    not great. really struggle to control it using an entry level steering wheel. ai is pretty poor. car selection is nice, needs more prototypes, and looks stunning.

    Hell yeah! I'm so glad to come into this site and discover I'm certainly not alone with my feeling about this game! The game is damn awesome: sounds, graphics, cars ... but I do not have a wheel and the handling with the default controller is absolutely crazy-difficult with some cars. I really enjoy challenging handling in a racing game but this goes over the top.

    And you know what? I know some hardcore users disagree with this but throw in the "rewind" feature that other games have and it would make a huuuuuge difference to play. Right now I'm quitting this game because it's destroying my nervous system.    … Expand

    Of course this is a race simulator game and you can't expect a perfect handling with a gamepad but after some changes in controller sittings you can make this game at least playable (not in the rain races off course). The biggest problem of the game is BUGS, BUGS and one more time BUGS especially in a multiplayer game, some of them are so annoying that ruins any positive experience fromOf course this is a race simulator game and you can't expect a perfect handling with a gamepad but after some changes in controller sittings you can make this game at least playable (not in the rain races off course). The biggest problem of the game is BUGS, BUGS and one more time BUGS especially in a multiplayer game, some of them are so annoying that ruins any positive experience from the game . Also the game have some dramatic FPS drops almost every race .
    Right now game look like is in beta version, not even close to a complete game. Save your nerves , wait some updates.    … Expand

    A lot of tracks but outdated graphics plus aliasing, and the drive settings are so weird
    BUT if you are a sim lover you would consider buy this game for few sessions

    I played this for 3 months. What I can say is that the graphic and sound of Project Cars 2 are stunning. The huge selection of cars are great. What's more is that this game able to play offline. I am not kind of person that play multiplayer racing with players all over the world, so I wouldn't bother about the multiplayer bug or freeze. The career mode is awesome and provides lots of fun.I played this for 3 months. What I can say is that the graphic and sound of Project Cars 2 are stunning. The huge selection of cars are great.

The career mode is awesome and provides lots of fun. What I really dislike this game is the AI. The AI is not consistent and awful. Even I lower the difficult to 50 or even 40, I simply can't catch up the AI even I made a perfect lap or race. I often came in last second or third position. I need to lower it till 10 or 20 to be able playing it. And the controller is terrible. I know is a simulation game where realistic control is the key for this game. But I think it should provides a simple mode for those beginners who just want to race and have fun instead of spending hours and hours twitting the controller settings and car settings that I even don't know what are they. This game sure is not for beginners. If you want to have fun and race and not spending and wasting time twitting the setting, this game is not for you. Go for other game.… Expand

    Love racing games i even bought the first Project cars the only downfall to part one and 2 of this series is its not very controller user friendly i still find myself googling controller settings.....NOT EVERYONE USES A STEERING WHEEN AND PEDDLES.... If you dont have the needs to search for controller settings on the internet for an hour i would not recommend this game

    Large selection of cars, race tracks, amazing sound and lots of weather options. But console version look very average, the graphics is kinda outdated.

    Also AI is not the best on the market so single player campaign is not worth effort.

    Game is good only for Time Trial and Multiplayer which is full of bugs so 6/10

    the game is really good visually , i has some of the best graphics on any video game until now , it has a huge variety of cars , , also it has a better overall career mode than the first game , also the design on the menus of the game and everything look much better , also the cars looks amazing also the sound effect sounds really great , only thing is bad about the game are the controls ,the game is really good visually , i has some of the best graphics on any video game until now , it has a huge variety of cars , , also it has a better overall career mode than the first game , also the design on the menus of the game and everything look much better , also the cars looks amazing also the sound effect sounds really great , only thing is bad about the game are the controls , like the first one is extremelly diffucult to control the car and it is very annoying some times , i know is a simulator so it needs to be hard so it'll looks like reality but honestly sometimes it even feel like if i was really driving those cars in the real world could be easier than driving them on project cars . i mean you begin driving carts and you can actually you can lose control on a corner driving with 20 km/h just because you press the stick a little more . this cant happen with real carts anywhere on earth… Expand

    They say it's playable with a controller, it is not, and other cars DO NOT REACT TO TRACK CONDITIONS, that whole cool experimental mode where you can make the weather change multiple times during a race, from some rain to monsoon to blizzard, IS ABSOLUTELY RUINED BY THIS!

    With incredible breadth and detail, Project Cars 2 can be absolutely wonderful. Bit it feels unfinished, and so similar to the original game, you really don't need both. [Dec 2017, p.89]

    The best console racer of this generation. [Issue#193, p.82]

    An uncompromising and varied simulation racer. The thrilling action is let down by glitches and unruly AI. [Nov 2017, p.62]
