It’s really hard for me to recommend Clutch, even despite me spending 11 hours of my life playing it.
For one, the PS3 version is the definitive version of the game with many improvements which I will mention later.
This game had so much potential but unfortunately, it just comes off as rushed halfway.
Only 3 cars out of 8 are customizable, and they have some cars shown in the concept art that don’t appear in the game at all. The races are too easy and the car collisions are really bad, you’ll ram some cars at full speed and they would BARELY get any damage.

The only thing I dont like on this is that it does not have a proper thing to upgrade your performance of the car instead theres gambling which is annoying and feels like slot machine rather than upgrading

Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered
HIT CHARACTER LIMIT, VIEW THE COMMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE GAME
This was an interesting review to write. On one hand, it’s an extremely fun game to sink a lot of time into. On the other hand, it’s basically a re-release of a game, not a remaster. The game itself when it was released in 2010 was really fun. I really enjoyed it (although I’m still not a huge fan of the very heavy steering that the game supplies) for its really fun gamemodes online, good graphics, great car list, and the really good tactical nature of most of the online stuff. It’s also immensely satisfying when you do get a really good run through a series of corners at top speed and shaving off that extra fraction of a second when grinding for good times on all the single player events. Likewise, it’s also hugely satisfying to release that perfectly timed spike strip to catch one of your enemies off guard, allowing for your teammates to move in to take them out of the game.

For reference, I bought the 2010 “Limited Edition” version of this game’s original release for PS3 pretty much as soon as it was available. I played through all of its DLCs, too. Is this remaster a faithful recreation of everything from that version of the game? Pretty much, yeah.
I understand that a few cars were removed for the remaster. However, from what I’ve read online, the Carbon Motors E7 was removed because Carbon Motors no longer exists as a company, and the two Mercedes SLR McLarens(Mercedes McLaren 722 Edition and Mercedes McLaren Sterling Moss) due to Mercedes selling off their stake in McLaren starting back in 2009 and not completing until 2011(after the original NFS:HP 2010 release).

Need for Speed™ Rivals
after playing this game for a long while and completing both campaigns, I’ll say that this NFS game has become one of my newest favorites and now rivals Hot Pursuit 2010/Remastered for my favorite NFS game of all time.
However, for the first time in an NFS game, i actually enjoy the Cop side more than the Racer side in this game.
Usually, when it comes to an NFS game with both a Racer & Cop side, i usually tend to enjoy the Racer side more. Racers always felt more intensifying due to the fact you were basically running for your life. But most cop AIs were easy to overcome once you learned their patterns.

gameplay wise this game has a really great concept + its quite enjoyable
there are somethings that are really improper tho,
like theres no offline mode & 30fps cap
there are many bugs too but they can be removed mostly by simply moving the game to a ssd rather than a hdd.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
People who grew up playing NFS Underground 1 and 2 will most likely be disappointed, since the focus on customization and 4-cylinder tuners that they know and love aren’t featured in this game.
! People who know that Need For Speed existed before Underground will know that despite the powerups and pop music, this is the closest NFS has been to the original games in a long time.
Gameplay-wise, from an outside perspective, Hot Pursuit does what an arcade racer should do best and focuses on high-speed driving above all else. Not only is the game arcade-y from a physics perspective, but it’s actually set up kind of like a game you’d see in an actual arcade; you don’t buy or upgrade cars at all, nor do you unlock the city part by part. You simply have a list of available cars, you pick what you want, and you start racing. I can see how most people would think that might be a negative thing (I myself probably would have preferred buying and upgrading vehicles) but I think the “quick race” approach works surprisingly well here. The driving feels good to me; the cars have a good amount of weight to them but are still easy to handle. Being able to play as a racer or a cop feels good too, and Criterion did a good job of infusing the game with some Burnout-influenced mechanics (such as takedowns and earning nitro) while still making Hot Pursuit feel distinctly like it’s own game.

This is by a long shot, the best car racing game that I’ve ever played! Even though it was made in 2010, the graphics are stunning and the features of the game are very realistic. I played the wii version of the game and it is entirely different but this one is more challenging than that one.
You can play as the scpd (cops) and a racer, there are 2 different careers, one as a cop, and the other, a racer.
As you progress as a racer, you get bounty to unlock better cars, upgraded equipment, and the most dangerous thing about a racer, your suspect bounty increases, so more cops chase you. As a racer, you can change the color of a car but as a cop, you cannot change the color.

Crash Drive 3
Because I enjoy Crash Drive 2, I volunteered to help test this game (unpaid, but I got a free copy) and have played every day for over a year. Not because I’m dedicated (actually I’m rather lazy), but because it’s fun.
Like CD2, you can easily play for just a few minutes at a time, as each event or tank battle is only a few minutes, so ideal to fit in to the spare moments in a day. The vehicle physics is certainly not realistic, but rather sort of cartoony. You can drive up vertical walls, spin mid-air and many other impossible but entertaining things. It is particularly crazy on the moon.

I’ve had to change my review from positive to negative to positive. Here’s why.
AN IN DEPTH REVIEW So you can make an informed purchase! haha!
Firstly, straight up this game, from the moment you load it up, it’s just a good time. Always a good time!
The few(8) negative reviews on here suck, so I’ll try to address those first and the actual issues here. This is my first Crash Drive title.
1. You don’t need a roll button since the game does roll you over back, but a rest button could be handy.

Initial Drift Online
Initial Drift Online is of course using the hype of Initial D.
In this game you can easily find the best and most popular cars of the 80s', 90s' and 00s'
Video settings can be customised and it is easy to do so, therefore you don’t have to worry about your PC not running it.
Mouse&keyboard controls are easy, but won’t give you the best experience - my recommendation is a good, solid controller. Steering wheel controlling is buggy and may not work in some cases.
The starting AE86 is very weak and it heavily understeers, so don’t worry that you can’t get any good drifts or slides. Remember to change your suspension and wheel camber for the best experience!
– Real player with 161.2 hrs in game
My first impressions were rough. The brakes make you skid into everything, the steering is twitchy with horrendous understeer AND snap oversteer, but I found the tofu shop and accepted the tofu delivery jobs, driving the passes over and over (and over and over) again.
I spent some tofu money on better brakes and engine upgrades so the car was definitely faster, and thanks to suspension tweaks it handles more to my liking too, and the more I drive the better the car gets.
It’s not better just because I’m getting better at the game either, it’s because this game has a level up system.

Road Rage
I don’t honestly believe this game should get all of the hate that it does. Certainly not a perfect game, it still has its silly fun. The story is a bit out there at times, the voice acting ranges from decent to truly suspect and the odd glitches can be hilarious (hitting a pedestrian can sometimes send you into into the 1200+mph range). That said, I tend to rate games on whether I am having fun or not and this game really didn’t fail to be entertaining at some level. The soundtrack is fun and the game won’t take long to 100% if that is your thing (though the last 2 achievements of hitting a certain number of pedestrians feels like it takes forever since there is no way for you to track it).

This is one of the biggest pieces of trash I’ve ever played. It’s absolutely hilarious. I have now played this game several times over.
The “story” is awful; in the beginning of the game they tried, but later on they got so lazy that it is almost nonexistent. The voice acting is laughably bad. The game looks terrible, and the insane pop-in when you first start the game sets the tone for the rest of the game. The AI is braindead. I could keep going. Everything is wrong.
The best part, however, is the physics. The physics in this game are absolutely broken. This is what makes the game special and hilarious. You never know when you are going to fly off your bike, fall through the world, clip through buildings, explode, etc., and it never got old for me.

CrashMetal - Cyberpunk
I’ll talk about the pros and cons of this game to let you, the reader, know more about the game, at the end I’ll give my opinion on the game in it’s current state and let you decide whether it’s worth it or not.
-PROS-
The game is very well optimised for both my laptop and my PC and run well on both systems.
There’s a lot of customisation for the different vehicles that are currently in the game
The map is a decent size, it’s not huge and it’s not small
You’re able to teleport to the different races/bosses without having to spend any credit (aka in-game currency)
– Real player with 4.2 hrs in game
The game is really great although there are a lot of bugs, sometimes when I am in the performance upgrade page I go to press escape, but it doesn’t work and I have to close the game then reopen it for it to work. As well as when you enter drift area, you cannot go onto other events even after the timer for drift mode runs out, so you would have to go back to garage then back into the map to be able to access the other races, and the problem of “Name too short” while trying to access multiplayer, you can’t actually change your name so that kinda sucked. The graphics are really great, gameplay is a little confusing at first, but then you learn them quickly and the races are good but repetative.
