Project Gotham Racing 4

PGR 4 is a winner!!!

Strengths: Graphics are very smooth... Music selection is tight... The weather effects are very realistic

Weakness: More arcade like than Forza 2 (but hey realism isn't everything)

I just won a wireless racing wheel from MS (go figure... it really WAS a Bill Gates giveaway) and I wanted to try it out. After playing forza 2 and PGR3 I still had a thirst for more. I found a good deal on PGR 4 and was amazed. The graphic presentation during bad weather scenes and at night is just incredible. The detail of the raindrops on the windshield and hydroplaning in the curves will have...

Bizarre Creations has never gotten back to the...

Strengths: Great graphics and sound design Tons of cars Solid arcade racing gameplay

Weakness: Motorcycle controls Load times

In short, this PGR is better than 3, but still not as good as 1 or 2 from the original XBOX days. To those new to PGR, the series looks to perfect arcade racing, by forcing the player to make risk/reward decisions throughout each race. More risk means more Kudos points (the in-game currency as well as a requirement for certain race types); however, pulling off the stunts required to earn Kudos...

Project Gotham Racing 4

Strengths: Graphics, visuals, tracks.

Weakness: N/A

From the look, PGR4 is not so much different from PGR3 but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. PGR4 still offers amazing visuals and smooth graphics, and at the same time adds newer cars, motorcycles and improved controls. There are tons of cars and motorcycles, and multitude of racing courses that you can choose from. Both the career and arcade modes are fun to play. The weather effects are pretty...

Racing - Project Gotham Style

Strengths: Pretty Visuals, Bikes add nice variety

Weakness: Not major changes from previous versions

Fans of previous PGR series will be perfectly at home with this one. While some areas have improved, it is more of the same gameplay which is not a bad thing. Single player career mode is really split nicely with enough room to make mistakes & yet come back in next race to make up for it. Kudos system works well & provides a good level of satisfaction. Visuals in this game are some of the best...

PGR4

Strengths: graphics, gameplay

Weakness: none

Project Gotham Racing 4 continues to be a great racing game in the series. The graphics and gameplay are excellent. There are lots of cars and they have added motorcycles that can be raced. Both the arcade mode and career modes are pretty satisfying as well as the multiplayer component. I really enjoyed this game better than the previous PGR 3.

Project Gotham Racing 4 (XB360)

Strengths: Excellent game play, beautiful graphics

Weakness: Not dramatically different than the previous version.

I was expecting more of the same but was pleasantly surprised by newer cars, better control and handling. The game play was fun and was for sure a great buy.

Good arcade racer, much better than Project Gotham 3

Strengths: Great graphics, has that "Project Gotham Racing Feel" down pat, pretty good soundtrack

Weakness: Not a whole lot new, bikes don't really add a lot to the game, AI racers very tough to beat

This is an interesting upgrade from PGR 4. I've been a big fan of this series since it was on the Dreamcast as Metropolis Street Racer. I liked the Xbox PGRs but Project Gotham 3 felt a bit rushed to me on the 360. It's hard to put my finger on it-- I didn't think 3 had any major flaws, but it just didn't feel right. This game came as a really nice upgrade-- it feels more like the Metropolis...

Gentlemen (& Ladies) Start Your Engines

Strengths: Same great Project Gotham Racing gameplay and graphics. Weather effects and motorcycles are a welcome addition. Fantastic realism. No lame racetracks. Great replay value. Easy to get started.

Weakness: Forza 2 has a greater variety of cars and customization. Takes a lot of time to work yourself up to the top in career mode (but that can be a good thing for some).

I own Forza 2 Motorsport as well and this is the superior of the two in my opinion. It's grittier and you have to love the motorcycles and the wet weather. This game is a must for any motorcycle racing fan looking for some head-to-head action with some cars. Next time around they should add some trucks and SUVs to the mix. In addition, I still don't understand why any game called "Project Gotham...

PGR 4

Strengths: great graphics and gameplay

Weakness: can be hard

PGR 4 is a great game. With the addition of bikes, the game seems to have a fresh feel to it. The graphics are good for a 360 game, and the gameplay is as tight as ever. Overall I would recommend this game to any racing fan.

PGR4

Strengths: Great HD graphcis, weather effects, good sound effects.

Weakness: Motorcycles, so-so soundtrack, same tracks seen in PGR3.

PGR is back in its 4th installment and could very well be the last since Bizarre Creations is longer with Microsoft. Does it live up to PGR3? Not so much. First off all the tracks are pretty much unchanged. They just added weather effects to each of the tracks. Also the menu's have been downgraded and functionality is kind of off also. Not sure what they were thinking with the menu's. Another...
