@swennoj--- As i play more of the game, i will rethink on my intial impression and see if by that stage, would i change my score . As Ludicrous speed mentioned, the penalty system is pretty crap and annoying as the AI only knows how bump you or try to take you out , reducing the score you get for the race. Plus while playing more, i noticed the AI has alot of catchup. No matter how good you drive , the AI will always really really close behind. You cannot be really far ahead of the AI. I would imagine that alone would reduce the score of thr game as it doesn't shwow the intelligence of the AI, its just a cheap way to add that extra challenge that the developers think it will add for the players when they do a race in driveclub.

If the AI raced as good as they can, them most people would complain about how hard the game is.

People who really played the game = the game is a lot better than what the score tells.

People that didn't play, saw reviews or played few minutes = the game is mediocre and deserves the low score.

Which to believe? Choices to make.

i have the game and have been playing it fir hours. the game is fun but nothing special. my score for the game would be close to some of the reviews that reviewers gave. i would give driveclub a 7/10  which is still a good score.  For me the game drivng mechanics i way to simplistic , which provides no challenges when racing , even in cockpit view. The only challenge that the game brings is when the weather comes out.  Plus for me the track design so far are quite bland and boring . 

Why/How is the driving mechanics is too simplistic? I don't think driving should have anything more than gas, brake, gears, wheel, maybe nos... if you race the Mclaren you get DRS and KERS. That is good enough... Sure it is a lot easier to drive than GT, but it is expected to have it like that since it is more arcadey than sim, I love sim, but I liked the racing mechanics of this game... And easier/slower class raced on clean weather from third person in before pro-level oponent is such an easy job it doesn't even challenge you, but you can always pick up a worse car to make more challenges.

Try to get all the stars and then say it is easy... mainly on time attack.
