#DRIVE Rally Preview Cons:
- Related the handling is tight but it does take some getting used to especially how ineffective the handbrake can be.
- Hitting the walls and barriers is overly punishing.
- On loading screens the game shows the Y button as X, it shows an Xbox controller.
- No signs come up for the corners just speech and subtitles.
- You don’t get a mini-map.
- The game is skirting both arcade and sim but never commits to one.
- No damage model.
- Your co-driver repeats one-liners a lot.
- Harsh time penalties for hitting barriers are more because the tracks are quite thin.
- Not a fan of a track showing 100 percent and yet I’m still racing 20 seconds later.
- The Co-driver for Northern Lights is so annoying and loves to just shout and scold you all the time.
- There are no online or local multiplayer modes, the only online you have is leaderboards.
