So driveclub is Sony's biggest commercial fail of the PS4 on that we can all agree with.
Evolution might have optimized the basics and by far most important aspects of a racegame but it doesn't appeal to the masses who want the 200 cars and don't care if the only spec that matters in which class the car belongs to act in a certain way and whether it is FWD or RWD. Neither do the masses care if the lighting looks realistic and if each detail is implanted in a car.

Dear Sony you just waste a shitload of money since many people won't even try out the PS+ version with these reviews. Which is a shame since it is basically almost the perfect spiritual successor of PGR, and the things that matter are very well executed

The complaints seem to be that it is simply dull.  PGR was very far from dull.

From what I have seen it isnt what you think it is or PGR wasnt what you think it was.

Perhaps it is the Dutch reviews I've read and most where quite positive and loved the gameplay which was due to the sense of speed. But mind me I've read mostly the positive reviews since I mostly read dualshockers, insidegamer and pu.nl. Neither have I read user reviews since bashing is a trend, insidegamer even sees driveclub as the Next Gen PGR, but I could be wrong.

Insidegamer quote translated "However, it is easy to evaluate the racing experience. Drive Club feels like a new generation of Project Gotham Racing. The pace is fast , the game is nicely challenging and there is sufficient attention to realism to grow . Racing sensation"

From what I read in the quote it should pretty much play like gotham racing, but perhaps other reviews have a different opinion.
