Project Gotham Racing 4

Some racing games are a little too sim for me, like Gran Turismo and Forza. I don't care about adjusting gear ratios.

Some racing games are a little too arcade for me, like Burnout.

Some racing games just aren't my style, like the NFS street racing games of the last few years. I don't want to lower my car and get a huge wing on my Eclipse.

I still enjoy those racing games, but for me, PGR 4 (and PGR 3) is a perfect combination of simulation and arcade racing. The feel is "sim" enough to require a lot of practice to get really good, but forgiving enough to be fun from the start. The graphics are fantastic, the online play is great, and even the music is diverse and entertaining.

Also, You can drive amazing cars from the beginning, unlike GT, Forza, and NFS. I don't like being stuck with a Mazda Miata for the first few days. I see a lot of Miata's in real life. This is a videogame. I want to drive a Ferrari.

I got this from Gamefly on Saturday, and I've been playing it all weekend. This is definately the most beautiful racing game I've ever seen, and really shows what the 360 is capable of.

The racing is solid, the sounds are great, and the cockpit view is as immersive as it gets. I'm a big Forza fan, and the differences in the driving is clear after your first powerslide, but Gotham does a good job of accenting some of your favorite things about cars and driving without going over the top, and leaving you with a believable and visually appealing experience. The driving in Forza is still more rewarding, as far as the cars go. But the BIKES!! I ride an SV 650 myself, and I've been waiting for a serious motorcycle racing game. The motoGP series is decent, but its lacking a lot in excitement. Gotham integrates the motorcycles into the races almost perfectly. Their performance is balanced, and shows strengths and weaknesses everywhere they should, except for the...Read more

pgr 4 is a game i rented to see how i liked it and was addicted after the first race. i love this game and will never give it up, unless they come out with a new one of course, online play is easy to do, the game is so realistic, the driving in the game is so realistic. the only minor draw back is extra content ie cars and extra tracks have to be purchased through microsoft, however the game has more than enough cars and tracks for you to race on. the graphics are killer, to top it all off you can ride a bike aswell, some of the fastest street bikes on earth. great game!! i am hard to pleaase when it comes to games, if they suck i get rid of them fast.
