Synopsis
Tour de France 2013: 100 Edition is a video game developed by Cyanide, the creators of Pro Cycling Manager, and published by Focus Home Interactive.
The game is based on the 2013 Tour de France, which is the 100th edition of the race.
Like the earlier game, it's be possible to play online and like the real Tour de France, the final stage takes place during dusk.


Gameplay
There are more than 20 stages of the race to compete each with its own distinct feel and atmosphere to it. The racing is obviously the main element and they do this very well. There is a lot of strategy involved in this game which is what makes it really good, you need to maintain all your gear and food as this really has a big impact on your game so you need to make sure you think about it if you want to do well. Teamwork is big factor in this game and you need to learn when to exert yourself and when to let your character take a break. It takes quite a bit of though and patience. Each chapter takes around 20mins+ to complete and there is a really good amount of content in this game. You have to keep in mind lots of different factors if you want to succeed in this game, the gameplay here is really good.



Multiplayer
This game has the ability to play chapters on multiplayer, you can race against your friends in different sections of the real race, there is like the single player a lot of factors to consider. The multiplayer is very good in terms of having a good laugh with your mates but it really isn't any different from the single player. It would have been nice to see them add in some more game modes just to jazz it up a little bit but the multiplayer is decent anyway.


Graphics
The graphics on this game are excellent the different portion of the race have their own distinct feel and visual appeal. The character detail and surroundings are really good, the different terrain textures also look very good, there are no rendering issues. I have uploaded screenshots below in the spoilers so please check them out. The lighting and weather are really good and can really help set the tone for different portions of the race. The distance shots are really good and they have done well on the environments (going through little towns with huge mountains off in the distance). The colour scheme is really good and ties everything together nicely. I have put some screenshots below so please look at them.

CONTROLS
The controls on this game are awesome, you will get to grips with them very fast and then you're sorted there are no problems with them. They make really good use of the button layout as you need to use them for different things whilst racing, this is good as you can focus on racing whilst doing other things. There is a few options which you can change in regards to the controls but you don't really need to as they are solid anyway.


Ratings
Gameplay - 9/10
Multiplayer- 7/10
Graphics - 8/10
Controls - 9/10
