 Great Addition to the series August 30, 2008
I have played PGR since the second series and this is one of the best. The Graphics are realistic and the car handles almost like a real car.So if your planning on getting get it don't listen to the bad reviews
PGR4 April 24, 2008
PGR4 is the best in the series so far, I was expecting the graphics on the cars to be a little bit better, but the environments are where the graphics really shine. Cities like New York, are amazingly detailed and accurate in the placement of buildings such as city hall and the peter cooper village. And shanghai shows in great detail the "Bund" area as well as the side streets that show real life small buildings that you would think a game developer would not care to add.
One of the few problems that I have with the game is that when you are racing with a motorcycle it is very easy to blow through the game quickly. The motorcycles can take corners much quicker then the cars and it creates an unfair advantage and usually creates a huge lead by the first lap pretty much eliminating the competition.
The career mode is very fun and makes you want to continually advance and get new cars or bikes to get the edge against the other races, but he way you buy cars though is a little strange now. The game forces you to buy bundles, which I don't really like. But regardless of a few small qualms with the game it is overall a very fun experience and worth the low price that you can find it here. Definitely a recommended title for racing fans or people looking to try a new game.
 Quite possibly the worst racing game I have ever played. March 30, 2008

I would like to comment for a minute on how terrible this game is. Usually I do not like to leave reviews for anything, it's just not my style; however, after recently playing this game, I became so irritated that I felt it completely necessary to share my anger with others. First off, it is not a racing game. It is a game about elementary "showing off" on a course with fancy cars. You get points for power slides, wheelies, peeling out, and all sorts of other things you cringe if it happened to you on a real race track. You may think to yourself, "that sounds like fun!" And believe me, it does! But in the harsh reality we live in, it is not. In fact, it is far from fun. You cannot race whichever car you please whenever you please. I personally like growing through the ranks with a terrible car and slowly tuning it up and saving enough money to buy another car. You are required to follow guidelines and only cars within a certain "class," which shows how poorly of a developed game it is. I thought the game was about free spirited driving. Well which is it Bizarre? Ladies and gentleman, listen to me, please. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! DO NOT EVEN RENT IT!! DO NOT EVEN ALLOW THOUGHTS OF POSSESSING THIS GAME IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM EVEN COME INTO YOUR MIND!! and what in the world is up with Kudos? Speaking of Kudos, congratulations on developing such an awful piece of non-entertainment.

PGR4 sucks in so many ways. I bought this game because I thought it would be awesome visually, but the graphics are actually pretty dull. They just didn't impress me. It just wasn't very pretty or interesting to look at. The cars handle REALLY badly! Most of the cars seem to handle MUCH worse than real life cars. I crashed into the corners so much that it's like I was playing bumper cars. The cars slip and slide so much, they handle worse than a BOAT!! You might as well be driving on a glass surface lubricated with oil! This is nothing like when I drive my own car! Next, the tracks are terrible! Most of the time the tracks are extremely narrow, often just ONE lane wide. PLUS they have many ridiculously sharp turns, which means you have to come to almost a full stop to go around them without crashing. This is just absolutely horrible! It really ruins the flow of the driving and ruins any possible enjoyment when you have to crash and crawl around all these stupid, narrow hairpin turns. Also the game gives you NO sense of speed. Like when you are driving 130 miles per hour, it looks like you are driving only 30 miles per hour. This game feels SLOW. Since I drive a car of my own, I should know what different speeds look like, and driving in PRG4 does not feel fast at all. So when you put all the above really bad elements together, you have a game that really really blows. There is just no sense of fun, imagination, or beauty in PRG4. They obviously put almost no effort into making the gameplay fun. Also, I really disliked that they give you only really lame, stupid cars in the beginning and you have to play this awful game for hours and hours in order to be able to buy the really cool cars. Lastly - they left out Paris!!! Paris is my favorite city! That really sucks! I really wanted to drive past the Eiffel tower. Everyone knows that Paris is the most beautiful, fabulous city in the world, so it was really stupid to leave it out of PRG4. I feel gypped by that! I really think they put very little effort into this "game." I don't think it's truly a game. I think it's just something they slapped together without fully developing something that's fun and interesting to play. Trackmania United is far better than PRG4 or any other racing game. I also liked San Francisco Rush. I wish they'd make new versions of those games for Xbox 360.
My kind of racing game March 12, 2008

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.
