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.
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.
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 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.

In the end, Project CARS 2 takes everything that Slightly Mad Studios did for the original game, polishes it up and puts out perhaps the best racing title available on the PlayStation 4. Tons of cars, more tracks than you can shake a stick at, a full-fledged career mode and online options. Better controls, fantastic visuals, and PlayStation 4 Pro support. Yes, there are some rough areas and the sound isn't as good as I would have liked. Still, in the end, Project CARS 2 is an enjoyable and fantastic effort that I'm sure PlayStation 4 racing fans are going to enjoy.
Project CARS 2 is like a trip to the most beautiful place that becomes more and more tiring. There is no prettier game, and driving along well known circuits with engine noise as background music is great. But all the essence – driving physics, overtaking, dealing with car trouble – is much better in F1 2017. I’m waiting for fixes!

Make no mistake, Project CARS 2 is the most comprehensive and customisable racing simulator on the market right now.
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.
Project Cars 2 final offers a real alternative to console racing fans and brings to the table a fantastic roster of cars and tracks. Combined with an excellent simulation of track and weather conditions Project Cars 2 is pretty much the pinnacle of racing on console.
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 able to evolve the contents of the previews game of the series. Madness Engine can bring new life to the tracks with the Live Track 3 tool, even if with some tracks and some cars there are a few problems. The weather conditions

Despite the Race Director that has it out for the player, and some issues with perspective in cockpit view, Project CARS 2 is one of those games that can fill an entire niche on its own.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent mechanics, lots of options, stunning visuals, top-flight sound design and a emphasis on accessibility make Project Cars 2 a worthwhile sequel that will appeal to anyone who loves cars and isn't afraid of a challenge.
Ben received a digital copy of Project CARS 2 from Bandai Namco for review.
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 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 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.
