I haven't played a lot of it, just about 10hrs, but I can already say that it is a legit racing simulator. It has a realistic throttle control and steering, that's why it's a must have if you own a somewhat good of a wheel. I'm playing with an Xbox controller, so it is harder for me to straighten out the car and get good times. I'm not really into the career yet, mostly played multiplayer, but it seems like it will be quite fun too, because there is somewhat an NBA vibe to it with the ''twitter'' feedback from fans, that are changing depending on your results and the fact that you can look at your stats. I'm more a rally guy, but with all the DLC's it has a lot of cars and is very fun to play.

This game is the closest thing to racing a car one can do without actually racing a car. It will give you the most lifelike experience of being inside exotica, hypercars, kit cars & high performance track optimized F1 open wheeler & grand tours available. Get yourself a wheel, start with the training tools on, hone your times then take off the training wheels get some snacks and race against the best in the world. Record your times then compare them with real world lap-videos and see how close or ahead you are of the real world records. Graphics 10/10 Gameplay 10/10 Music 0/10 Sound effects 10/10 Replay value 8/10 The attention to track detail in this game is just breathtaking - I've driven a real car around Bathurst (Being an Aussie) and although I wasn't going too fast or in an AMG mercy every dip in the road, house on the side of the track, crest where the sun blinds you, camber of the tarmac is absolutely perfect. Enjoy.

Project CARs is a realistic real-world racing simulation that feels as if it was meant to bring together the most die hard racing fans from across the world. After playing this game through many months of development, I have found the graphics are very appealing to the eye and certainly draw in race enthusiasts to the pleasing graphics of the game. Unfortunately, the aesthetics and logic behind the game, especially the ai are not quite up to par. The ai has yet to be improved upon despite numerous patches. This game is very playable however with an easy to manage interface, and an in-depth career mode. The physics engine for the most part is very realistic regardless of a few bumpy bugs. The GOTY of Project CARs only offers dlc in the form of cars and not much in the way of a massive overhaul of the game. If you like the base game, then the GOTY edition is a bargain for all of the dlc.
