Project Cars 2 is one of the most ambitious racing games ever, and a improvement of the first one in every way.

Project Cars 2 is the definition of what a sequel should be, taking everything great from the original game, bringing it back, and introducing new and interesting features.
Project Cars 2 is darn near mesmerizing to look at, it's so pretty.
Project CARS 2 really does feel like Project CARS version 2.0 with virtually all aspects of the title having been polished and improved.
Project CARS 2 is one hell of a colossal mammoth of a game. The scope of the driving series available, the car and track selection from classic to the modern era, the weather, the brilliant online championship mode, it's all there, ready-in-waiting. Whether you play it for the single player or for the multiplayer, this game has everything.
Project CARS 2 gives you loads to do and the incentive to experiment with all of its content, too. The title manages to tie together a dizzying number of vehicular disciplines, and it's a lot of fun flitting from one to the next. A tight handling model and the freedom to explore all of the release's content freely means that you'll lose a lot of time to this motorsport marvel, but presentation shortcomings do take the polish off this package the teensiest bit.
Is it a great game? Likely the best racing sim around. Does it need to open itself up to those less skilled? Yes.
With all of the trailers, experts, and attention to detail, I expected Project Cars 2 to take the trophy as racing sim of the year. It is definitely not. What you DO get is a game that challenges you to a frustrating degree and does so with beautiful precision. It sadly also takes a bunch of the fun out of it too.
Project Cars 2 comes with strength this year as the best simulator developed by Slightly Mad Studios, reinforced with a surprising physics system and also including a new online competition mode and accompanied by the debut of Rally Cross. A jewel you can't miss.

Nine at a prank: Project Cars 2 makes simulation fans of almost all motor sport classes happy. Only the brittle career is a little bit disrupting.

Project Cars 2 delivers an outstanding racing experience, unfortunately, once the honeymoon period wears off, the by the numbers career mode does little to captivate in the long run, and the numerous bugs and inconsistent presentation and AI hamper an otherwise fantastic game.
Project Cars 2 returns to the track and continues to double down on providing a more realistic sim racing experience. Admittedly, it's not going to be for everyone so folks who prefer a more arcade-style or open-world driving experience should look elsewhere. It also suffers from a few technical hiccups but not enough to mar the overall racing experience. If you value racing that's closer to real-world driving and don't mind working a bit harder for every inch on the track, this game is for you.
Project CARS 2 offers an incredible drive in spite of technical issues and broken AI.
Controller support has vastly improved compared to the first game, with configuration options and game assists available to tailor your experience. I still get the feeling while playing that due to the realistic handling of the cars, the game is better suited to a wheel and pedal setup.
Project CARS 2 is a rich and varied toybox for hardcore racing fans that have the patience to appreciate what it brings to the table. But the unpolished feel harms things greatly even for people in that camp.
Project Cars 2 makes a passionate play for the enthusiast end of the racing sim market. A wheel is damn near mandatory, but the gameplay rewards are huge – when spotty AI and bugs aren't confounding things, that is.
Project Cars 2 may do a great many things exceptionally well, but it's hard to look past the mountain of gaffes that quickly pile up on and off the track. Racing, after all, is about results, not potential.
A pretty good simulation game. The thing is that you need a proper wheel to play it in the right way. Using a conventional controller is not an option.

Project Cars 2 is not perfect, but it proposes a very complete racing game, generous and customizable on a large number of parameters. If you decide to invest in Project Cars 2, know that you put your feet in a universe that will require hours of effort but also proportional pleasure.

Speaking as someone who has never been heavily invested in racing games, Project CARS 2 blew me away. It won't hold your hand and it isn't afraid to challenge you, but it will reward your hard-earned success.
