Project CARS 2 Reviews
Figuring out how to drive properly is all a part of the simulation, but it ends up feeling more tedious than anything. It might satisfy someone looking for a deeper challenge and added realism within the genre, but newcomers and less hardcore fans are better off sticking with Gran Turismo or Forza.
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.
Project CARS 2 offers an incredible drive in spite of technical issues and broken AI.
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 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.
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 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.
This is a game made by fans for fans, and while it's not perfect, it's unique, and a hell of a lot of fun.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Make no mistake, Project CARS 2 is the most comprehensive and customisable racing simulator on the market right now.
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!

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.
Some niggling issues mar the experience, but Project Cars 2 is a good title for the franchise
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?
Slightly Mad Studios did their best to please car racing enthusiasts, and they delivered.
