    Been having a great time with drive club, I was turned off by some Driving games that were far too Sim like with technical adjustments etc. This game suits me great with its stellar looks, great handling and makes me feel competitive. It may not be for dies hard racers but for people like me whom love to dabble in all sorts of games it suits my needs more than enough!

    DriveClub is a good game, definitely worth the money - but I have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to see the full game (rather than a PS+ edition) added to PS+ in a few months. Unless you are a fan of driving games, I would wait.

    It is worth buying now and not waiting for a possible ps+ release. Handling in rain and snow makes it difficult. Really loving this game.

    Well I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. The sense of speed is great compared to a lot of other racers.

    Picked up Driveclub this evening, while I am not blown away by it, it seems to be a solid game now with very well done driving mechanics, well worth €25 anyway and the graphics at times are breathtaking.

    Picked up drive club as well, barely played it but seems fun so far. Is there a boards club to join? Seems some cars are tied to clubs to unlock, or am i misinterpreting that?

    Clubs are limited to 6 members. Some cars are tied to your Club's level. As you level up your driver, if you are a member of a club, it levels that up too.

    So is DriveClub more like Forza, Need for Speed, Gran Turismo or what? Or a mixture of them all?

    You'll be a nervous wreck by the halfway point in the game. If you're not already, play while wearing headphones.

    The slightest sound will set you on edge.

    I feel like it's less like Forza or Gran Turismo and more like Project Gotham Racing. I think there's a much better sense of speed in DriveClub. Arcadey though. It's not a sim racer. And there's a bit of rubber-banding going on, but it's not offensive. Everything I've won hasn't been by very much, and if I screw up and crash I can still catch up to the pack that was just behind me. Customisation is also minimal, only a few cosmetic colour and design changes, nothing else that I can see.

    I've started playing it with all of the HUD turned off and I'm enjoying it even more. Very happy with it, especially at 25 quid.

    Think i'm gonna have to go for Driveclub myself even though noone on my friends list has it i think. It looks amazing and you can't go wrong for 25euro.

    Also, does anyone find the battery for the controller crap? I seem to get one or two nights gaming and it needs to be recharged

    Yea, it's terrible. I only usually get about 4 hours out of mine. Bought a second one to make things easier.

    Even dimming the light bar makes no difference.

    As the light is only an LED nobody should expect it to make a difference.

    If you're being genuine then it would seem that you've got a faulty controller.
    Battery life is not great at all, but it'll last much longer than 4hrs of constant use - easily.

    It's for this reason I got a second. I normally have one charging with my phone charger while using the other. Definitely appears to have a short life and maybe it's a combination of light bar & speaker.

    People should stop buying games before they know they work, I think.

    Got limited time for games for the next few months so the back catalogue will keep me going but will be keeping an eye on The Order.
