This game appeals to both hardcore and novice drivers, but its limited Time Attack focus isn't for everyone
Dirt Rally isn't deep in every area, but the gameplay alone makes this my favorite rally game
Not only is this a playable homage to the legend's career, it's also a decent rally game
WRC 5 does little to distinguish itself either in the driving department or with its features

Even if the gameplay was everything it could be, this title still has its challenges
The evolved gameplay keeps you coming back more than any specific new feature
If you like soccer, football, or whatever you want to call it, you need to get this game

New tracks and cars give you plenty to play with, but the re-styled career mode still doesn't provide sufficient motivation

It's a title that's fun to drive, but offers little to support it
Rory has solid gameplay and covers the basic feature bases, but it doesn't distinguish itself

Delivers scares with style even if it doesn't satisfy in all areas
I am nominally interested in all of The Crew's parts, but none of them hold my attention
The game is definitely better than last year and puts the series in good standing, but it's not a monument for the genre itself
DriveClub doesn't revolutionize online play, but offers solid driving and just enough features to keep it engaging
This sequel is a good showing for the series on the new system, but it won't blow your doors off
