Off road racing is exactly as you’d expect too – long lairy drifts through the dirt, big air from the lumps and bumps and close, fender to fender racing as you try to bully your way to the front.

Thankfully though the racing is as fast and frantic as you’d expect a blur of drifted corners, nitrous filled straights and head on collisions with oncoming traffic as I tried to fight my way to first place. It’s a fantastic way to see whether you will like the game, and for free, what have you got to lose? Having played and reported on the trial in an earlier article, the full game awaited, and I dived right on in.

It is limited, in that it will only allow you to play a certain amount of the story, and only allows you to play the race and off road events. For those of you wishing to try before you buy, EA Access is offering a 10 hour trial for free to members of the program.
