Superbly done motorsport managing game, but not without drawbacks...

Pros.

Addictive gamplay - always a problem to solve, or something to make better.
Great politics system - much more in-depth that I intially thought.
Superb upgrading/design system - really makes you think about what is best for your team and drivers, instead of just maxing out everything.
Races themselves are well done - active weather, occasional crashes, team disputes.
Mod support!

Cons.

Soundtrack - all cars sound the same (and not in a good way), and a single track playing in the background between races gets annoying FAST.
Race strategies are far too easy to optimise - very little benefit of the undercut, for example.
Can be quite easy to dominate constantly.
No difficulty levels - just one.
No point of the 3D race viewing - everything still stays very far away, so there's no much point.

Overall, brilliant game, great potential, can't wait to see where it goes next! 8/10

Hmm...where to start!
Pros: great to see a lot of care and attention to such a great car maker.
Graphics are...decent I guess.
Plenty of cars to choose from.
Good selection of tracks.

Cons: physics engine is AWFUL. I mean, truly dreadful. It's not an arcade racer, or a sim, it's kinda meh.
Windows live login required, and takes a lot longer to load because of it.
Menu doesn't make much sense, and reconfiguring keys (ie, for a gamepad or similar) is very complex.
Feels like it has been made by a very inexperienced developer.

4/10

The only issue I have with this game is that it's hard to enjoy more than once - but not because of the gameplay. The gameplay is truly superb, but when the plot concludes playing it again means it doesn't mean as much, such is the ending. It does, however, which many other military shooters don't have, are plenty of moral choices which aren't signposted the entire way, as well as dealing with consequences of them.
This is a truly powerful, moving game, with some great gameplay and characters throughout.
9/10

A hugely fun game to play, just don't go expecting a sim! Great selection of planes to choose from, though some planes are pointless really. The only big issue is the levelling up system - takes a huge amount of time to level up to max level, and as there's barely anyone on the multiplayer it becomes very hard to unlock the final few planes. Other than that, a very good game, and well worth getting.

This game is a real derp-fest. Not in a bad way, however! It's a very fun game, with subtle satirical digs and the ability to go from plain silly to laughably stupid. Stupid stupid derpy stupid fun.

A supremely epic game to play, though the storyline was a bit mish-mash. I know that it's the start of a new IP for Ubisoft, but there are a number of vectors which aren't explored even remotely (this indicates that you'll be exploring them in sequels). This doesn't do the game justice, with some very exciting gameplay, challenging missions, and a huge map without ever feeling too big (Just Cause 2, for example). Worth your time and money, just don't go in expecting a decent ending.

By all means, a good game. Fantastic gameplay, superb storyline, and a npc escort character that genuinely helps out. A very good game, but somehow is just missing something. I found the shooting mechanic clunky, the vigors a touch on the pointless side, and I really didn't like how Booker kept saying 'huh' or 'hmm' in the least interested way possible every two minutes. Unfortunately the plot suffered a bit in the middle - as soon as Elizabeth creates holes in alternate dimensions (not a spoiler there, this happens relatively early on) I saw how it was going to end. Maybe not exactly how, but that kinda ruined the game in my opinion. That being said, it's definitely worth your time and money, and I'm just nit-picking,
