In our last piece about Auto Club Revolution, the PC based, free-to-play racing title from European developer Eutechnyxs, we discussed how it allows the user to play and use most content without having to spend a cent. By now, most know my disdain for free to play games, as they typically require purchases to enjoy the full experience, but this is not so in Auto Club. We talked about the single and multi-player experiences, the ability to buy cars with credit earned from racing, and the community infrastructure that they have created. In part 2 we wanted to take a look at how the cars handle, the type of cars available, and it�s paint booth option. We previously mentioned how no racing game is worth anything, no matter how deep the game is, if they the physics are off.

Thankfully for Auto Club racers, this is not the case. The game offers a wonderful driving model, and although I have never driven a $100,000 vehicle before, I know that an Opel Corsa feels and drives differently than say a Mosler Raptor GTR, and the game achieves this. The game offers over 50 automobiles, and the range from high end race cars to every day street vehicles, and most of them are a lot of fun to race. Auto Club also offers an awful lot of discounts and specials, just in case you are not patient enough to earn the credits to purchase or rent these beasts.

Just because you purchase a car that has a certain look that you may not
care for, Auto Club has you covered. The free-to-play title comes with a full paint booth, that allows you to change the color, add decals, and personalize the car, to make it your own. If can be simple to use, or for those who want to go a little more in depth, Auto Club Revolution gives those at home artist a chance to break out.

Really if you look at the whole picture, there isn�t much that Auto Club Revolution doesn�t offer.

* Over 50 real life cars
* Over 25 real life tracks/designs
* Full paint booth
* Full community
* Ability to race against A.I. or against humans
* Purchase vehicles with earned credits from racing, or e-wallet cash
* Full stat tracking for individuals and auto clubs(assuming you join one)

If you are looking for a ****** racer, with a sim feel to it, you could do much worse than Auto Club Revolution. It truly has something for everyone, and is wallet friendly.
