I'm going to college to become a technician at a Subaru dealer in Colorado. I'm starting school with a very minimal range of knowledge when it comes to repairing cars. Don't get me wrong, cars have been apart of more than 50% of my daily life. My life revolves around cars, but if I wanted to be a Subaru tech, I needed the knowledge.

Now I don't have the money to purchase broken cars, and fix them, but I've had to do a few things on my Subaru that really upped my knowledge (Timing belt + Water pump, Serpetine belts, Oil changes, etc...).

I began searching for ways to further my knowledge; I found this game on the automechanics subreddit and it has actually been very helpful. The game itself isn't realistic in the sense that it could be a training tool for a mechanic (The bolts are incredibly unrealistic. 3/4 of the cars you work on are rusted to hell, rusted bolts should not come out that fast without penetrating sprays); but it's a fantastic tool for figuring out where certain parts of the car are. Don't know how to access, or find the pistons? Now you do. Do you not know how to diagnose certain problems with the car, without a scan tool? Now you do.

I'm gonna make a pros/cons list of this game.

Pros:

- Very great tool for gaining knowledge of part locations
- Gives you a general idea on how the car works
- Graphics are amazing
- Game is actually pretty fun, even if you don't want to be a mechanic
- Wide selection of parts


Cons:

- Not realistic in terms of truly repairing a car
- Not a lot of variety in cars. I'd love to see semi trucks, busses, wider selection in Wagons, Sedans, SUVs, etc...

I can't find 1 single thing wrong with this game. Like seriously, this should be a fun game no matter what type of genres you play. I don't know how they did it, but this game is just... amazing! I find myself playing it over and over all day long. At one point, I was playing so much, that I forgot to go to class for almost a week.

Pros:
- Cheap
- Addicting
- Never gets old
- No microtransactions (Okay there are, but who's gonna buy $400 for $1??)
- For a simple, colorful, 2D/3D game, it doesn't look half bad. The graphics are pleasant to the eyes, not too many obscure colors romping about.
- Did I say addicting?

Cons:
- Addicting
- May cause you to fail AP Calc

I can't believe we thought this would be a great game on the PC... Even though this is the Beta, we all should know very well, that this is basically what the real game will be.

It sucks to say this, but I think Advanced Warfare was a lot more successful than Black Ops 3, even though it had a ♥♥♥♥ ton of Micro transactions.

This is a terrible game even for the price. The lack of actual game play is horridifying. Not to mention the lag you get when taking 1 step. I'm running a 4770k @4.5Ghz, 32GB of ram, and 2 GTX 780 Tis and I can't even run this game? Something needs to be done right now.
