Having thoroughly enjoyed both PGR2 and PGR3, I was eager to get my copy of the newest installment. And I do not regret it one bit. This game has become one of my all-time favourite games in such a short space of time.
Firstly, the positives, and where to start. The graphics on the game are spectacular. One of the things that has always drawn me to the PGR series is the graphics and the amazing street environments you race through. The cities are so accurately depicted and you can really tell how much work the creators have put into them. I can attest to the accuracy of the London environment, and I have friends who live/have lived in some of the other cities who can say the same for theirs! All of the cities from PGR3 have returned as well as some interesting new ones such as Macau, Quebec and Shanghai and others (the Nurburgring is here as always). Each city has its own unique street style providing great variety.
The weather effects are a very good point as well, having improved on the physics from previous games. The new rain and ice effects feel very authentic. The location of puddles at certain corners really forces you to rethink your driving line. The driving physics in this game are as good as ever. You have a real sensation of speed when driving down narrow streets at top speeds.
They have altered the car lineup from PGR3 to give a broader range of car performances rather than purely focusing on supercars (this was a weakness of PGR3 imo). This brings it closer to the good old days of PGR2 where you start off in the small slow cars and work your way up. Whilst the starting cars aren't quite as slow as the mini coopers of PGR2, it's a nice compromise between the 2nd and 3rd game. The range of cars is great though.... Read more ›

As a huge fan of the original incarnation of Project Gotham (Metropolis Street Racer on the old Sega Dreamcast), I found the first Project Gotham on the Xbox a huge step up in difficulty, and a huge step down in fun. About halfway through the game, no matter how hard i tried, I just couldn't seem to be able to get any further! Probably my lack of skill as a gamer. As such, I was a bit weary about getting Project Gotham 4 for the 360. Needless to say, Those doubts were blow away within minutes of playing it.
The introduction of bikes add a whole new dymanic to the game. They're great! Many times I've taken outside lines around corners on a bike, to leave a Ferrari F40 for dust inside me, or weaved in and out of slower moving cars to zoom from the back of the field to the front. As someone with a keen interest in learning to ride bikes, it gives me the great opportunity to try out some of the best bikes in the world in a realatively realistic simulator.
The introduction of bikes also gives you the chance of completing every challenge in the arcade mode in both a car and a bike, and to see which one you're better with, and if there really is that much of a gap between cars and bikes.
While I've never had the chance to drive any of the cars in the game, especially not the powerful RWD class A cars, the driving seems relatively realistic. The difference in handling between each car is quite apparent, and their personality really shines through, making the game great for multiplayer. Picking something like the MacLaren F1 to race against say a CBR600 isn't automatically a win for the F1! It takes time and effort to learn to drive and ride each of the vehicles.
On the whole, I really like this game.... Read more ›

The type of games that I play are FPS like Rainbow Six, Halo 3 and Gears of War etc and I'm normally not into driving games but bought this on a whim and I'm completely hooked on it. I love it. You earn Kudos points really quickly enabling you to buy new cars, tracks etc. There's lots of different game modes to play on. Once I've become a bit better then i'm gonna try it on Xbox Live (add me to your friends list "mikebashbauer") Overall its a great game and would recommend it to anyone who likes the driving genre or those have not tried it before like me.

Excellent racing sim, great cars, great tracks, great fun, well worth it. Can be made even better by downloads extras off 'live'. Graphics are fab. Fast pace & entense racing, fun for everyone from beginners to the experienced gamer, easy to understand controls, easy source of gamerscore points.

Project gotham racing 1 - didn't like the structure of the game and found it too hard too soon
PGR2 - Brilliant single player mode which starts easy and gradually gets harder and look up lots of my time.AND a wicked online game which introduced amongst other things the 'cat and mouse' game which i loved.
PGR3 - not as good as 2 with much fewer cities and a much less good single player mode. Online was Ok but not as good as 2
PGR 4 - Brilliant really brilliant - the single player has a nice calendar structure and the kudos you earn allow you to buy new cars, tracks (i've just unlocked the Nurburing 5 mins ago :) ) and bikes as well as game modes (Not quite sure what bulldog is yet but sounds interesting.)
Like PGR2 this game is addictive and coupled witht he arcade mode will eat into many of my free hours over the coming weeks
I haven't tried the online (no xbox live now) but this game is worth buying for the single player alone
highly recommended
