by the time I post you will have finished the game and be wondering why it is becoming a repetitive bore. Maybe you should have read about this game's design before making your purchase. It is rather hollow except for the challenges in story mode but you already know this now.

Oh whoa is you...

Read before you text. If you have been following the release content for PS4 PC and Xbone you will know what the exclusives are for Sony's PS4 and understand that waiting might be better than getting crappy content design.

I for 1 have ordered Drive Club because I have my eyes and ears open to new engine technology. You have to look beyond the glossy advertising and delve into a world that is not transparent in giving its secrets away. Game design is a competition of sorts to show how simulation meets real world ideals.

But Drive Club is not real world. Drive Club is a game you may never finish because of the way it is designed. The objective is not about coming first but more about how your contribution weighs against the opposition in race events throughout your career path. If you have a high skill rating, your opposition have a handicap against your skill and you are required to become smarter in how you out drive your opponent. Road rules don't apply but you will lose if you don't play fair. It's like you will be penalized for tripping on the field of play. The Ai in this game is very good and is a step forward of what has been seen in the past. This is a new way of playing racing games with a decent area of map. This content is likely to be addon later.

Note this is an online game only - there is no solo single player affair. You cannot split screen this game. It will be a big social party. You can design events and set challenges for the game play world or your friends.

You the driver is in a club you set up with friends or join, are part of a specialist group that is pitted against similar design groups You cant drive everywhere but there is a free drive mode. You can't play all disciplines and you have to choose what you want to drive. This will determine what you represent. This game is teamwork but you can enter solo race events so you don't need you team on at the same time. Also you can set a race score and you team mates can contribute to that race event when they are logged in. You will be able to link your real mobile phone and watch your team whilst you are at work or doing something elsewhere whilst at the same time be receiving skill-points from their contribution. It has been mentioned elsewhere that this game is like the English Football League goes Drive club.

Clubs earn credit and that buys cars and more importantly allow a bidding war to develop for purchasing you as a driver for another club. You can decline the option to move because you may not be party to the bidding. When you move clubs you take your existing skill and it either ranks up or down depending on how the rating is of your new club. I'd say that this will become more important as people progress in the game. Players with lower scores but clean driving records will score better than a winner who is erratic and careless.

This will certainly be well sought after because I know that pre-orders in the UK are very high. 100k + already. I am based in Australia and 7 of my PS4 friends here have pre-order like me to guarantee buying this game. Some people are going to miss out because the first release of pre-orders has sold out in some locations and there won't be another release this side of Christmas. Release is November 2014. There has been very little marketing of this game and it already has my interest far beyond anything else on the release chart for 2014 early 2015. I am not endorsing any games here. This is just fact from my discussion around the globe and my conversations with developers. I don't buy every game release either so I'm not an advocate for everything here nor would I want to be.

What you pay in rent someone reaps your rental time. You will never learn to save your money long enough to own a game console. If you own a console that you saved and paid for by earning money you will also learn to look after it and get better life of discs drive by not putting dirty discs in the slot - its not going to take too long and you'll see why its better to not be paying someone endlessly for your entertainment.
