    PROS: Realistic. Features all licensed drivers and tracks. Play as driver and engineer. Play against friends and via LAN.

  5. PROS: Lets you work together with other players against an array of enemies. Build your own farm by growing plants and breeding animals. Play mini games such as hide & seek and death match. Large areas for exploration and good customisation tools.
    CONS: Too similar to Minecraft - most players would prefer just to play that. Screen can easily become cluttered and visually unpleasant. Saving what you build requires 'renting' a patch of land. Clunky save system; you frequently have to exit the world and re-load it.
