Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

...or two about this is Project Gotham Racing. While it must be said that PGR3 was slightly underwhelming, such is the expertise developer Bizarre Creations has displayed in this field over successive versions it has ensured that the PGR series has become synonymous with racing on the Xbox. And certainly, it's a reputation that the fourth in the series cements with a display of excellence that not only restores your faith in the series after its slightly ...
...being the best racer on the 360. Visually, the game looks as good as anything I've seen on the 360 to date. While some might bemoan the fact that everything shifts at half the frame rate of Forza 2, the sheer amount of additional detail this has allowed Bizarre to pack into the levels more than makes up for this. Take a second to look at the passing buildings and you'll see light reflecting off the windows. Likewise, the additional detail on the ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) is, surprise, surprise, number 4 in a very successful series of racing games, first seen in the original xbox, now xbox 360. I was desperate to play this game having played previous PGR's (1 & 2), and having never like any other racing games, I am somewhat loyal to this series. Basically it is a game that consists of numerous ways and types of racing with over a hundred different types of cars and now motorbikes. ...
...road cars, hot hatches, street racers, supercars and concept cars. The main types of 'races' are: Street race, where one races other drivers around streets of the world including London, new York, Tokyo, Quebec, St petersburg; all in all well over a hundered different tracks. Kudos challenge, where one 'earns kudos' (points) by doing certain things, such as wheelies on bikes or handbrake turns. Cone sprints: where one has to demonstrate precision ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

...always have high expectations for project gotham racing as i have owned all of them. This one is a very good game. I am playing it right now in fact. There are so many new features from the last ones, and the major one is motorbikes. I love them, especially the super fast ones on the test tracks. Nothing like powering around a test track at 200mph with full surround sound on an hd tv. Just beautiful. The single player has arcade mode, which is great ...
...is very entertaining. But the main part is the career. I have spent the past couple of days doing the career along with multiplayer. The career is very cleverly designed, you go through a calender into each event, with majors in between which give you secial prizes and invitations which get you into major events and also different cars. The way to purchase cars for mutliplayer tho, it through career as you have to earn the kudos to buy the car sets. ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing is the best racing series going and, in my opinion, PGR 4 is the best racing game out on xbox 360. It has so many different things that you can do, which gives the game a huge lifespan and makes it better than any other racing game. Career- A massive career is present in PGR 4 where you have to work your way up the world drivers leaderboard in an attempt to become world number 1. You play back to back tournaments which have ...
...also features 'invitationals' to earn special cars. Arcade- 10 chapters, each with 6 events and each event has 5 difficulties. This mode adds a great amount to the games lifespan as it will keep you busy, entertained and challenged. Multiplayer/Free Race- Another mode for you and your friends to have custom races with your favourite cars. Online- Features several race modes incl. Single race, Team race, Single and Team Championships. Online also ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

This game is called project Gotham racing in short it is called pgr4, in this review i will call this game pgr4 in short of the actual name (PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 4). Many racing games have been made for the 360, such as Colin Mcrae's dirt, ForzaMotorsport 2 and many other games. All these games have received good reviews by the public and critics but probably one of the most entertaining and simplest games to play has to be pgr4 for the 360. (Vehicles) ...
...class a to class g, with class a being the best and class g being the worst. The vehicles in class a you would expect to see in the best racing tournaments in the world being driven by lewis Hamilton but the vehicles in class g you would expect your granddad to drive. The vehicles are fun because they seem to act realistically to your commands of a push of the button and all the vehicles have a rating of hard or medium or easy rating to tell you ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) is the 4th in the series and a return to the good old days. For those of you that hadn't played the previous versions, PGR1 was good, PGR2 was great and PGR3 was sadly a bit of a let down. PGR4 however gets everything right and is a fantastic driving game and fully lives up to all the hype and expectation that preceeded it. There are alot of new features from the previous version with the most noticable being the addition ...
...of this at first, but to be honest, it works and works really really well. It just adds a different dimension to an already fantastic game. Powering down the straights at 200mph + with the sound pumping out is an audio and visual treat, at times it just blows you away. There are 2 main parts to the game, the single player and the mulitplayer. The single player game consists of an arcade mode which is great, but the main part is the career. The career ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

I had Project Gotham 3 for the xbox 360 and it was one of my favourite games, so when I heard about Project Gotham four coming out I was really excitied. I bought this game on the first day of release from Game for £39.99 and couldn't wait to start racing. PGR4 is all about style. The Kudos system awards you points for driving with style and flair. Long powerslides around sweeping bends through to driving on only two wheels. The kudos you earn from ...
...new tracks. The weather conditions are a great addition to the game and the weather can even change in the middle of your race. This makes the game much more realistic. Dense fog, ice, snow and lots and lots of rain are examples of the weather conditions you find yourself driving through and each affects your vehicle in a different way. Visually , the game is stunning. The environments and cars look fantastic and the water effects on the tracks ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

...that I haven't actually bought Project Gotham Racing 4. I won an Xbox 360 and was toying with the idea of selling it when a work colleague suggested that I try PGR4. He took the view that this one game alone could persuade me to keep my Xbox. And he was right. This game is tremendous in just about every category. Having come from a history of PS1 and PS2 games, particularly the Gran Turismo series, I didn't hold out a lot of hope for PGR4. How ...
...the answer is: by not competing, at least not directly. The Gran Turismo series is a very realistic, very serious work. PGR4 is, pure and simple, a blast. The fun and games begin almost immediately - no passing of lengthy and complicated licence tests, pretty much straight into the action. Granted, players start with small, not very powerful cars but at least the races are with other small, not very powerful cars. And bikes. Did I forget to mention? ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

I bought this game secondhand as i do with most games and was pleased with the new look to the game. The graphics looked even better and i couldn't wait to get on a motorbike. The career mode is different to that in PGR3 with it's month/date/event layout. There is also an arcade mode which is more like the PGR3 career mode but there is lots of variety throughout this game. It is very easy to sit down and have a play with it. The kudos system works ...
...get the hang of but when played for a while it is much more rewarding than in PGR3. Also there are no such things as credits (money) as you buy not single cars but SETS of cars (which makes the game feel nicer if i may say) with kudos gained. The cars are less glitchy and the bikes implemented are fun (sometimes tedious on ice) and as mentioned just there there are much more wether conditions. What i found really cool was in dips in the road and ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) improves on where Project Gotham Racing 3 left off. The gameplay is roughly the same, and it's very much an arcade game. It's very easy to powerslide round corners at 150mph etc - something which would be very difficult in real life! There are a wide range of tracks (although they're nearly all city based). There's only one proper race track, and that's the Nurburgring. There are also now bikes in PGR4, which are, ...
...rubbish, they can't turn at all! Cars are far better in terms of racing, although it's quite fun doing wheelies etc on the bikes. There are quite a few choices of cars, and they all do over 150mph. They range from a Ferrari F430 to a Koenigsegg CCX, and all are pretty fun. One thing I do find annoying is the number of glitches in the game. For example, in the F430 Scuderia, there are LEDs on the wheel that light up to tell you when to change gear. ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

After the extreme sucess of Project Gotham Racing 3, I though PGR4 was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately I was wrong. To me PGR4 feels like an extended trailer or a game that will test all of the feature that they developers could put into PGR5, for example, the bikes were just a test of what they could do and the career was much too short and was so simple I think I could have scripted it. This game also lost a lot of ...
...Saying this though is not to say that PGR4 isnt a good game, it's just not as good as what you expect it to be, still a game that you should buy, but my advice is for you to wait of the price to go down first before you do decide to buy it. ...

PGR4 rounded up into 20 - 120 word? well il give it a go! Graphics are amazing, especially in the rain! Obviously, the new aspect, bikes. I personally find them hard to control, but the best of racers online use them. The online modes are as fun as ever, even though they can get very competative, with a lot of fishtailing going on! Overall, quality game. ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

IF YOU LOVE CARS AND BIKES THEN THIS IS A GAME YOU SHOULD HAVE, ALL THOUGH THE WAY THE CAR ACTS IS NOT VERY REALISTIC IT LOOK EXCELLENT AND A LOT OF FUN. THE LIST OF CARS AND MOTORBIKES ARE HUGE AND WOULD TAKE ME AGES TO TELL YOU. BUT EACH ONE IS REALISTICLY MODEL TO THE REAL THING. MOTORBIKES ARE FUN YOU CAN WHEELY AND ENDO, INCLUDING DOING SPECIAL TRICKS INCLUDING STANDING ON SANDLE AND NO FEET, YOU CAN EVEN DRIFT THE MOTORBIKE, LITTLE BIT UNREALISTIC ...
...SO PLENTY OF GAME PLAY, GET TO UNLOCK NEW CARS, TRACKS, MOTORBIKES, HELMETS ETC AND SPECIAL BONUS LIKE 3D PHOTOS. THERE ARE ALSO SECRET ACHIEVEMENTS THAT I HAVE NOT FOUND YET BUT SHOULD BE GOOD WHEN YOU DO. ONLINE IS VERY GOOD, YOU CAN SUBMIT PHOTO AND REPLYS OF RACES AND THEY CAN VOTED ON. RACING ONLINE IS VERY EASY BUT PLENTY TO GAIN FROM. ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

The fourth in the project gotham series and a vast improvement on the i don't know what they were thinking third in the series which was a pretty poor effort. The graphics in Project Gotham Racing 4 are amazing even without a high definition TV (i can only imagine how good they are with one!) and the cars as ever are great. For the racing nut this is the holy grail of racing games on xbox 360 but if you need a storyline to keep you interested then ...
...i suggest a bit of Need for Speed?). The different levels of difficulty allow any gamer to play of any experience and the Nurburgring tracks are so good its unbelievable! Its not really a good game if your chasing gamerpoints though which are quite difficult to achieve but then again the chase in gettig them is better than any other driving game. ...
