Mine is downloading from the US store now. Looking forward to trying it.
Hey thanks sounds greatOKOK -
Apart from a bit of noticeable aliasing, game looks incredible, especially at night. Gameplay is brilliant, even at 30fps the controls are very responsive and there's a great sense of speed.
The menu's are great, very simple quick and easy to navigate, and the soundtrack is superb. I only had a quick go online as the servers keep disconnecting, and in the first race I avoided the huge collision at the first corner and continued to win the race with ease![]()
From what I seen online - there are tons of events that you sign up for that start every 30 seconds involving different cars/tracks/etc, but if you haven't unlocked the car that's specified for the race you 'loan' it, which means you don't earn any fame (xp) for the race.
You unlock cars by gaining fame, and it goes towards your driver level. Max driver level is 50, which is when the last car is unlocked. Some cars are unlocked by reaching a specific club level, so I'd say it's pretty mandatory to join a club.
Slightly annoying thing is your club doesn't become 'active' until you have at least 2 members in it, so at the minute I'm unable to gain any club XP.
The single player consists of different events such as normal races, time trials, drift events and tournaments. In each race there are mini challenges to do which earn you stars, which go towards unlocking more events. The challenges are things like beat the lap in a certain time, average speed check through a specific part of the track, top 3 finish, completing a corner challenge (sticking to the racing line through a corner. note - racing line only shows up during corner challenge, it's not on by default and there is no setting to turn it permanently on during gameplay.)
RIGHT - typed far too much - only have until 10:30 to play before work so I'll post more impressions later![]()
