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.

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 full-fledged racing simulator, a very rare guest on the consoles. The game turned out to be the most hardcore in comparison with the newest Forza and GT. It can even be called "Dark Souls from the world of racing games".

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.

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.

Overall an amazing game, Project Cars 2 incorporates almost everything a sim racer could ask for, aside from the lack of car customization which is its Achilles heel.

This is a game for enthusiasts and the complexity and scope of tinkering, combined with the need for a racing wheel, only emphasises this point. Project CARS 2 does a lot of things right, and it's easy to fall for the stunning visuals and customisation, but there are some very serious problems to address.

Slightly Mad Studios did their best to please car racing enthusiasts, and they delivered.

Project CARS 2 takes the foundations of its father and builds upon them, improving all aspects, but some areas have received more upgrades than others.

Project Cars 2 is the ideal choice for those die hard fans of simulation racings out there. Gameplay now is much more smoother with controller than its predecessor and game's dynamic weather system is a striking visual experience. AI can get frustrating at times but the overall experience truly pleases the fans. Project Cars might still be slipstreaming its rivals but it's fast enough to catch them one day.

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...

A proficient sim-racer that brings a lot to the table - both in content and playability. Would have been great to see the base Xbox One version maybe lose a bit of the graphical sparkle in exchange for a 60 FPS lock, but that's more commentary of the power of the Xbox, rather than the game.

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.

Project CARS 2 won't please all racing game fans, but it'll delight those who crave realism and a challenge; those who want to push themselves to be better. Is that you?

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.

PC2 tried to fix the old problems and It's successfully competing with new games. But they still have a lot to do to reach perfection. There are still some minor and major bugs and some problems with the physics of the game. PC2 is still a terrific game made by a group of talented developers. Surely the next game will be even better as the developers keep getting more experienced.

Project CARS 2 demands some serious time investment, for better or worse. The handling takes some getting used to, but the amount of cars, tracks, and variables makes it a worthwhile title for those looking to get some racing action in.

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.

Project Cars 2 is an exquisite racing simulator that makes learning the game almost as much fun as winning a race. It demands perfection, refuses to ease up, and still manages to be friendly enough for newcomers.

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.
