Reiza Game Stock Car Extreme Review by Empty Box

Empty Box has uploaded a review video of the latest version of Game Stock Car Extreme by Reiza Studios.

In this video, Empty Box shares his experiences while driving a selection of the vehicles available in GSCE V1.25. In his own words, the title is not “outright exceptional”, but is a very solid simulation that delivers what it promises. It’s pretty freakin’ good fun.

If you want to try out GSCE for yourself you can download a (V1.21) Demo at this link.

GAME STOCK CAR EXTREME allows for a 60-minute free trial period. Once the trial period is over the player will be prompted to buy a Serial Number to activate the game and continue playing. A free 30-day demo version is also available (GSC LITE)

Empty Box has listed his personal Pro and Cons.

Pro :

• Great physics across the board with no “wtf this thing is junk” vehicles.
• Forgiving but difficult. My gut feeling : this is what a racing sim should drive like because this is how a car drives.
• Stock Cars are awesome.
• Fantastic circuits, most of which aren’t the common “you’ve driven a billion laps here already” variety.
• Sounds.
• Car selection (see below though)
• Looks good (to me)
• AI on proper settings provides a challenging race which makes me push as hard as I would in an online race and doesn’t suffer from the “go way slow in that corner” syndrome.
• Modability and tons of add-on tracks available, several updated to a higher standard to bring them closer to Reiza’s quality versus the standard rFactor conversion.
• Fantastic in the here and now.

Con :

• No weather (though that is still somewhat of a luxury feature in sim racing, let alone a GOOD weather system)
• Visuals aren’t for everyone
• No one outside South America has ever heard of Brazilian Stock Car racing…
• Car selection is too biased towards F1 style cars.
• Track selection doesn’t really support F1 cars
• online is pretty much dead outside the club or league setting (though mind you, public servers are almost always messes anyways)
• AI like all AI is dumb on lap 1.
• No automatic steering rotation setting.
• Aging platform means it almost certainly has limited space for improvement though it doesn’t necessarily need it right now.
