Intrinsic said: so this game is bad because its challenging and the AI is agressive when racing? Ah well... I will wait for user reviews. Its getting really hard to trust these publications these days. |
The AI isn't so much agressive as it is stubborn and linear. Instead of adapting on the fly to do what is best, they just drive in a line, like they are fastened to a track and if they hit something, well its because it got in their way. This makes certain things more difficult than they have any right to be and certainly not fun to race against. Add to that the "jarringly punitive corner-cutting and collision penalty system" (eurogamer) and you don't have the most fun racing experience from what I've read.
Additionally, it is pretty barebones, with a very light campaign mode and not enough besides conventional multiplayer modes. The social functions are nice touches that do add to the game, but its not enough to really make much of a difference. When you get something that is pretty bog standard, with a few stand out flaws, I think 5s and 6s are pretty fair scores.
