I can't really recommend this game. It is beautiful and the controls are nice, however there is nobody online. Maybe once it's out of early access I can change my review, but even if there were people online to play with, the game has other issues. Namely, no controller support in any of the menus. It's very obviosuly designed for PC, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, but in this case it is. I'm trying to play on my TV while sitting back in my recliner and the menus are difficult to read and navigate. The UI is overly complex for a racing game, in my opinion.. Ive seen alot of reviews stating that this game is "dead" because there is simply no one online to race against. While this is true MOST of the time, (just recently raced against 6 other racers in a major event) those leaning on this one flaw in the game are missing out on alot of what Victory has to offer.
Victory: The Age of Racing is simply the best racing game I've played on Steam. Hands down. The blistering sense of speed is better than all but one of the many racing games I've experienced, F-Zero GX being the best in that category. The three classes of cars: Legend, Classic, and Formula, each have thier own handling characteristics and quirks, and each reqiring a different skillset to be brought to thier fullest racing potential. Combine that with probably some of the most fun and frustrating original tracks in a racing game (Mario Kart notwithstanding) and you have one hell of a racing experience. That, quite honestly, only gets better with the addition of rival racers. When they're on of course.
Car customization is another thing Victory has down. The paint room is very Forza-esque in it's function, but one thing I like about it better than Forza is the fact your graphics don't get warped on curved sections of your car. The decals curve with your cars curves, which makes painting replicas pretty satisfying. Plus the fact you can MAKE YOUR CAR LOOK HOWEVER YOU WANT IT TO. You want a crazy front wing that looks like it wont even work aerodynamically? Slap it on there! You want a two story tall rear wing on that Classic car? Go for it! Dont want wings at all? Who da heck needs downforce!? The styles of car are endless, and it's very interesting to see all the custom cars drivers make. From F1 replicas to "How is that even working?"
Also, well, going back to the point that there arent alot of people playing this game. The few who do, at least the ones that I know, are all really friendly. If you come in and see some one on, dont be afraid to ask questions. From what I know, the community in Victory recognize the lack in number of players and will help any newbie who needs help in anything. I will definitely answer any questions asked to me if im on. As you can see with my hours on record, I'm on quite a bit.
So dont let the "Mixed" reviews on this game turn you off to it. Ive had so much fun with this game in the near 10 months I've owned it, even made a few really good friends. If you see video games as an investment and not as an opportunity to have some fun, I can't help you there. But if you're looking for a well made racing experience in a fantasy setting, look no further. Come on in, theres a car with your name on it waiting to be driven.
No seriously, the cars have your name on them. It's pretty cool.
-------------------------
P.S. Forgot to mention. It's small, but probably one of the coolest features in this game is the fact that you are still in control of your car after you cross the finish line. Adds a level of immersion I haven't experienced in any racing game I've played before.. This game always has to be online. The only option is to play online with other people. And when there's nobody to play it, money is better spent on more fun games.
EDIT: This is nearly a year after the review publish date on Feb 8, 2015. It is now October 10th of the same year, and the game isn't even out of beta. The game came out on Feb 10th, 2014. Do you see the faith in this game.. Game is pretty dead, player-side and development-side. Looks good, sounds good, just is not implemented well, and doesn't have the playerbase as a result. Would not recommend.. This game deserves a longer review as it offers so much fun for comparitiveley little outlay, but I.m gonna keep it short so that I can get back to playin'
Buy into this now, if you want loads of fun building and racing cars in an arcade looking world with very sim like physics, not too sure then read on..........
Great bright, shiny racing game. Nice twist that gives you the ability to put together your own personal ride, just choose from one of three base classes of car types and then choose front\/mid and rear end combos and customise with paints and decals.
The driving model has a real pedigree ( based on the Kunos NetKar Pro engine ) and is very rewarding, you have to work with it a bit but then you get good feedback and with that control with the legend cars four wheel drifting and the classics snapping back from oversteer nicely.
The tracks are coloutful! with fantasy swooping tracks offering various surfaces adding to the fun and there is promise of procedural tracks adding a huge number of layouts in the future.
The racing is online already! with races and live hotlap parties, you earn level up race points, widgets to add boosts to and Gears to spend on improving your current ride.
Now it is early access, so there are some minor issues and it is developing, but the Devs are very much active on the forums ( that was a major factor in my purchase ) and the community is small but very encouraging.
As I said short review there is more in this game to discover and enjoy,
