PGR4 is a good game, but there are a few things holding it back from being a great one. [+] Excellent graphics Great sense of speed Kudos system makes every turn count in some fashion Motorcycles are fun and easy to control Easy to pick up and play Works great with xbox steering wheel Good customization [-] Not nearly as many vehicle options as in Forza 2 Motorcycles can make the game almost too easy For an arcade style sim, cars still tend to spin out of control a lot Overall, I recommend PGR4 only behind Forza 2 as far as the racing experience on the xbox 360 goes. If you're looking for an arcade style, jump in the saddle and play type of racer, you can't go wrong with PGR4, but if you want the answer to Sony's Gran Turismo on your 360, get Forza 2.
A lot of times, racing games can get lost in the mix of the 1000s of other games just like it. However, PGR4 sets itself apart with a little bit different interface and the fact that a sizable portion of the game has been devoted to bikes. This point, however, brings up another quite frustrating point: unless the race that you are in involves only bike opponents you are doomed to lose as the bikes (while quite powerful) just cannot keep up with the plethora of supercars. I like this game, but it's not one of my favorites. It's menu setup is confusing at times, and the whole "picture mode" is pretty much pointless. There are many games, in my opinion, that are better than this, including: all the Midtown Madness games, Burnout Paradise (only), definitely Forza 1 & 2, and Gran Turismo (4 and on). DIRT is also a game I would consider better than this, although DIRT is in a completely different category of racing games. Summary: It's good, worth it if you can find it for less than $15, otherwise spend the money on something relevant to life like...a car wash, or food or something.Read full review
Project Gotham Racing 4 the trilogy was a great arcade and multiplayer experience ever since the first Xbox came out. The carreer is also a great adventure into the life of a real tournament racer and it's older arcade like simulation made it a game that's really hard to get bored of. The weather changes within a race and can instantly change how you react to the game and how the a.i. will react as well. I give this game a 3/5 because the graphics aren't really up to par with the date the game was released and the music can really get annoying. All in all great game for family or for the online pros that rock the virtual internet on xbox live. Thanks for reading, Ray Worden.
It's got a lot to love, although it might be more of the same if you're a previous PGR 3 fan. But the graphics and flair are just undeniable. It's not a sim racer like Forza MS 2 or Gran Turismo 5 Prologue but it's close enough. PGR has a distinct feel to it and that's why you'd buy it. Plus it's got a nice list of manufacturers and vehicles to chose from. If you're looking for a great racer to add to your collection and keep your roster of cars up to date, PGR 4 is your game. Me personally, I think it's great on its own if you had to chose between it and Forza MS 2. There are those who would balk at its arcade feel...that's the whole POINT! Truth be told, when I wanna feel the wind in my hair I'll go for a spin in my REAL car. If I wanna just pick up the controller and play something fun and enjoyable, I'll put Project Gotham Racing 4 on. And it doesn't disappoint.Read full review
Super fun game. If you're a fan of the PGR series, you won't be disappointed. The graphics are unbelievable, game play is realistic (for the most part), and one of my favorite parts of this one is the addition of motorcycles. Many different cities and routes, lots of weather conditions to chose from to keep things interesting. The soundtrack was a little bland for me compared to the extensive one on the last game which included many great songs from "unknown" bands. I can't say much for online play, since I haven't been on it too much, but the downloadable game modes that involve some free roam have been pretty fun. The only thing I don't like about the game so far is that it doesn't have the single player free roam/cone attack like the first game. Either that or I just haven't found it yet. Also, the ability to create your own paint scheme to use on any car is very cool. Overall great game. I'd recommend it.Read full review
