Slightly Mad Studios offers the best realistic simulation game for cars in this generation, with a fully customizable game style and amazing sound effects. This game will be a favorite for racing gamers, but if you are an amateur and not a professional racing gamer you can play it too but you should be warned that the game is designed for professionals, so you'll need some time to practice it perfectly, and when you do, you'll get a lot of fun.

Project Cars 2 is by far the most realistic racing simulator on the market but it still doesn't make itself accessible for newcomers and casual players. It also fights with a terrible enemy AI and some questionable choices in the career mode. Besides that Racing Game Fans will get a solid sequel to the already convincing Project Cars.

All in all, Project Cars 2 is simply excellent. Yes, it has issues, some of which are glaring, and some that most people will never notice. But when weighing up the problems versus the advantages, it’s hard to hold back my excitement.

As expected, Project Cars 2 is an excellent racing game, continuing its legacy of appealing to hardcore or simple racers. Full of love for the motorsport, Slightly Mad Studios added so much content that you probably won't get bored for a long time, yet still has its flaws when it comes to AI and illogical collision system, which hopefully will be fixed with future patches.

This game seems to be perfect in my eyes regarding gameplay, audio and graphically. If I was forced to say anything negative about this game then I would say it's not for the casual racer. Not even slightly. The casual racer would probably play for an hour, stand up and announce the game is broken and it sucks. I say move out the way Nancy and let me play this game while you play your arcade racer. I can't stress enough how good I found this game and there have already been a lot of great racers out this year. With only one other major racing release this year to come which I mentioned earlier. Buy this game if you don't already own it. If you do own it I will probably see you on the track for a long time to come.

Project Cars 2 is indeed a quality racer, one well worth the time of anyone looking for an ultra-realistic experience. Those coming in as casual racers may find the controls a little harsh, but the general nature of racing a high-performance car is certainly put into perspective, and that should be praised in any game looking to give a simulation experience.

Slightly Mad Studios, the genius team behind titles like Shift 2 Unleashed, Need for Speed, and Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends is back after the success of 2015's overwhelmingly excellent Project CARS racing simulator. In the follow-up, Project CARS 2, Slightly Mad Studios is back at it, bringing full-on racing simulation to the masses on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but how does it fare when compared to its predecessor? While it is an enjoyable and a must-buy for newcomers to the ultra-realistic driving simulator genre but may feel a bit stale to racing sim veterans.

Once again Slightly Mad Studios bridges the gap between sim and arcade racing to deliver a package that is deep and incredibly approachable to newcomers.

Project CARS 2 is a worthy successor and equally impressive contender for the 2017 racing title, given its stiff competition, Slightly Mad Studios can raise a glass and give themselves a pat on the back for a job, mostly, well done.

When it all clicks, it is quite brilliant. When it all clicks that is, otherwise you're left with a game that's not quite going to win first place compared to the likes of Forza. Normally I try not to compare these things, but if you asked me to choose at the moment, even with the loot boxes - I'd say Forza 7 wins there in terms of delivering a better experience and racer out of the gate.

Driving a Formula Rookie car around the mid-tier track, watched by sparse but passionate crowds standing in a corrugated shed-style stand adorned with advertisements for local businesses has a charm that no other game currently possesses...

An excellent racing game, tending to be a bit heavy on the simulation side. You can craft your own experience which, you’ll be forced to, but it is enjoyable for racing fans.

Project Cars 2 is a fine racing simulator with many different motorsport disciplines. It offers little new over the first Project Cars, but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, right?

Project Cars 2 is patchy, partly good and partly bad! As a racing simulator, the game is an acceptable piece of work; yet, it suffers from several issues and comparing to other racing games, it has nothing to offer.

Project Cars 2 notably improves upon its predecessor. Racing, weather and graphics are all greatly improved. But if you prefer arcade racers like Need for Speed, try looking elsewhere.

Beautiful racing simulation. Perhaps the most beautiful I have ever tried. Its wide variety of vehicles and tracks makes project cars 2 a game that is hardly boring. The well-defined audio and the cured graphic details make the game even more exciting.

Project CARS 2 have a very realistic gameplay which offers a quite a challenge for players. While racing you can feel the power of weather and how a simple rain drop could change the whole race and game strategy. The career mode offers a variety of environments and vehicles which is very well presented in Manufacturer drivers and Invitational Events.
