Description: City Car Driving is a realistic driving simulator that will help you to master the basic skills of the car driving in different road conditions, immersing in an environment as close as possible to real. “Smart” traffic that accurately simulates traffic in the current, unpredictable pedestrians and sudden dangerous situations will not let you relax and will maintain the atmosphere of a real traffic situation. Also, full range of weather conditions and times of a day from rain and morning fog to night ice and snow will help to prepare for driving under the most unfavourable conditions.
Using the traffic rules compliance monitoring system and the instructor hints you will fix the knowledge of traffic laws in different countries of the world. The list of these countries will expand in updates. On special autodromes, you will be able to work out different types of exercises, both basic, for instruction in driving, and special, for working out the elements of extreme driving and counter accident training.
Review: If you go into ‘City Car Driving’ expecting some open-world GTA type game or a serious racing game like Gran Turismo you will be bitterly disappointed. This is a driving game for people who are just starting to learn how to drive and with a good steering wheel and VR headset, there is no reason why this game won’t improve your chances of passing your real-world driving test. But for those of us who do know how to drive this game is going to appear a little boring. Sure, it looks OK and there are plenty of missions to pass, but at £20.51 I do think you are better off waiting for a sale price. Its good for driving and enjoying the scenery, just don’t expect speed, nor a challenge.
