Project Torque Review

One thing you will notice right away is it takes a very long time to download. I have a new computer, so anyone with a bit of an old computer better prepare for a long download.

The first time the game was not all that excited. It worked very well in high-end graphics. I tried the single player mission, which gives a great decline of what you need to get started. But I got bored with the missions .. A week later or so, tried again and this time tried the multiplayer. Then I realized this game had me hooked!


The graphics are really good, especially for a free game to play. The outdoor camera is nice, but maybe not very realistic in the chamber. You can see the steering wheel, mirrors, even the heater control panel and other display! I was also surprised at the character inside the car. His (or her) arms are actually shown in motion according to your address. For now, you can only choose a man or woman of your avatar, but in the future will allow for personalization. I can not wait!

The cars are very well designed. There are a lot of fun to drive (especially when you have the camera inside a). The maps have amazing detail. It is not absolutely perfect, but when ever? It is very pleasant to drive around.


The missions are good to get started. They also provide a nice challenge. But online gaming has a lot of variety. There are few ways. Not the regular race course. There is a way to explore, which run around the large maps and things round pick (some with power-ups, or low). Has the most wins in the end. There is a race car, which is high speed and very realistic. No one liked me because I was in first and crashed against a person who did not move, then it was in the last ... But it is a very intense race. There is also a drift mode, where the drift is assumed, among others.

I was surprised how easy it is to get money (RP) and experience. You can come late and still get something. There is no pay for gas or repairs, thoug you sometimes have to repair (I think it adds realism good). Careers and explore ways usually not too long, but very funny and very well rewarded. You can play a game at any time, so casual players or players with ADD can still have fun.


The controls in this game are pretty simple. I think you can connect a wheel, which makes it very fun. Otherwise, not too difficult to play. There are good physical in this game, so the races are pretty participation, and you still have to stay on their toes. Drifting can be a little tricky, but once you try it a couple of times to be able to make some surprising twists.


The sound effects are pretty good. His usual hum of the engines, etc. The music is also pretty good and fits in the game. But if you want more variety you can put your own mp3 files!

Cars are a feast for the eyes, and with a lot of interior details, have fun driving them. Unfortunately, some of them can only be purchased with cash (which is, like the actual stores, incredibly expensive). However, given a couple of cars as you play and you can still buy some. Customization is not much for performance. There are some nice styling features that is very affordable (a pair of runs for a spoiler). This is an area that still needs to expand.

In short, this game is pretty amazing for a free game. I think it can compete with games like Project Gotham Racing and the likes. It's free! The shop owner is very expensive, as most are, but the positive side, it means that you can still play for free and the content is often added. Unlike a game to buy everything, this game will keep improving and get updated.

Anyone who likes racing games, or even some who really do not, you can enjoy this. It's easy to get into it quickly, which is good for casual gamers, and is also highly addictive, ideal for intense gamers. I suggest you have a good computer to play this, since the graphics are very good at the top. Some people have trouble controlling the cars, but some people learn quickly.

If you, like me, often come in free to play with low expectations, you will be happy to find this. And hopefully, because it is online and is funded by a cash shop, which will continue with new players and new content.
