Routes and Events:
They say often about this game is that it "only" has 9 tracks, which I think is total crap, because it is at nine locations distributed throughout the world.
So there are in Morocco, for example, 1 Trailblazer, 2 rally and then longer distances.
Unfortunately, one must say that there is not a route for any event at any venue to yet. So there are in London and Japan no Rally or Trailblazer routes.
There is in my opinion a bit too few of the two above mentioned events, however, which I may deduct no star, I knew this even before you buy and had engestellt forward.
The other events as Landrush, where all drivers are driving at the same time on a round course I find really OK and also well done, come to me personally but to often before.
Then there's the X Games, which are a sort of knockout tournament from different races in which each of eight riders in each race (the way are always eight in other events except duels) the top four advance to the next round.
Cars and money:
Yes, the cars in this game, in my opinion, very good. They are divided into different classes, which can be used depending on the event, which means that at every event has a choice of about 10 cars and the car must also be upgraded for money gradually. So you need if you want to go later in the pro class for each car upgrade that with $ 40,000 also suggests good impact.
From the beginning, all cars can be purchased from about $ 120000-200000.
There is also no MEGA-carriage which is superior to all others, but it depends on the drivers themselves, which car suits him.
So you should see if you needed faster acceleration because you offend more times or better handling because the route is very winding.
Another gadget is the individual adjustment of the car for example the gearbox, which can again provide better top speed or faster acceleration.
And for money. One gets his coal, the higher the difficulty, the more money for each race. Of course in the professional class more money like in the rookie class.
One gets then pro professional race about $ 50,000 which is indeed sound a lot, but when you consider that you can spend a total of $ 400,000 per car and almost makes a total of about 40 cars, then you realize that something more needs to plow.
Graphics:
So in my opinion also very good, because the all-inclusive package is right.
If I, for example, in the mountains of Croatia drive my rally stage, while in front of my 46 "TV sitting, then I feel almost as if I'd be right in the middle.
Yes, of course, room for improvement, because it's a game so, what worde not developed exclusively for PS3, but I find the car, landscape and public good match and are graphically really well done.
Two caveats there yet: 1. The animation of the audience: So are a few places, such as at the start of the TrailBlazer race in Morocco (which is also available in the demo) to a simultaneous image, which means that it is "only "5 different movements are.
The second point is the routes in London. Here are all the races at night, which causes me to an urban flair that made me very reminiscent of games like NFS, which just does not fit the overall concept of the game, but still OK.
Physics:
This game is not a simulation, that's obvious, but it's also not Acarde game such as the NFS series.
You have to play for a perfect race with the gas and the brake.
The behavior on tar, mud, dirt and gravel is well executed and you have to find the right driving style for any surface.
Although the damage model looks visually good and fits well to the crash that you do, but if me standing at the edge that I have a serious engine failure, so I realize this is, unfortunately, hardly.
Sound and Music:
At the sound, there is nothing to complain about. The engines sound just as good and the audience on the edge Cheers realistic.
And if you go through a puddle or jump over a crest and comes up again, so this can also clearly hear as Aben that.
Although the soundtrack is deposited the game is also not my taste, but it also makes me happy and fit just perfect.
Multiplayer:
No splitscreen! Very bad, but I knew this before buying, I can not complain.
The online multiplayer is but well done and error free, as far as I can judge.
One can just go race by race, or participate in tournaments which have a sort of world rankings result with the other players.
Other:
Audio names: Wonderful idea, which is also well implemented. So you will be approached by the other racers in his own name, giving the whole a little bit more this MITTENDRIN FEELING there.
Friendship: Yes, the other racers complete with a friends, if you do not just jostles every race or cutting off their path.
These are important if you want to drive team events.
Menu: controversial but brilliant. You have a kind of 3D menu in the Touring Caravans, which at the beginning seems somehow annoying, but for me out of this game is simply impossible to imagine. Furthermore, this menu again ensures the gain of the thick-feeling.
The other racers call you after a race also short and praise you for the last race, or speak to you courage for next to.
Rewind: Depending on the difficulty you have the possibility in case of accidents or bad maneuvers to zurückzuspuhlen 5 times and stretch to try again, which is a very nice help.
Level: The Level System goes from 1-30. Your on a Level new paint for your car freely, or special gadgets like Plüschwürfel, which you can hang on your transom.
Matürlich and that's much more important on their new free events.
Duels: You will from time to time by other drivers challenged against them in the head to head duel to compete. This race will bring you advantages in a friendship.
Conclusion: A game in which agrees with the overall concept and the platinum version the value for money and good tickets now.
I lack only the split screen mode and it could even more rally stages and Trailblazer events exist.
For my part, buy rating with 4 1/2 stars, which are deservedly rounded up to 5.
