Video Game Reviews of rFactor V. 1.255
Customer Review: iPhone of racing sims
Summary: 5 Stars
As it comes, rFactor is a great racing sim. What makes it special are all the free cars and tracks you can download. You can customize rFactor for any type of racing you can imagine. From driving a go kart around Monaco to driving a Zonda at Laguna Seca.
Check out [...] to see what is available. Like the iPhone and it's apps, rFactor's free downloads make this sim special.
Customer Review: BEST RACING GAME EVER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
rFactor is the greatest driving game on the market.. there are unlimited tracks and mods you can use with this game. purchase it 1 time and you can download more tracks and different cars and trucks (from F1 to lawnmowers!)
than you can ever drive.There is new stuff constantly being developed for it everyday. If you have a computer that will allow you to max out the graphics this game has to offer, you will be AMAZED!!!
Customer Review: One of the best racing sims you can buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite basicly being a mod platform, rFactor does it right.
Great graphics and sound, and tons of tracks from across the world and great mods by CTDP, MMG and others make it worth it for Formula fans, and other forms of motorsport.
It's worth the price.
Customer Review: Good but not the greatest
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first Racing Sim I have found and have stuck with over the past year or so, Its pretty good however you need to download a majority of the content on your own.
Tracks and Cars are mainly User created and usually are free to download while some specific and more wanted downloads require another game such as GTL because the modders ripped the cars/tracks from the game and require that you actually own the product for you to install.
The menu's for online play are quite confusing and unless you join a league your most likely to never find people that race your favorite cars around your favorite tracks.
Open wheeled cars seem to be the preferred car to race Online.
AI isn't the greatest, either they are too aggressive and spin you out, they are too slow or they just get in your way and cause you to crash. Playing Online can be the same way if you race in public servers, most of the time you'll end up getting a few people that purposely crash but there are quite a few people that actually want to race.
Other than that and a few minor issues.
Customer Review: Best Modders Sim Period-Multiple Real World Series/cars/tracks available
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this a few years ago and have been happy with it. This game is really the successor to the F1 Challenge series EA and ISI put out a while ago that is also heavily modded. I have F1 seasons and tracks from 79,88,91,05,06,07,08,09 as well as Champ Car 05-06, Indycar 94-95,08-09, GT cars, Mclaren F1 Challenge, Zonda Challenge,Historic Rally Cars Mod, F430 Challenge, and a lot of single cars for use in the all tracks and cars series.
You can use any track for any car you have, say using Indycars on F1 tracks or GT cars on Ovals. I've got I would say about 100 tracks from the modding sites as well as the series mentioned above for over 20GB's of data, so rFactor is really not about the stuff it comes with but the stuff you can get online that makes it the ONLY racing game you should have. You can get Formula Japan, GP2, and many other series cars and tracks. They are free to download and the details and graphics are amazing in most of them, the best I've seen are the CDTP F1 2006 and IDT Champcar and Indycar series. The GT ALL 3.96 comes with both new and old GT cars in a lot of paint jobs and configurations, including Porches, Mosler, Corvette, Viper, Saleen, Ferrari and any of the other GT1/2/LM/etc. classes you can think of.
There are hundreds of tracks to download and race from every corner of the world as well as fantasy tracks and cars. Like I said you can race any car on any track. Either they have self installers or you just copy and paste into the locations folder to install, the same goes for the cars.
This is really best for open wheel, touring cars, Stock cars and any other asphalt/circuit based racing, it's OK for dirt rally or trucks but those are best in the dedicated games like Collin Mcrae or Richard Burns. This game is fairly easy to adjust the difficulty and other settings once you play around with it. I'm no strict sim player and thankfully you can pretty much adjust it to whatever level you want.
This game also has multiple 3rd party plugins for realistic cameras, textures, data acquisition, wet tracks and almost anything else. You should go to [...], fileplanet or softpedia to get cars, tracks and plugins. So depending on your level of interest this game could replace your collection of separate games for separate racing types and be relevant for a long time to come, every race game fan should get this period.
