Some racing games are a little too sim for me, like Gran Turismo and Forza. I don’t care about adjusting gear ratios.
Some racing games are a little too arcade for me, like Burnout.
Some racing games just aren’t my style, like the NFS street racing games of the last few years. I don’t want to lower my car and get a huge wing on my Eclipse.
I still enjoy those racing games, but for me, PGR 4 (and PGR 3) is a perfect combination of simulation and arcade racing. The feel is “sim” enough to require a lot of practice to get really good, but forgiving enough to be fun from the start. The graphics are fantastic, the online play is great, and even the music is diverse and entertaining.
Also, You can drive amazing cars from the beginning, unlike GT, Forza, and NFS. I don’t like being stuck with a Mazda Miata for the first few days. I see a lot of Miata’s in real life. This is a videogame. I want to drive a Ferrari.
Get this game if you’re looking for a great all-around racing game.
I waited months for this game, and it was time wasted.
Nowhere does this game compare to PGR2 or PGR3.
PGR2 was groundbreaking and was quite the competion when Gran Turismo was at the top of the charts. PGR3 looked great and had all the fancy cars, but it lacked the attention to detail that the previous game had. This was probably due to the fact that Microsoft was pushing to get the game released simulataneously with the Xbox 360 launch. The game suffered because of it. Nonetheless, it was a much better game than this one.
Many of the gaming world was hoping that PGR4 would be the next-gen level of racing.
There are too many things to cover for this short review, but I will mention a few that really made it a downer for me.
First of all, the biggest problem of the game is that they have completely destroyed “Career Mode”. It plays more like an arcade racer, and you don’t have any opportunities to retry tracks that you have not done well on. If you got 4th place…well “sorry” next event. It loses the excitement about the game and you wind up playing Arcade mode instead.
Another problem with the game is the way they have packaged the car buying process. Instead of going to the dealers, looking at cars, driving them, etc. You buy what I like to think of as “Hot Wheels” car packs where you dump all your Kudos into a bunch of cars that you may not really want.
Also, the addition of motorcycles really doesn’t do anything for the game. It adds a useless gimmick that doesn’t really improve the gameplay. It kind of feels like an after thought that ultimately makes the rest of the game suffer as well.
The design of the game is “ok”. Definitely not the best I’ve seen. The cars don’t look as good as “Forza Motorsport 2″. Forza looks and handles great, but it lacks the “fun” that Gotham once had. The only thing that does look very nice is the city renderings. They do have a very photo realistic feel to them.
So, unless you want to drive slowly in Tokyo to look at the neon signs. I would stay away from this racer.
pgr 4 is a game i rented to see how i liked it and was addicted after the first race. i love this game and will never give it up, unless they come out with a new one of course, online play is easy to do, the game is so realistic, the driving in the game is so realistic. the only minor draw back is extra content ie cars and extra tracks have to be purchased through microsoft, however the game has more than enough cars and tracks for you to race on. the graphics are killer, to top it all off you can ride a bike aswell, some of the fastest street bikes on earth. great game!! i am hard to pleaase when it comes to games, if they suck i get rid of them fast.
