That's to be expected, but it would be nice to know how much each upgrade will cost. All of them cost in-game currency, but all but one is locked when you begin your journey. There's a bevy of options to select in an effort to upgrade the car. Once I figured out I needed to go to the "team" option, I still felt a little lost. Upgrading your engine and other aspects of the vehicle help to improve, but you're not told when or how to improve the car. You'll quickly realize the car you have isn't one of the fastest (no matter what make you select). There's not enough information or guidance provided in career mode. Because the career mode doesn't have off-track events or any cinematic scenes, your character is on screen about as often as an extra in a B-movie.Īgain, the game is bitten by a lack of personality. The character creation suite is decent, but it's ultimately a waste of time. It might be cool to take aim at recreating the viewer's experience. Some gamers want to feel as though they're in the cockpit, but that is a difficult experience to emulate from an audio standpoint. I wish a racing title would explore TV-style audio presentation.
He calls out the most obvious occurrences and his presence exacerbates the absence of useful commentary. The engineer's voice in your ear as you race is one of the most annoying and useless audio components in the game.
Yes, this is the first version for the PS4 and XB1, but there should have been more under the hood. The lobbies were limited and there aren't a lot of options overall. Lastly, the multiplayer aspect of the game is as shallow as you'll find. Career mode lets you create a driver to play through an uninspiring journey that is devoid of excitement and personality. Completing the challenges delivers in-game rewards.Ĭhampionships allows you to play through a Sprint Cup Series campaign of varying lengths. Challenges put you in specific situations from last season with the world's best drivers. Race offers a single event on any of the included tracks. Normally, that would be an acceptable amount of options, but because none of the modes have layers, it still feels like an empty feature set. There are five options to choose from on the main menu: Race, Challenges, Championships, Career and Multiplayer. You can see them during races, but this part of the visual package can be best appreciated during the race replays.
Close-up shots of the action deliver a sense of authenticity that adds to the immersion. The visuals aren't exactly jaw-dropping, but every one of the sponsor decals looks incredibly official emblazoned on the hood of the car.
