Drive for Speed: Simulator 1.30.00

Car enthusiasts love playing driving games where they can try out different scenarios without the need to physically put anything or anyone at risk. There are so many driving simulator games now available on Google PlayStore that it becomes impossible to find a game that can let you test out various driving scenarios and help you experience playing with different cars. The best way to judge a driving simulator game is to take a look at the type of gaming modes available and whether they cover a wide variety of driving scenarios or not. One game that stands out under this criterion is Drive for Speed. The driving simulator has multiple gaming modes that offer great opportunity to drive in different conditions and experience each condition from the comfort of your phone.

Drive for Speed starts with a rapid tutorial that introduces you to the cars and how they can be upgraded as well as the gaming environment in one of the gaming modes. The quick-fire tutorial gives you an introduction to the game, its graphics and its gameplay so that you aren't lost at the start. The tutorial isn't time taking and this is useful as you don't get bored with following the tutorial instructions for too long.

The game's home page shows you the car that you have acquired and will play with. You can buy new cars using in-game currency that is normally gained by finishing missions in the various gaming modes. You can also upgrade your acquired car through the upgrade menu. There are multiple options here to improve the car's power, handling and top speed and this can also be achieved using the in-game currency earned.

The driving simulator's best feature is the variety of gaming modes on offer. There are six total gaming modes namely Arrive, Freeride, Truck, Race, Part and Check. There is also a 'Random' gaming mode that selects one of the six gaming modes randomly to start the game. Each gaming mode has its own gameplay and its own missions and this is useful in trying out different driving environments.

In Arrive, you are required to drive in the city and move to the location with the allotted time. Accidents reduce your points while drifts improve your points. Freeride is where you can learn how to drive around the city for as long as you want. This mode is useful when you want to try out the controls and get comfortable with the car and its handling. Truck is the gaming mode where you can drive a truck around the city and move through the designated roads to reach your parking spot. You would need to buy a truck for the purpose but its fun if you like to drive around trucks as this gaming mode helps you learn the various nuances of driving and handling a truck, 'Race' is the gaming mode where you are required to race against other cars. Each level offers you a particular mission that you need to accomplish in order to move to the next level. The quality of car matters a lot in this gaming mode. Park is the gaming mode where you are taught how to park your car within limited spaces within a set period. It is an interesting experience for sure. Check is the gaming mode where you are required to pass through specific checkpoints within the allotted timeslot. It is similar to racing but the race is against the clock in this gaming mode.

The controls in the game are flexible as you can drive both manual and automatic cars and choose between a steering wheel and a button based direction control. The positioning of the control buttons can also be shifted which is great. The graphics are great and while there aren't driving rules to be followed with no regard for traffic rules in the game but the drift marks on the road are a great touch and make the game more realistic.

Features:

• Seven different and exciting gaming modes
• Realistic graphics with drifting even leaving signs on the road

• Multiple cars and trucks available

Conclusion:
