Uninstalled it instantly. Doing my first race. Manage the quali, the whole 57 lap race. Get in first place with a few laps to go. My driver (Norris) on the last lap right in front of the finish line, slows down and stops to let max verstappen go by for the win. I am absolutely furious. I will never play this game again.

I can't recommend this game and I got it on sale. You'd think they would've figured out the controls on these games after making them for 17 years but it looks like they couldn't care less about actually improving game play. Sure it's a beautiful game, but I don't about historical locations in Iraq. Video games should be about game play. And the game play is lacking and hasn't changed in almost 2 decades.

Must have if you're a fan of the original or just enjoy a good mafia story. Story/levels live up to the original and made better in a lot of ways. Some of the details slipped my mind since I finished the game over a week ago but I thoroughly enjoyed Mafia DE. Probably took about 14+- hours or so on classic difficulty to finish the story line. I died a lot. Just like the original. I'm also happy to report they didn't nerf the race mission like I thought they would. It was just as challenging as the original. Another thing I liked was the characters. Probably liked them more than the original.

No freeride extreme and the freeride mode is slightly different. I like what they did. You can find plenty of little side missions to unlock items. Clothes, cars, stuff like that. I haven't spent too much time in freeride yet but I liked what I saw.

What happened to the traffic lights though? And lucas bertone side missions? And speaking of I was not a fan of the way they handled the how the police interact when you're breaking the law. Plus the cars matter less. If that makes sense. These things did not met my expectations that the original game had.

That's all I have to say about it now. Highly recommend.

What can I say? How do you make the best RTS even better? You release the Definitive Edition. I can't go back to HD or classic now.

Couldn't wait to give this title a try. Huge fan of Road Rash series. However for me this fell short. I found the UI was pretty poor, I did not like the way upgrades worked, too grindy. I gave up pretty early on this game because I was pretty disappointed from the get go. So I got a refund, which I never do. Kind of surprised by the Very Positive score but I guess you just can't win them all.

If you like simbin games you'll enjoy this. Definitely not a fan of the paying for content system but if you buy while content is on sale you can get a lot of cars and tracks for a pretty reasonable price considering the cost of other sim racing games. Plus the base game is free with no subscription. I find on a G27 the FFB out of the box is better than AC or rF2. The AI is fun, the cars are fun. Simbin games have always been fun realistic simulators that haven't gotten the credit they deserve.

As someone who would rather sit behind the wheel than behind the wall, I enjoy this game very much. If you think managing gaps and tire strategies would be fun than this was made for you. I've never played another "manager" game before, but I feel like this one just scratches the surface of the level of depth and detail they could go into. Given that this is the first Motorsport Manager game I'm sure they'll get more in depth in the future. But it doesn't take away from the fun. Just less micro managing.

I find the UI and flow of the experience took a bit to get used to.. wasn't too intuitive. Get better once you understand where things are at. Like, the continue button which continues through your calendar, then the back/forward navigation buttons? Some interesting design choices.

My experience thus far:
Only 8 hours in so far. 3 races into the season and a couple of practice grand prixs. I recommend to do the exhibition races until you're comfortable enough for the season otherwise you'll throw the first couple races away. The drivers AI can be a little frustrating at times since they don't really drive like real racing drivers. The most frustrating thing I've run into in this game is lapped traffic. I lost a race because the lapped traffic decided it was going to race against me. Destroyed my soft tires and allowed 2nd place to catch up and pass me right at the line. That's really the biggest issue I've found in the game so far. Otherwise it's a lot of fun, and if you're a fan of motorsports (Especially Formula 1) Than this game will be fun for you.

I've been looking for a game to fill the void in my heart left by one of my favorite console series games, Tiger Woods. This game actually does that pretty well. However this game is slightly more challenging than TW series. I would consider this more "sim" type and TW more of an arcade simulator. The part that stands out to be the most difficult is the putting. Which I haven't quiet nailed down yet and sometimes can be a little frustrating. That said I've played a few rounds on this game and have really enjoyed it. The graphics aren't bad but in this day in age could be a little better. It definitely has that Unity engine look/feel. If you are like me and are looking for a decent Golf PC game that plays like the TW series on Xbox than this is your game.
