Driveclub Reviews
Hidden somewhere within DriveClub is a very good racing game. A game with online hooks that dig in to every element of the experience, whether you're taking on friends and rivals directly or through the challenges dotted around the game. Sadly, the most crucial part of the game simply doesn't work right now, and in spite of its extra 11 months, feels horribly unfinished in places. Things like dynamic weather should be in the game at launch, particularly as that's what was showcased so much at the likes of E3 and EGX. Whilst everyone should appreciate that things happen that will derail some plans a little bit, the fact that DriveClub is still as broken as it is this far down the line, in spite of the additional year that was given to it is inexcusable. Hopefully, in 6 months time, when everything is fixed and all of the content patches are out, it will be a game worth picking up. Until that day arrives, it's very, very difficult to recommend DriveClub as anything more than an astonishingly pretty, but ultimately nothing more than competent single-player racing game.
If you want a game to show off the prowess of the PS4, then Driveclub is by all means a top tier candidate for your cash, but if you're looking for a good racing game that'll keep you hooked for hours on end then Driveclub is miles off the mark.
The entire time I spent playing Driveclub was time I wish I spent elsewhere.
'Driveclub' features all the thrills of high-speed octane driving one can have without having to fear a speeding ticket, however, this isn't a driving simulator of the 'Gran Tursimo' variety. Graphically amazing and technically flawless, 'Driveclub' has more pros than cons. The one real caveat is that it's still just a racing game that isn't particularly fun or hilarious. For those kicks, I heartily suggest 'Mario Kart 8'. 'Driveclub,' meanwhile, is part of the new social racer genre, but its gameplay left me cold. Recommended for racing aficionados, worth a look for everyone else.
در نهایت Driveclub عنوانی جاه طلب با مجموعه ای از عناصری است که همگی در کنار هم با هدف ایجاد یک تحول بزرگ بوجود آمده اند اما این عناصر بدلیل عدم شکل گیری هویت و چارچوبی منحصربفرد نتوانسته اند در کنار هم مجموعه ای قوی را ایجاد کنند و این موضوع باعث شده است که تجربه کلی گیم پلی پس از مدتی حالت منفعل ، تکراری و نه چندان جذاب را به خود گیرد . نکته ناُمیدکننده بازی در نهایت به هدف اصلی آن یعنی ساختمان و چارچوب ایده باشگاه ها بر می گردد که فرسنگ ها از آن چیزی که انتظار می رفت ساده تر و پیش پا آفتاده تر طراحی شده است.Driveclub قرار بود ویژگی های انقلابی را در بخش چند نفره و آنلاین داشته باشد اما با تجربه آن متوجه می شویم این بازی از آن رویاها و اهداف اولیه خود ضعیفتر عمل کرده است . در پایان با تجربه کلی بازی یک سوال نهایی در ذهن بوجود می آید و آن هم اینکه در همایش معرفی Driveclub گفته شد که استودیو Evolution بیش از 9 سال در آرزوی سخت افزاری بود که بتواند ویژگی های تعاملی و اجتماعی Driveclub را پوشش دهد اما با با تجربه بازی این سوال مطرح می شود که براستی این بازی شامل چه ویژگی انقلابی در بخش آنلاین و شبکه اجتماعی بود که کنسول نسل هفتمی PS3 توانایی ارائه آن را نداشت ؟

If everything was working, DRIVECLUB would easily get an 8/10 as a game that doesn't raise the bar, but is more than competent and very enjoyable, but in it's current state, where the experience you get is based on something you draw out of a hat, then it is a bit of a let down and that is after giving it nearly a month before trying to write this review.
The penalties for my aggressive style of racing seem like they would take all of the fun out of Driveclub for me, given that's usually the only way I can win in this genre, but that is not the case. I enjoy Driveclub a great deal and am looking forward to future updates and getting back online to race against other players. I enjoy the different tracks, beautiful locations and slick-looking cars, and unlocking new rides is always a rush and the thrill of victory is addictive and rewarding.
Driveclub isn't exactly a triumph but it's a polished, very entertaining game that delivers an adrenaline-filled good time. The fun factor remains high throughout, the amazing detail - in both the background and the cars themselves - is a definite accomplishment of note, and the social features are extremely attractive. The solo content doesn't quite cut it, though, and the AI is occasionally too aggressive.
DriveClub is a great racing experience which includes enough content, both single-player and social, to keep fans of the genre occupied for months, especially if they are determined to always be better than their friends.
The fact that DriveClub is still mostly a wreck for ALL of its online functions is frankly embarrassing and the lack of a large public beta was remarkably short-sighted. Once you've wrangled the handling model, there's a solid driving game underneath it all with fun tracks to tear down at terrifying speeds as you zoom through the incredibly detailed environments. But if the netcode isn't fixed soon, this'll be an abandoned rusty roadside wreck by Christmas.
Ultimately, Driveclub is a solid enough racing game, albeit one that's beset by some significant limitations. Casual fans of the genre are likely to have an enjoyable enough time but if you're looking for a title to plough hundreds of hours into, this isn't it.
The debut PlayStation 4 racing title from Evolution Studios barely crosses the finish line. There are decent ideas here, but shortcomings in many areas keep Driveclub well back of a podium finish.
DriveClub is a beautiful disappointment. Beautiful because of the tracks and locations, and a disappointment for pretty much everything else. It's not worth the retail fee, and if you're a Playstation Plus member you will eventually be able to download it for free, but of course it will be missing a few features that are included in the full paid version. My advice would be just to wait for the free version if you're desperate for a racing sim on the PS4. It's not an awful game but feel free to skip this one as you're not missing much.
It won't blow your socks off mechanically, but people looking to just pick a car and drive in an exotic location without any complications will find fun here, it's just a huge shame that Driveclub could have done with more work before being released in its the current state.
Reagan sums it up best: "Driveclub, despite it's 12 month delay, feels like it has still managed to release too early."
So, at the end of the day, #DRIVECLUB is a technically proficient racer with a social side that can be fun. But overall it lacks some things that make racing games great, especially ones that insist on arcade style progression. Hardcore racing fans will be pleased by the bevy of cars available and may enjoy creating a club with their friends, but players like me won't be converted due to the lack of customization and/or arcade style gameplay. Despite all its flaws, #DRIVECLUB still manages to deliver a solid racing experience on the PS4, it just wasn't the one I was looking for.
Too casual for the hardcore, too hard for the casual. Driveclub might have a hard time finding its right audience, but its undeniably a gorgeous racer with expertly integrated social options.
Whether you should take the plunge on DriveClub right now depends on how hard up you are for a serious racing option on PS4.
It speaks to the strength of the challenge and club systems that DriveClub remains wholly enjoyable despite such an omission. A few less serious forms of racing would do a lot to improve to the experience and catapult it into the same realm as the greatest of arcade racers, but what's on offer represents a commendable attempt at changing the way we think about how competition is served in a racing game.
