    PGR4 makes a lot of absurd decisions ranging from motorcycles to Lady Sovereign to unreadable menus to Quebec. While the core gameplay is the about the same as it has always been, the one good upgrade, the weather effects, isn’t enough to maintain PGR’s earlier decent showing.

In all respects the best racing game on any console right now - the graphics, the presentation, the excitement, the attention to detail, the sound, the music, the cars, the cities, the realism, the weather effects, the photo mode, the replays... Not only the best racing game, possibly the best game on Xbox 360 and definitely one of the best I've ever played.… Full Review »

I would recommend it to no one, unless I hate them. I only own this game because I got it as a part of a Xbox Live subscription bundle. The graphics are very poor, the game seems like it tries to be realistic, but isn't in anyway. The presentation is very underwhelming, and the mechanics are downright atrocious. Nothing about this game feels natural, especially the driving. Not even worth a rent. Do yourself a favor and go get a copy of Forza 3 or 4 instead.… Full Review »

I first played this WAY after the game originally came out in 2007, late 2014 to be slightly more precise, and naturally being more focused on the completion of the year's most recent games, Far Cry 4, The Crew, GTA V etc. I wasn't expecting myself to put much input into PGR4, especially its career mode. But once I got into it, I really came across one heck of a racing game! And considering the prices it goes for now, €4 at best, you get an awful lot for your money: a dynamic first person camera, a diverse soundtrack of rock, electronic, classical etc., rain effects on cars and speaking of cars, a whole lot of 'em, arguably the best collection of them in the series alongside PGR2. There is so much right about this game, but it isn't flawless, as much as I hate to call it that. The career is shallow, but it's the only way to meaningfully earn kudos to buy new content, which redeems it and the damage is unimpressive, but that's it. Everything else about the game is awesome; it's a shame the series has pretty much died. Happily though Forza Horizon fills that void like a puzzle piece, which has some PGR blood in it's Forza guise.
    In short, if you love racing games, buy this whenever you can! It's easy to find, it's cheap, and trust me, for what you pay you'll get a whole lot of game!    … Full Review »
