The verdict
A legendary driving sim with excellent physics and force feedback that becomes a near-endless sandbox with Content Manager and mods. Skip it if you want plug-and-play or have no wheel and no patience for setup.
Great for
Wheel owners and tinkerers who love modding, drifting, touge and traffic cruising
Main risk
Vanilla game is barebones and setup (wheel, Content Manager, mods) eats hours before you drive
What players love
Realistic physics and force feedback

“the driving experience is outstanding. Cars feel alive and responsive, and the handling remains one of the most authentic in the genre.”
