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 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 builds on its predecessor with improved handling and impressive scope, but it still suffers from unruly AI and a slew of bugs.

When it comes to racing games, you'll be hard-pressed to find another game that matches the level of detail and realism in Project Cars 2. For simulated-racing enthusiasts, PC2 is the new gold standard.

If you're a fan of racing, more importantly simulators, Project Cars 2 is the game for you. Sure, there's the Forza's and Gran Turismos but Project Cars 2 seems more grounded in ‘our' world with its realistic controls and amazing choice for the player in both cars, tracks and events.

I found a great deal of enjoyment with Project Cars 2. The graphics and sound especially won me over. And whilst the struggles, trials, and tribulations of such a demanding simulator may have left me shaking with rage, the sheer exhilaration I felt after hitting a series of apexes so perfectly, culminating in a podium finish, was sweet recompense.

With Project CARS 2, Slightly Mad Studios did not aim to simply improve what its predecessor had achieved. Even with some performance issues, the huge amount of tracks and cars, great physics system and a gorgeous sound design make Project CARS 2 the best and most complete racing game ever made.

Slightly Mad Studios seems to have aspirations towards this being the next big thing in e-sports racing, and while they've got the foundation to do that, key elements of the game will need to be addressed. In a genre starving for fresh blood, Project Cars 2 is a welcome addition, but also a currently incomplete one..

Project Cars 2 has the potential to be one of the best racing simulators, thanks to the wonderful tracks, variety, and awesome vehicles, but AI flaws and a plethora of strange technical issues prevent it from being a consistently great experience.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Although Project CARS 2 is a driving simulator, you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy it, and that’s the main goal of the game. Despite some minor technical and AI problems, Project CARS 2’s huge set of options and a vast collection of cars easily make it one the best racing games available on the market.

Project CARS 2 is a great sequel to a strong but flawed first instalment. This time around, the flaws are far fewer, the racing is first class, and there's not much that Slightly Mad Studios hasn't addressed. Whether you're a sim aficionado or novice, Project CARS 2 is a racing game you need.
