This is more of a first impression review of the game in the first day of the Closed Beta!

In short: if you like to customise, an open world game, nice graphics and fun co-op/online this is the game for you

Pro's:
- nice graphics
- the handling is smooth (though this is more an opinion, also, expect arcade handling over realism)
- various music genres (which i dislike when they stick to one genre, give something for everybody to choose; also, you can change between radio and sountrack in the options (if you want to add drama to your races)).
- a HUGE open world driving
- very social/competitive: you get constant updates whats going on around you, there are always players nearby
- much custom, such wow: you can change appearance of your car (which doesn't affect it's performance). it's nothing in-depth (not sure if it will come in the final release) but there is plenty to choose from to make the car look like you want it to look.

Cons:
- buggy sometimes (i encounter some slight freeze (for 5s) when a race enters and i get swapped to the next screen))
- (not really a con, but quite strange) the need for uplay (which loads quite easily together with the game)

Mind you, the bugginess comes from the fact that this is the beta. If anything, wait until the full release before saying that.

well, the cars handle better than other games i've played, it's not ridge racers where you touch the steering and the cars drift like crazy.. and biggest letdown of 2014? watch_dogs. at least this game isn't that much of a letdown. it's just my opinion about the handling, I don't think it's so bad.

smooth handling? are you kidding, the cars drive like they're on a frozen lake in northern Canada with all season tires. This game is the biggest letdown of 2014.
