    What an incredible game.
    Firstly, the gameplay is really cool: you can make it very easy by playing in automatic mode or in nightmare mode by playing in manual.
    Secondly, the sound design is perfect: each car has its own engine sound, which is so realistic ! The graphics are also amazing with motion blur, reflections of the sun on sheet metal, wonderful environment... Thirdly,    What an incredible game.

    Thirdly, customization is just insane ! You can customize your style of driving, the paint on your car, the way the clutch react to your race-style, and even the balance between brakes in the front and in the back of the car ! In Quick Race mode, you can choose the map you want, with the number of opponents you want (even 50 if you want it), number of laps, weather, faults and penalties, tyre adhesion, etc etc etc. You can modify barely everything in engineering mode. There's a lot of different cars from Karts to Formula A, passing by old school BMW, unbelievable rockets and classy McLaren. The game can adapt to everything you can imagine: USB steering wheel, game controller or even keypad.
    Fourth, solo/story mode is really long (about 60 hours of gameplay) while multiplay is cool and still alive.

    As always when you love something (or someone though), you have to realize its defaults:
    Project CARS is kind of repetitive. Yeah, that's still a car game. All you do is racing, again and again. You better love this. Next, as I said, story mode is very long, and still repetitive. One of the thing you may hate the most (as I do) is when it starts to rain while you're driving. After a few minutes, you simply can't avoid your car to spin and spin around as you accelerate. Only thing that can save you is to go to at the stands change your wheels. Wierdly the AI doesn't seem to react to rain. That makes each race under the rain a huge challenge...
    I'm seriously not a huge car games lover but the overall quality of this game is simply impressive.    … Expand

    Really good game, a lot of different interesting points, all sorts of configurations and other nuances. But as they say this game is not for me. I recommend perverts to play it

    Despite the fantastic visuals and solid gameplay, the lacklustre content compared to other, larger budgeted racers made it hard to get into.

    There's a genuinely good racing sim buried in here somewhere, but it's hurt by an overall lack of polish and questionable design choices. Menus are convoluted and confusing, the AI exhibits a lot of strange behaviors such as sporadically wandering completely off the track, and car setups are a nightmare to manage.

    Very good racing game. The bad news are the lack of content and cars. Still, recommended.

    Parlando chiaro. Senza bug il voto sarebbe circa 0, ma grazie alla loro tremenda frequenza e spassosita' si merita 6.

    A lot of cars , beautiful but you never get your own . This is bad . The races are on long tracks , so i fall asleep while playing . You can adjust the difficulty , which is good . But the game is boring - cant buy own car , cant choose the car or its color . Despite the fact you can skip a part of the races , it s really boring .

    The simulator aspects are co-opted and somewhat compromised by a desire to simultaneously appeal to the arcade racer crowd—without actually being an arcade racer.

    Fantastically versatile Project CARS entertains both champions and festive drivers. It excites them with helpfulness, technology and dynamism, so only details could be reproached. [Issue#253]

    When it comes to the actual racing, the game gets top marks primarily because of how deep the handling model feels. It also does a fantastic job of giving the player every possible option to tailor his or her experience to their liking. However, everything outside of the racing, such as the career mode, is mere window dressing.
