    Project CARS 3 is a racing video game developed by Slightly Mad Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was first released on 28 August 2020 for the Xbox One.

Project Cars 3, at least on the base console versions, isn’t quite the polished sequel we were hoping for, but despite its foibles – and there are many – it’s entertaining. The racing can be fun, finding that niche of being accessible and competitive. If we look at the pros and cons... Pros = The inside look (cockpit view) is great and not makes your eyes hurt like some other games. There's lots of cars and tracks you can try so for some time you'll have enough resource to stick to the game. Handling style is smooth I really enjoyed while I was driving in Project Cars 3 trust me there's some games supposed to be a racing game but their worst future is handling like WHAT? Other than that only con I can talk about is I think career progression feels little slow like you going no where after a day or something like that. So people this game is quite nice I would play it if I'm a genre because as a gamer it was really fun!… Expand

    My gripe with project cars 3 is it's trying to be to many things at once...... Is it a bad game no, not at all. It's easy to pick up and play, simpler control system for newer players to the series. But it's nothing like PJC 1 or 2, If your looking for a sim racer experience then sorry, this isn't it, think more of a mashup of need for speed, forza horizon and forza Motorsport.

    I would also suggest to look at a few videos of game play before you make the decision to purchase

    My Pros: Fun, Easy to pick up and play..

    My Cons: Not for someone looking for an experience like the previous titles, making itself a bit to many things at once.

    Overall the game is fun but not the project cars i'm used to.    … Expand

    Namco did a good job with Project Cars 3. While it isn't great. I find this game to be good. Not great, but good.

    I'm not quite sure how I feel about the car handling. Is it arcady? Or do the cheap cars just feel that way. I'd love to play to find out, but it's so buuugggy. I wanted to be able to give this game a 10 so bad. I had high expectations after how great the last two were, but this isn't even arcade quality yet. Ii hope it gets there. So long s they haven't wrecked the physics, then I don'tI'm not quite sure how I feel about the car handling. Is it arcady? Or do the cheap cars just feel that way.

    A fun, casual arcade racer that has a decent chunk of a career mode to keep you busy with some fun aspects, let down by wonky AI and being placed into the wrong series of games making it really hard to recommend to either demographic of casual race fans or sim racers.

    Summary: Project Cars 3 ditches its former charm in favour of pick up and play. As a result, the game struggles to find its own identity amongst a sea of better contenders.

    Project CARS 3 leaves mixed impressions. It can please fans with a nice process of driving, but it's difficult to recommend it to beginners because of the monotonicity factor in the career mode. Slightly Mad Studios still have a lot of work ahead to solve technical flaws and provide further support to the game, if they still want to win new players' attention.
