Some events require a very specific car, so you need to read all upcoming events and choose the car that can race in the highest number of events. So if you bought an Italian car, then you will need to purchase a German car. For example, you may just purchase a random car for the few events where the restriction might simply be вЂњC classвЂќ, but then the next events might be вЂњC class from GermanyвЂќ.

You need to be really careful which cars you purchase. Also, the very first tier was Go-Karts but they do not feature here - and this is another aspect that makes it feel like it isnвЂ™t вЂњProject CarsвЂќ. Previous games allowed you to jump into whichever tier you wanted. It's a linear progression system so you work your way through the tiers and can easily get stuck because of the restrictions. XP can be earned outside of the career mode, so you can set-up single player races, or play the online events - one mode is just racing against target times, so you donвЂ™t race against human players in real time. Money is quite hard to come by, so you sometimes need to grind. You can gain bonus XP for hitting the correct racing line when entering/exiting corners, and other aspects like hitting top speed, leading the race etc. Money is achieved by levelling up rather than winning races. You now purchase cars and can purchase upgrades. The fourth event is unlocked by completing 6 challenges in the other 3 events which can be difficult to do. The thing is, it is rare that the challenge is to win, it might just be to вЂњmaster x cornersвЂќ, вЂњdraft then overtakeвЂќ, вЂњreach x mphвЂќ. In each event, thereвЂ™s 3 challenges and you need to complete these to unlock other events. The Career mode is split into car classes, then these have groups of 4 events. Overall, it seems like a simplification and loses the pure sim racing speciality that the franchise was known for. Some features have been removed like tyre wear, fuel use and therefore - pits. Damage is also just cosmetic and doesnвЂ™t impact the performance of your car.

The graphical models are similar to the previous game - slightly tweaked in places, mainly a change in colour palette or lighting. ItвЂ™s still fairly realistic, but is more forgiving and has an arcade presentation - itвЂ™s more colourful, especially in the menus. Dirt took a different direction with Dirt Showdown, Grid changed with Grid Autosport, Forza had Forza Horizon. By Ignition_jammy | Review Date: October 18, 2021ДЄ recent trend in racing games is to take a franchise that has a certain identity, then change it.
