Progect Gotham Racing 4 (Microsoft)

A much more satisfying driving experience.

Game Review by JW | 07 Nov 2007
In its fourth iteration, you should rightfully expect any game franchise to have ironed out any problems. Thankfully, PGR4 does not disappoint; massively improved handling coupled with a tweaked Kudos system make for a much more satisfying driving experience. Indeed, with the (slightly) improved graphics and all new weather effects (which actually affect car handling) on much improved tracks, PGR4 is a pleasurable and varied experience. Throw in the extra challenge of the newly, if slightly sketchy, implemented bikes and racing becomes a whole new - wobbly- bag. Arcade and Career modes both offer extensive challenges in single player, while Xbox Live has you race on randomised track conditions to keep everyone on their toes. Should you for some reason tire of the driving, the addition of Geometry Wars Waves (the addictive lil' brother of an excellent Live Arcade game) to your career garage is just the cherry on the cake.
