Review revised - inconsistent experience
Originally I had given ROC 5 stars because I found it to be an addictive racing experience. After further races and having the opportunity to dig deeper into the handling of more vehicles I find it very inconsistent. Assists on or off some vehicles are almost undrivable (Im talking to you KTM), with sluggish accelerator controls and jerky steering it is pretty much impossible to stay off the walls. The assists do offer some help, but at the cost of speed and control - you become a passenger who holds your foot to the floor and turns the wheel, even on lower assist levels. This results in poor times since you are not controlling the speed anymore.
The challenge model is excellent, with competition always available, and from a worldwide pool of competitors. But the driving is only so so, and that makes it frustrating as well.
Great job on the idea and execution of the racing, please work on the handing to make it more accessible.
