Assetto Corsa Competizione on Xbox One: A Racing Experience Like No Other

Off the pace, Assetto Corsa Competizione on Xbox One is a unique racing experience that sets itself apart from other games in the genre. Unlike its PC counterpart, which runs at 60 frames per second, the console versions of Competizione run at 30 frames per second, even on the powerful Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro.

Despite this limitation, the game's audio is a huge highlight overall. From the raw mechanical squeaks and shrieks to the wicked exhaust tones, every sound effect is meticulously crafted to create an immersive experience. The bespoke track announcers at each circuit add to the authenticity of the game.

The arsenal of exotic GT3 steeds on hand may be slim compared to other racing games, but they are very distinct from each other in terms of handling characteristics. Players will find a real world of difference between, say, a mid-engine Ferrari and a front-engine Bentley, which is a far cry from its British holiday home counterpart.

However, there are some drawbacks to consider. Custom lobbies aren't available at launch, and the game hasn't let me into a single quick public race yet - it's been greeting me with 'No Servers Available' for days. Multiplayer is supported, but players must reach a high track knowledge and safety rating in-game to enter competitive servers.

Competizione understands this and includes an official selection of some of the world's most respected circuits, along with scores of racing opportunities. Quick championships, long championships, a career mode, and fully-customizable custom events are all available.

Endurance racing is a fantastic challenge that requires long stretches of unbroken focus and rapid reflexes. When players get into a consistent rhythm, there's an almost meditative quality to it.

Overall, Competizione's laser-like focus on a single underrepresented school of virtual racing is quite brilliant. While some fans may regard the contraction in total content between the original Assetto Corsa and Competizione as disappointing, scaling down to a single racing discipline means that the game sheds a lot of surplus rides and racetracks.

In conclusion, Assetto Corsa Competizione on Xbox One is a unique racing experience that offers an immersive audio experience and a range of exciting racing opportunities. While it may have some limitations, it's definitely worth checking out for fans of racing games.
