If that's the new benchmark, then good night

Yesterday I really looking forward to the game and the postmistress now an eagerly anticipated by the Amazon delivery. The first disappointment was ever present when the server did not work and the core function of the game therefore is not ready for release.

Multiplayer mode:

Not assessable as unavailable. Both yesterday rather than today. Where the multiplayer mode can be as good not at all to make my vote with more than 2 stars.

Single player mode - 0 out of 5 stars:

So I looked at the single player mode and have a few raced. Here the next disillusionment. The AI ​​is not designated as such and really rotten. From dynamic (through a racing game in my eyes living) no trace - more than a stubborn shutting down the ideal line is not expected by the AI; without regard to losses. When do you get a single player into the game, but then please clever. So they should leave him dear.

Graphic - 3 out of 5 stars:

The graphics are quite nice, but nothing more. In my eyes, the graphics are not even more than a blender and by far not as good as expected. The landscapes are very nicely decorated, but partly rather artificial Seeming. The time-lapse function acts to overload and gives me the impression that weather and lighting effects is attempted here to cramp bring into play. With realism that has to do very little. The weather and lighting effects are really good for it but to look and especially the driveway in dark tunnels, I find the effect very well done and very realistic. In the press this game has often been touted as the new reference. If so, then I find it very unfortunate that I have sold my PS3 over the weekend where I had much better games (Gran Turismo 5, Need for Speed ​​Shift).

Driveability - 2 out of 5 stars:

The driveability of vehicles is too uniform. And although I do not expect simulation as Gran Turismo here, so a little more variety would still be there. Subjectively perceived all drive the same and apart from the final speeds, you notice no difference what kind of car you drive.

Sound - 4 out of 5 stars:

The engine sounds I find really successful but a trigger there because of the otherwise very bad musical accompaniment.

Story - 0 out of 5 stars:

What is one to write about the story, if one does not exist? For me any motivation suffers and I now have the single player mode to Driver Level 15 (approximately 1/3 of the mode) played and already printed more and not feel just the return label on Amazon.

Conclusion: I wonder what the developers have done in the 1 year, that the game was delayed. I find it sad that the game not even comes close to Need For Speed ​​Shift, which already has under his belt a few years. I very much hope that this is a successful racing game comes in the next few months on the PS4.
