Физика на высшем уровне и на много превосходит GT6. Графика для консоли сойдёт, но не будет забывать что это симулятор. От шифта(nfs shift) в игре ничего нет, не слушайте не доброжелателей. К минусам можно отнести разве что количество машин и не совсем удобное управление на джойстике, но и игра сделана под руль. В общем как и сказала в начале, игра мне понравилась, если вы скучаете по онлайн покатушкам GT5 и GT6, то игру стоит брать не думая ;) Expand

Unlike Forza & Gran Turismo which were easier to adapt to I found I needed a good 4 hours to understand the mechanics of the cars. The graphics are fantastic with very few issues & the weather system is the best on any racing game I have come across. The AI are also very good in comparison to other racing games of the Genre.

Career mode offers a wide range of racing categories from which you can choose with Invitational's which give you chance to drive different cars as you go through. The button configuration is brilliant with plenty of options to choose from to make the controller as comfortable as you need.

There is a wide variety of cars to choose from & also a large number of tracks, a lot of which I have never come across in a racing game before.

Project cars is a brilliant Next Gen game & sets the bar for future racing games of its Genre. There is & will always be room for improvement but this is a large step in the right direction.

Anyone giving this game 0 is an idiot, but anyone giving 10 is turning a blind eye to its' many faults and missed opportunities.

The driving simulation is possibly the best of any racer I've played. For the sheer weight and feel of a car it beats GT by a long way. On this aspect alone the game would score an easy 10. The driving is tricky and requires skill and patience, with each car handling very differently. This is not a game for the casual arcade racer.

Unfortunately the game fails in all other areas. I found the career mode really dull. There are no rewards or unlocks and the races are really easy, unless you manually adjust the AI to make it more difficult to win. A strange choice. Much as the vaunted "Freedom" may have sounded good, it provides no incentive to progress, and allows rookies to jump straight into the most difficult multiplayer and wreck others races.

It's multiplayer where the game both shines and provides the greatest let down. If you manage to find a "clean" race with a sensible qualification period and lap count, the game is an absolute blast. Unfortunately you'll mostly be playing public games which are like the wild west and filled with trolls. While this is no fault of Slightly Mad Studios, they have provided no features in Multiplayer to punish bad players. When you're punted off the track or rear ended by a troll, it's most often you that will be punished for corner cutting. The lack of penalties for trolls can be rage inducing.

Add to this the lack of cars (almost no Japanese cars is very disappointing), slow menu loading (with no egg timer to show that anything is happening) MP joining bugs and crashes (5 or so in a week) a potentially awesome game ends as just ok. A missed opportunity.

There is one thing you will definetly not find within this game: fun.

The tracks look and are boring, the cars and graphics are ok.

I knew beforehand that this a hardcore simulation but the car controls are just torture. Imagine turning off every ABS, traction control etc in another racing game so that the cars are difficult to control. Now Imagine you still can't control them often enough with all helping system on. Welcome to Project cars.

Having no progression in career mode is just wrong and no fun at all.

I tried playing online and I found not a single race where guys drove automatic. And way too many **** kart races.
Why is there no option or any people willing to go for a quick ride? Hell you can do that in every racing game... no you wait for eternity to just get wrecked in a manual race with **** cars (karts)

I know those complaints can be summed down to I can play that game but I never had a problem with any racing games ever... so think there is something wrong here.

I can not recommend this to anyone except you own a steering wheel and had fun playing Dark Souls with a drum from guitar hero or something like that.

I seldom buy games and regret it but this one I did for sure.
