Absolute Drift has that borderline feeling between trying to be arcade and trying to be sim, and doing neither well. The camera angle says arcade, the fine control of steering says sim, the overall physics say they don't know what they are - and I don't know either. With the minimalist single-angle isometric style, they should have gone towards a challenging arcade experience, instead I got a frustrating blend of sim/arcade controls that is derived from what feels like a lightly modified UnityCar 2.0 asset package, which uses Pacejka curves and isn't great for drifting without code voodoo. The game still has potential to be fun, perhaps alternate camera angles providing a better perspective of what is going on would bring out the game's arcade/sim mixture better and make the controls more enjoyable. As it stands, it's a decent DnB playlist with a car game on top.Show moreShow less
Tokyo Drift? Initial D? VDrift? If anything of this appeals to you, this might too. In any case, this game's remarkable. It's challenging, exciting and unforgiving. But let me tell you, it's just as satisfying once you get a feel for it. You start out in a minimalistic world, sitting in the infamous Toyota Trueno AE86. Your destiny? Drift. A brief tutorial follows, which will probably result in you crashing into walls a lot, but that's fine, as nothing else really is needed to understand how this game works! The game then releases you into a free-roaming environment with a few missions you have to do to unlock more stages. You can then also select stages, cars and tracks once in Free-roam mode, a bit like in NFS or other racing titles. As you get more familiar with the controls, the stages get more exciting and challenging/longer. They also come in several formats: Lap-based drift-tracks, Driftkhana, which is a highscore time-attack inside an arena, or mountain sprint tracks. The goal is always the same, drift gracefully, score points, interact with objects such as poles to drift past or boxes to shatter, add that up to the final score and remain away from hitting walls or losing your combo. Sounds easier than it is, trust me, the Japanese themed tracks and names will kick into your curb at first. That said, car handling is the key, each car has their own way of handling, so finding what suits you most will be the way to go. Ontop of that, drifting's the deal, so going fast won't always be the key to success either. Manual or automatic shifting? How high should be the turning sensitivity? Well, all these factors will help you optimize your driving style, making it possible to reach up to be the drift king. I personally had, and will have a blast with this title in the future. It's been a while since I found an appealing drifting/racing experience and I can safely say this game has done it right. Now go... Go... and be the next Drift-King.Show moreShow less
I just can't get the hang of it. And is definitely rage inducing. I don't recommend this. Honestly was not worth my time.Show moreShow less
FULL VIDEO REVIEW http://youtu.be/RhidXaDyZ6E PROS ++ Great aesthetic with superb use of minimalistic design and an awesome sound track + Drifting feels realistic and responsive, helped by the inclusion of both manual and automatic modes +Free Roam and tutorials teach you everything you need to know in order to work towards mastering the game CONS --No ghosts for event mode, something I consider absolutely essential in any game focusing on trials -Will be very difficult for those unfamiliar to the realistic racing genre way of drifting -No multiplayer, nor is there likely to be multiplayer Absolute drift may not be for everyone, but those looking for a realistic drifting racer experience will enjoy this game immensely. All three modes in the game, Drift, Driftkhana, and Free-Roam teach you the skills required for drifting in addition to providing dozens of hours of replayability for those attempting to get the best scores possible. The game is incredibly challenging, and posting top scores to the leaderboards for the event mode levels will be reserved for only the best of the best as the skill ceiling for the game is incredible high.Show moreShow less
I think it is a cool concept. However i feel its a bit repetetive, i have not completed the game but from what i have played so far it was all the same, with different levels. You basically drive around looking for the events and, its the same over and over again, where you have to drift under or around something. If you want a chill game, this is the game for you. If you want something challenging and entertaining go somewhere else.Show moreShow less
Deja Vu I've just played this game beforeShow moreShow less
1 Year Later Follow Up Review: I returned to Absolute Drift to see if my feelings were the same. I honestly could not remember why I had even bothered to write a negative review about Absolute Drift let alone why I didn't like it. I mean it looks pretty, it's a car game, and it is about drifting. Seems straight forward in what to expect. 10 minutes later and it all comes back to me. The controls for drifting here are still too wonky for my taste. I could easily go back and re-learn the drift mechanics for AD - which feels like a slightly altered ice drift mechanic - but it just isn't worth my time. Yes the game is pretty and yes it is meant to be a casual downtime drifting game; it just isn't fun enough to recommend spending cash and time to learn a unique drifting mechanic. ~Origanal~ Before we begin, let me first clarify my play time. At most I could say I got about 15 minutes of amusement before I became dreadfully bored. In the end, I was obsessed with completing a perfect game. Additionally my desire for achievement hunting came only after a 3hr idle for cards. **EDIT** Just happened to notice that I no longer have a perfect game thanks to an update... Luckily enough time has passed that I feel no urge what so ever to return and reclaim my perfect game. Further proof this game as little to offer. And before you post - Yes! I am a little salty because they stole my perfect game >.< **END EDIT** I'll condense the rest of my review to just the cons as you can read positive review for the pros. Problems: Aside from the repetitive "challenges" the game has no real focus other than drifting and comparing you score to other players. I guess that wouldn't be such a bad thing, especially if that is all you want, but for me I like interactive game play that goes further than a global score board. Lastly I want to say that I am not a fan of the drift mechanics. Now I am not saying I am any form of an expert on how drifting truly works, but I can state that for some reason I didn't find the drifting in this game fun. They're O.K. - just not for me. It felt like I had to learn a whole new set of drifting rules for a game I am never going to play again. Provisos: I would change my recommendation for the following type of gamer/situation; Perfectionist - Achievements were easy to get. (EDIT: Recent change/update stole my Completion) HUGE fan of any form of drifting - Drifting is in the title after all. Fan of Indie Games - For an indie game, it is not that bad. Massive sale - Anything $3 or under.Show moreShow less
