-The computer version has a couple bonuses over the consoles: computers get a track editor and an actual drone transmitter can be used to play the game.

-This is a rather short video as I couldn't find much variety to show. The races, at least in the beginning, are quite short so I run some a few times. From what I could gather you have to select Play Now first and do well enough to open a track in Time Attack mode and then open up Free Flight for each track. Arcade controls are about all I could handle and there really isn't much to see at the end of the video when I enter Free Flight (just messing around).

-On the opening screen menu there are Calendar and Tutorial options but those aren't viewed in the game. When selected they open up a web browser and load the Drone Champions League website. At this time I do not have a Xbox Live subscription and as you can see in the video when the game loads it pops up the subscribe now screen so although you can play the game offline, it does appear to be geared for online competition.
