Terrible gameplay and completely buggy

After I now times the gamepad've thrown through the area 2, I'm going to write my first review. Normally I would have a smoke and then I'm feeling better, but this time I'm still mad about the sacked money. Well first things first:

Graphics: The graphics is so highly praised, I can confirm only partially. My little in the tooths computer (iMac i7 2,93Ghz, HD5750 1GB, 12GB RAM), it is not playable on the highest setting. I can not directly blame the game now, but look at other recent games on my system better. What really bothers me is the nasty contrast, constantly flying leaves around or there is rain. Sometimes is nothing more to see out of sheer effect thunderstorm. The saw in "Hot Pursuit" and "The Run" a lot better and was not nearly as disturbing. Furthermore, one can observe magnificent graphics error. Times the background is missing, then you will hang on invisible walls, suddenly falls from the sky, traffic spawn suddenly and so on before you. Annoying and overlays are in the middle of the field of view that anyone his Nitro has charged to 40%. In the middle of the horizon line derlerlei unimportant information do not belong, because you no longer see the road or the track.

Sound: The engine sounds are quite nice, the music is at first drawer. Is a matter of taste, but although I like quite electric, my ears bled with such dull Techno. No comparison to the varied and star-studded soundtrack of "The Run". So you better make up before the music! the race starts. Because here the next questionable decision comes in ...

Gameplay: Who came because the moronic idea of ​​abolishing the break. Take time make music, go times the phone, everything not in it. This game makes itself important. Will you not, that you lose all your money, you have to go to the next hiding place first. Online connectivity well and good, but that it is so horrible, I would not have thought. What has brought quite a lot of fun in "Most Wanted" or "TDU" Here is just an added frustration factor. Already at the start line you will be crashed schrottreif, during the race come any other people counter, etc. Would not be bad, you would not lose everything in a total failure. And then this constant disconnections ... would also be bearable, you would not wake up in hiding and lose all his money erspieltes. I should have. Three times by without such bugs

The rest: Unfortunately, you can not skip the tutorial, since it also only robs life, and yes, there is probably something like a story. The usual outrageous nonsense, but not bad, yes I want to race. Still, I look forward to the day when time allows someone something decent dip at this point. I can not say anything about the 30fps, the lack of steering connection and the lack of cockpit view. I do not mind, but possibly others. I find, however, a racing game should not include such restrictions. The game system and the level design was largely copied from "Hot Pursuit" and brings no new features.

Bottom line: I always thought that when it comes to auto racing can be, but here you just have to just get lucky: that no one rings the doorbell, online players you miss that the connection does not break or that you can not go is blind. I can only advise, this "game" to do at. Without multiplayer rehash this is a nice pastime in between, but no longer.

Addendum: I have again given a chance to play and issued the multiplayer, because he did not believe me anyway. Lo and behold, it runs smoother, you can still screw a little at the graphics and the crashes and graphical glitches are limited (suddenly even my times significantly better). The now still the pause does not work, is not to take place for me. I have it now once played, but the long-term motivation is rather limited. Eventually every race with the Agera no longer a problem, you drive any race, trying not to be destroyed, just his money home and so I have a feeling that the game is frustrating at the beginning and at the end to light, there is no real adaptation to the progressive skills instead, which is also not really a flow may adjust. The game mechanics can not just to captivate me. Good thing - more time for meaningful work ...
