Driveclub certainly has many technical and design issues that may not make it worth a full purchase. However, its core gameplay is agreed to be quite good so it may be worth grabbing for a reduced price

Critic Reviews for Driveclub
What we're left with is a flimsy framework - a sort of clothes horse for content - rather than a truly great racing game. DriveClub is patently intended to attract a global, interconnected audience of fiercely competitive racers but, to quote the increasingly obscure 1989 Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams: if you build it, they will come. And, unfortunately, Evolution hasn't quite built it.
DriveClub is easily accessibly and highly recommendable, even for no other reason than the simple fact that it's the only new racer available on PS4 this year. It's slickly designed and just plain fun to play. There's room for improvement on the car selection, progression and customization, but what's there is a fun racer with some interesting social options that dedicated racers can take advantage of.
Fast, beautiful, and accessible, but a more modest, conventional arcade racer than its sprawling, open-world peers.
Many small tweaks, amazing weather and phenomenal photo mode have turned Driveclub into PS4's best racer. At times breathtaking and always involving, it'll keep you coming back for more.
DriveClub doesn't revolutionize online play, but offers solid driving and just enough features to keep it engaging
DriveClub isn't a huge leap forward but has smart ideas in its multiplayer
Driveclub is a solid, basic racing game with lots of tracks, lots of cars, and very little in the way of personality.
Driveclub looks nice and has a couple of good ideas about handling leaderboard challenges, but the core of it--actually driving a car--drags the entire thing down.
