General comments:



Project Gotham Racing 4 or better known as PGR4 is one of the most intense racing simulations out to date. It is also one of the very few racing games to mix fun with simulation and actually make the concoction work! Project Gotham Racing has come a long way over the past with Bizarre Creations tweaking every aspect of the game to make it perfect. I think they might of just hit the nail right on the head in PGR4 as the new array of cars spanning from "Class G" classics to "Class A" supercars makes the game more diverse than ever. The famous McLaren F1 LM is still in like many of the other high performance supercars, but you haven't seen anything yet as the rarely seen Apollo is up to be thrown around the tracks of PGR, the Apollo like many other rarely seen cars. And as if that isn't enough... Bizarre Creations took those vehicles, threw them to the side and brought in some of the most luxory motorbikes such as Ducati, Kawasaki and many more! Just be cautious though.. These bikes aren't for the feint hearted.

As said before PGR is a racing simulation crossed with fun, this means it has thee cars, thee tracks and now.. Thee bikes. Not only that it has physics better than the last 3 put together and even more. This game truly does stand out amongst the four and if you believe the third was bad, don't be quick to judge the fourth as you can look forward to the following:

Improved physics/graphics
Improved A.I
Improved, inovative Career Mode (Online/Offline)
Improved Multiplayer (Including "TrueSkill" Xbox Live)(Standard 2 player split-screen)
Basic character/car customization (Appearance)
A vast selection of cars/bikes

If you are a PGR fan then this is a must buy, for those who doubt it.. Rent it out and see what you think yourself. I simply wouldn't recommend this game to those who enjoy full simulation racing games or to those who dislike STOCK car racing. All cars in this game are stock and can't be modified apart from in appearance. For everyone else.. ENJOY!

The game is getting on a little in it's age but this review isn't, so it's safe to say that for £15 or $20.. It's a good buy

Graphics: 9 / 10
The game gives off a nice slick feel as you see the beam of lights through the night reflect from your car and as you use that dynamic camera to take a glimpse of the audience to the side of you, it flashes past and hell you notice it. Before you know it you will see your opponents rear lights brighten as they slide through the following hair pin, throwing the smoke from the tires around the corner with them. You will follow watching the apex blaze by. I speak like this to say exactly how it would be in slow motion but I tell you what, you won't get chance to see this as you will be having too much fun tailgating the opponent ahead..

Sound: 7/ 10
The sound of this game is nothing to rave on about as it's really the usual stuff, you can tell it's more ambient and hell.. There is nothing better than boosting the volume to hear revs of your Ferrari FXX now is there? Then you wonder why it got a "7". Simple, PGR is renown for having a decent playlist and PGR4 is no exception, you will probably boost the sound simply for the music.. Who knows?

Controls: 10 / 10
A ten year old could get the hang of these controls and probably play this game with ease, the controls.. Are brilliant.

Gameplay: 9 / 10
