After a nearly 11 month long delay, DriveClub is finally releasing for the PlayStation 4 this week. What do critics think of the Evolution Studios racer? Let’s find out.

PlayStation Universe – “DRIVECLUB blends the complexity of realistic simulation with inviting mechanics and gives just enough leeway to evoke heart-pumping power and intensity in every kind of racing fan. A graphical darling with fresh multiplayer ideas to match, DRIVECLUB is irresistible and pushes the genre forward.”

GameTrailers – “…while it’s not as broad in scope as some of its contemporaries, we aren’t finding ourselves getting bored of Driveclub. On the contrary, the more time we invest, the more we just want to keep playing. Driveclub is a focused, thrilling racer for players looking to push themselves and compete in all new territory, working up a sweat as its captivating sights and sounds fill your senses.”

GamesBeat – “The PlayStation platform has always hosted tremendous driving games, and Driveclub tries hard to live up to that legacy. The parts that are exceedingly well-polished (gorgeous cars, skill-based driving) make those that trip up (ugly A.I.) all the more disappointing. It sets a high bar for the inevitable competitors to follow, but like an inexperienced driver on a hot lap in a solo challenge, it’s sloppy in the turns.”

Game Informer – “DriveClub works as advertised, and despite the seamlessness of its single-player and online features, the game’s not wildly more captivating than most other racers out there. It captures the spur of competitive racing, but this is due more to the fact that its racing fundamentals (which are more sim than arcade) give it a good foundation rather than some groundbreaking feature set. Drive it fast and drive it hard, but don’t expect a miracle.”

EuroGamer – “The problem with DriveClub is that it’s just competent. You’ll drive some fast cars in some arresting environments. You might even have fun, in between getting clobbered with penalties. But there’s no romance to it. No passion. What there is, however, is the lingering sense that the gaps were supposed to be filled by the much-touted social features – the fires were to be stoked by human rivalry.”

Everyone seems to have a different opinion on DriveClub. You’ll hear our opinion shortly. Feel free to form your own, though, as the game is currently available for the PlayStation 4.
