The Porsche DLC is interesting. While not long, it does offer a few interesting ideas. There are 3 championships, all Porsche focused with new cars. The upgrade tier direction is also different in this DLC. Instead of using the performance ship this time it's based on position the player is ranked in. The championships have various races on existing tracks from the main campaign. Assuming those on the island the Porsche DLC menu takes place on. The player wins a new Porsche and access to the next championship after achieving 1st and only 1st. I assume this is for the sake of padding as well as the upgrade system. It is a cool new direction or idea but feels like padding, new for the sake of it or just a bit weak for the most part. Interesting but not great. The Tracks DLC has a workshop station to put down and has it's own differences so I guess they wanted to make changes and put enough effort into each DLC which I appreciate. It's smaller, it does cut on time, I think it's fine but it doesn't not being up such questions of reasoning still. So if the player gets lucky with 10th, and 2nd they have access to all 3 upgrade stages for that car. I myself starting out got mostly 6th, 3rd, or 2nd. So the rank of points put me in that position on the next track start. That and the upgrades only apply at the end of the championship. Whichis why I see it as padding is having to participate multiple times. Standard, car picked for you and the upgrades applied later. I didn't notice too much difference in the upgrades but part of it wasn't driving as coming back to the game years later getting the definitive edition physicalwhenI had the Porsche edition but didn't use the DL code (and also wasn't sure if it was redeemable anymore). That aside for 3 championships, a few more cars and I think these combined these and other livery car packs it's fair. The new ideas aren't much but fair for a fewhours. About as much as any A1-3 or later campaign equivalent of the campaign. The difficulty I'd day is about C1-3 or D1-3 which as the Porsche are 300 rank range would seem about close enough. The dialogue is fair. The 1st place driver will attempt to prep drivers up to banter of competition and the main one part of the championship organisation staff will have Porsche history and prepping too. It was a bit odd and the trivia, rankings and upgrades screen do a fair enough job. Is this probably a NFS Porsche Unleashed tribute or just they got the Porsche brand with more car licensed either may be true. But for what it is it's fair DLC. Not great, not too long, it's fair for what is offered of more cars, same tracks (that's what the tracks DLC is for) and a 1/5 or 3 more championships. I got the definitive editionfor $25 AUD, the DLCs Porsche or Tracks are cheaper than that and the liveries ones a few dollars. The price doesn't persuade me but I thinkI'dyou can find it cheap go for it. Will the physical edition codes work I don't know. But digitally they are I think around $15 USD but my store says $22.95 AUD (checking my region site prices). So to me I got the physical versionwhenthey only sell digital code physical versions nowadays andavoidthe cart to save money so I'dsayI got a good dealthenghr digital of Porsche or Tracks or Definitive edition prices let alone the stand edition price. Or just when on sale.

I have this game digitally and since there isn't any reviews (at the time of writing) I figured I would give my two cents. I got the Porsche DLC and all that, it's alright but the content is nothing special. The Porsche racing series they have in this game is just a few basic championships where you race a couple Porsche models that are prepared for you and your goal is to win so you can unlock some cars. Pretty basic stuff and it feels like it isn't nearly as deep as the rest of the game, sort of a tacked on extra. As for the game it's just mediocre at best. The driving physics are somewhat arcadey but you can tell how they tried to give it a somewhat realistic feel, it doesn't really work but you can tell how those were the intentions. I always kind of struggled to really get a feel for any of my cars in the game and they never seemed to respond accurately, as if there is some input lag that gets in the way. What really brings this game down though is the racing. I actually preferred playing the original game because it seemed to play it's strengths better through quick sprint races. In this one however you are mostly doing circuits, and they are pretty basic looking and due to the extended length of the tracks you really notice the shortcomings. Primarily the lack of difficulty options and the crazy bad rubber-band AI that you need to content with as a result. Pretty much the entire race is you trying to keep up, with the last half of the final lap being the only time when you can really pass everyone and then it can feel like the AI is simply giving up but it can also be too little too late. Overall this is a game that I never really want to play because there are far better racing games out on the Switch now. The best being Grid Autosport, but sadly that is digital only. For a much better racing experience that you can get physically I would look into some of the motorcycle racing games like MotoGP 19, Monster Energy Supercross 2, and Isle of Man TT. For cars the two rallying games V-Rally 4 and WRC 8 aren't bad and offer a far more enjoyable racing experience than you will find here. I know the Switch is light on racing titles but you can easily do better than this.
