Everything is from the outset available. This pushes some to sour. I do not mind but I understand the criticism.
While there is a career but this has no story.
A calendar with racing events in the racing class chosen. And here and there may loosen an invitation to others to the matter.
More is not.
If that's not enough has access to NFS.

+ Tollle optics
+ Awesome Sound
+ Great control (for experts)
+ Beautiful weather effects
+ Dynamic day / night / weather changes
+ Extremely many setting tehre

-Magerer Career Mode
-Schlechte Control (for arcade fans).
-Unübersichtlichkeit Menu

I give this game 5 stars because I do not, however, interfere with the minuses and loving I'm interested in the game only on the track. And since it's just great.
