Review: TLDR: This is the most fun I've had playing a racing game. - First copy shipped from desertcart was an empty case, no disc. It wasn't shrink wrapped, no sticker, nothing. I suspect this one was a "display case" for people working in the warehouse and it got sent to me by accident, but it would be interesting to hear if this happened to anyone else. I contacted desertcart, and they shipped a replacement with free 1 day delivery, so in the end I was satisfied. Unlike Gran Turismo and many other racing games, there's no "grinding" to unlock cars or mods, which makes the single player career mode refreshingly fun right from the start. It features a number of racing disciplines, including karts, GT cars, touring cars, road cars, LMP prototypes, and a few open wheel variants similar to Formula 1, you can start your career where ever you like, however there are special achievements for starting at the beginning and working your way up. Online multiplayer is a blast if you race with the right people, but can be frustrating when lower skilled drivers bump and ram, but that can happen in any public online racing games. Online leaderboards/time trials are extremely poorly done, and in my opinion one of the biggest drawbacks of the game. Best lap times are grouped by car class, so you can really only race one or two cars in any given class if you want to be competitive... and that also means you only get one entry per class at each track. I can't set a fast lap in my favorite road car *AND* the fastest road car, so I have to pick which I'd rather have appear on the board. Car selection is not that large compared to Gran Turismo, however there is enough variety in most classes that it doesn't matter too much, and all cars are unique in their handling so you won't feel like you have 20 different models of the same thing in your garage. Some of the most popular car manufacturers are left out, particularly Japanese and Italian companies seem to have a very small representation. Vehicles can't be modded, but can be tuned... tweaking all sorts of settings including (just to name a few) tire pressures at each corner, brake balance and pressure, roll bar stiffness, suspension height and damping, and much more. The cars also can't be painted custom colors, but they each have a few pre-made "liveries" to allow for some visual variety in races. Physics are amazing, but extremely challenging when compared to some other racing games. The graphics are spectacular, a night race in a thunderstorm on a remote poorly lit track is particularly breathtaking, and watching the sunrise near the end of a 24 hour Le Mans run is equally remarkable. Some areas of the game are not done, and there are a few bugs that can be very frustrating. Normally I would drop my rating for it, but in this case I've seen the game's development team being extremely active with the community in finding and resolving the bugs, so I am confident that this game will quickly be improving. To get the best experience, I would *HIGHLY* recommend playing this game with a steering wheel and pedals. It brings the immersion to a whole new level. Force feedback isn't the best by default, but it's extremely customizable, to a level I've never seen before. The large number of FFB settings can seem daunting, but the community has an excellent collection of "alternate" feedback settings that really clean it up and make it easy to feel the road and the car reacting to it. Unfortunately, entering these settings is unique per car (and even per track if you don't do it ahead of time from your garage), which can become a long and tedious process, but in the end is worth every minute spent dialing in the numbers. I recommend starting with just a few cars settings while you figure out which "set" of FFB settings you like most. Overall, this is the most fun I've had playing a racing game, and I've played just about all of them.
Review: Move Over, Gran Turismo - After playing this game for a number of hours now, I must say I'm really enjoying it. Contrary to the reports of some other reviewers here, I want to emphasize that you do NOT have to use a steering wheel to control the cars!!! I'm doing just fine with the standard PS4 controller, thank you very much. A little throttle feathering around corners does the job. I have also found that some of the cars seem to have problems with oversteer, so I have adjusted the brake balance on those vehicles according to instructions on the "car setup" page, and that seems to take care of the problem. As you play the career mode, you encounter a surprising variety of vehicles, tracks, and weather conditions. You start out with carts and move on from there. This presents a good deal of challenge, as you find yourself winning in a high-performing car on a sunny day, and then have to struggle to drive some lumpy little spud in pouring rain in the next event. You have quite a number of different views from which to select as you drive; I prefer the "behind the car" view, which enables you to see the upcoming turns from a higher vantage point than when you're behind the wheel inside the car. I also appreciate guiding lines showing your optimum driving path and changing color from green to yellow to red to warn you to slow down on sharp curves. You can turn these lines off if you're a purist, but I find them helpful when mastering virtual roads and tracks. There is also a "weekend" mode that allows you to drive any of the cars in the game on any of the open roads or tracks. As someone who for many years had a Merkur Xr4Ti (not very reliable, but it handled beautifully), I am thrilled to drive the famous Ford Sierra Cosworth -- the souped-up racing version of the Xr4. Yes, I would know that bi-wing spoiler anywhere! I haven't tried the online mode of this game -- it's no fun for a senior like me getting slaughtered by teenage hotshots who have nothing to do but play video games! But if you're one of those young warriors, have at it... To summarize, this is a great Gran Turismo-like racing simulator, and at the current price of around $20, it provides HUGE bang for your bucks. Highly recommended -- and NO, you don't need a steering wheel!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this game support the g27 wheel?**
A: Unfortunately PS4 doesn't support G25 nor G27. So it's a matter of no racing sim on PS4 being playable with our racing wheels. If you, like me, want your wheel to be supported, visit and support the cause at Sony's official blog to voice request: http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/ideas/2014/05/20/ps4-compatibility-with-g25-steering-wheel/comment-page-3/Please spread this page to anyone you know wants to be able to play with G25 and G27 (and maybe even DFGT) on the PS4. Playing Driveclub, Project CARS, and even Gran Turismo 7 without a racing wheel is not worth it.

**Q: does this game have offline Multiplayer mode?**
A: If you mean AI races, then yes.  It also has a full career mode that you experience from a professional drivers point of view.  That means no grinding for cars and tracks, no money involved, just working yourself up the ranks base purely on your talent.

**Q: Does this include the preorder dlc**
A: It includes the Modified Car Pack, however the limited edition pack (along with the modified car pack) is only available through the limited edition hard copy and the digital version via PS4 or xBox store.

**Q: does this game support thrustmaster t80**
A: how did you get it to work? Does PS4 need update or the game?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by W***M on June 17, 2016*

Incredible racing game 10/10 Stars! I usually give most games a 6-8/10 Star review. However, this game is quite simply amazing! Aside from all the features and game-play it includes which match or EXCEED Gran Turismo and Need for speed games; its customization capabilities are stellar! This takes the Game-play opportunities up SEVERAL notches. Any racing scenarios are possible. If you don't like the Gran-Turismo realistic style of driving and feel, then you can EASILY customize or modify your vehicle to feel like an arcade type vehicle/game. For example, if you like Need for speed, and hate the Turismo style of game-play, then you can switch to NFS vehicle and game setups easily and vice versa. This is an AWESOME feature which I am very happy about.
