Just Me _

I purchased a physical copy on day one but have since sold my copy for a small loss because it's clearly going to take a long, long time to bring the game upto minimum levels of acceptability, so I may as well just wait and (potentially) rebuy it later when it's much cheaper...but given Simteract's less than adequate reputation for abandoning their projects (Train Life anyone?) I don't really hold much hope for Taxi Life ever reaching it's true potential. Plus, the lack of any wheel support for X|S is a bit of a kick in the teeth when you consider the fact that up until a month before launch it was promised - so again, you simply cannot take Simteract's 'going forward' intentions with any level of credibility. The only real positive I could find was that the small area of Barcelona they replicated (appx 4x3 miles) does look quite nice. Granted, detail draw distances are not great and there is a substantial amount of pop-in (vehicles and buildings) but the overall visual quality isn't half bad for a mid-priced game. Look, Taxi Life is initially quite playable to a certain degree but there will come a time when you get completely fed up with the overall quality of gameplay and it will be only then that you start to question the value of your purchase (which will be non-refundable if it's a digital copy) so it's entirely upto you if you think it's worth the risk. Me? I got around 4 hours into Taxi Life before realising I'd made a huge mistake.

Buyer beware! A great looking low-poly racer that harks back to the good old days of Virtua Racing and Daytona USA but is blighted with technical issues that have yet to be (and probably never will be) addressed. A bit a shame that this modern day policy of 'releasing something broken and swiftly moving on' has crept into BOTH of the FRR games because the potential was there to really make an impact on the arcade racing genre, yet on each occasion making a fast buck seemed more important than presenting a decent product. If you really must make a purchase then all I can suggest is set your expectations to 'low' and just take World Tour for what it is...a great concept trapped inside a messy game.

Be careful what you wish for. The Heat games were good to play but because of Unity always performed badly so we all got what we hoped for when Motorsports Games moved over to Unreal, but instead of being a game to celebrate they have totally reversed things by releasing a good looking game that is truly awful to play. I'm now in the position of having to wait patiently for Microsoft's 24 hour 'cooling off' period so I can apply for a refund because I flat refuse to have to yet again wait months and months for a game to be fixed to the point where it's fit for purpose. NASCAR Ignition is terrible....please don't make the same mistake as I did by purchasing it.
