    This game Is 8 but to compensate nonsense reviews done watching youtube videos i gave 10. The game Is good, runs smooth on Xbox One x and Is a blast to play, i definitely love the Force feedback playing with a wheel.

    Despite the bad reviews I bought the game anyway and I'm glad I did. It's nothing like the first 2 Project Cars Games, it's more like Grid meets Gran Turismo. The graphics aren't great, but they're OK. The game though is more like the game Grid should have been! There's a hefty 32gb patch to download, replacing most of the 35gb or so that was on the disc!

Maybe this is why I found the game much more enjoyable than the reviewers. The update may have improved it. The driving with a Logitech G920 wheel is great fun! It's a simplified version of the first 2 games and just plain and simple fun!… Expand

    I can get the hate on this game. Did SMS say they were developing a full sim racer. Im not so sure.
    Is it a departure from the previous interations, yes it is.

    Is this a good game? I believe it is a good game, and people hate because theyre sim racers. Yes, I love sim racers and I have ACC for the xbox. Great game, but boy does it have flaws. Yes and many. Yet, I will work with the developer to get regular update and fix. It seems strange to me that many are not giving PC3 similar respect.

    Last night I drove in a multiplayer race around Nuremberg long circuit, 10mins per lap. It was an absolutely awesome race. Did it have the technical precision of ACC, no. But PC3 has accessibility.

    ACC is a difficult game to master and it requires a vastly higher degree of dedication to succeed at ACC. But it has limited cars and limited tracks. I still get the first corner right-off and poor collision mechanics. Poor multiplayer.

    PC3 have a vast number of tracks, huge number of cars, and great multiplayer. It definitely has its place with the less sim orientated crowd. If you're a sim racer, this game wont live up to the technical standards of ACC or other sim but it does provide fine racing in my opinion. Just get away from that early career mode where the driving is not that great and in my view provides a poor impression on actually how good the game is. Delve into multiplayer, the custom race, select those faster cars and watch it go. To good for 7.0 but not good enough for an 8.0, but that's the system here. On my early impressions, I would give it 76% Flawed but actually likeable.    … Expand

    It's a bit of a tragedy. i never thought the pCARS games were good games, but at least they were mediocre sims. pCARS 3 is a MUCH better GAME than its predecessors, the career is much better and it's much more fun to play with a controller now, which was almost unplayable before.

    It's a lot of fun to finally be able to enjoy those great tracks, that have always existed, in a more arcade like racer, but it defies my understanding why they didn't call it Shift 3 instead, as that is basically what this game is.

    The game is nothing like the first two games, which seems like suicide from the marketing perspective, as it's clear as sauce this will greatly anger the long time fans and probably be overlooked by the more casual racers, who like Forza Horizon or GRiD, cause that's where this game is aimed at now.

    From a GAMER'S perspective I have WAY MORE fun with this game, than with the other two games though, UNTIL......

    Yeah, until one discovers, that the progression in this game feels very level-gated, which gives the whole game the feeling of a mobile game, which is somehow underlined by the truly lacklustre presentation, which looks clearly worse than on pCARS2, all while not really performing better.

    The VR mode atm is broken and unplayable for me, as it unexplicably jitters along from time to time.

    Sorry SMS, your last two games already released broken and unfinished but were never fixed. Please do better this time.

    As a verdict: I don't understand who this game is for. This would be a good game without the mobile progression, which simply reeks like GaaS and monetisation.

    I'd give it an 8, if it wasn't for that, but as it is I can't give more than a 6 right now    … Expand

    Ce jeu est merveilleux. Il combine tout ce qui se fait de mieux en matière de jeu automobile.

    I loooove it. The other Project cars games were clunky. This one is smoother than baby ****. I don't know why this game is getting so much hate. Make more like this Namco.

    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.
