Project CARS 2 Reviews
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.
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.
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.

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.

Some niggling issues mar the experience, but Project Cars 2 is a good title for the franchise
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.
Project Cars 2 is a great racing simulator that excels in every possible way, making it hard to play and almost impossible to master. Every victory will feel like winning a championship in real life. The only downside is that using a controller is almost impossible to play, you really need to play with a racing wheel.

Project CARS 2 offers an incredible drive in spite of technical issues and broken AI.
At its core, Project CARS 2 is a racing simulator -- not an arcade street race. You'll need to buckle in, but the reward is worth it.
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.
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.
Project Cars 2 is a perfect sequel. It fixes every flaw of the predecessor, has much more content and doesn't do anything wrong. Some things are just a little bit worse that the rest, but they are definitely not bad.

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 is a dream come true for motorsport fans, but first they'll have to rid it of some bugs for it become a racing classic.
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.
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 game that doesn't manage to capitalise on a lot of the enthusiasm that was generated for the original. Too buggy and not as accessible for newcomers as it should be, a lot of the genuine improvements are lost behind a veil of annoyance and frustration. Hopefully Slightly Mad Studios stick with it, because the wider range of racing disciplines, the refined career, and the improvements to LiveTrack and weather are all fantastic and deserve a better, more polished product to bring them to as many people as possible.
