Buy Project CARS on Sale

If you do not have a wheel, and only have an xbox controller, I advise you to replicate the settings that I have below, in the controller settings in project cars. If you do not do this, you will hate the game. This game may not be as good as Assetto Corsa in terms of steering, handling, and over all life-like simulations; but it is better in terms of online matchmaking (with friends) and graphics. Overall, the game has decent simulation physics. I recommend this for anyone who simply wants to just ride along a track with a group of friends.

Game is amazing. Looks beautiful, physics are amazing, rain effects are insane. Game is great and for $12 its a steal. I mean really a steal. Get the game.

Best graphics and handling model on the market. Very good feel and feedback on the Logitech G27 wheel, a must buy if you want to race your friends and win.

nice game, although i do recommend a steering wheel like the logitech g29 to get the maximum satisfaction out of it

My hours played speak for themselves.

I've been playing racing games for close on 30 years and I've never felt the immersion that I get from Project CARS. This game really makes you feel like you're in a car, in a race, with real weather and time of day.

If you're really into racing games and have a wheel, then this game will not disappoint.
However, if you try to drive like NFS or GT, then you're going to be punished.

VR experience is AMAZING!!! I honestly can\'t believe it. I have had the game for a while but never really spent any time with it. Got an Oculus and thought I\'d give the VR version a whirl and I\'m sooooo glad I did. Project Cars in VR is the best simulated racing experience I have ever seen. The cockpit view finally feels spacious. I can look ahead as much as I want, glance to the side to make sure I am clear of the other vehicles. Other cars on the track feel real. They have size and mass, but at the same time, I feel like I have room on the course. VR changes everything.

It's probably the best mix of simulation & tracks & cars that is currently out there, in my opinion. The force feedback and the handling are lacking compared to Assetto Corsa, but the vehicle range and track range I would say compensates for that. Then again, Project Cars 1 development and DLCs might be finished, the way I see it, while Assetto Corsa continues to bring new content.
Sometimes it can be glitchy, and usually a patch fixes one bug and introduces another. That's quite annoying. Nevertheless, a nice experience, and a pleasure for me to drive, especially in online multiplayer. I remember trying career at some point, but I found it incredibly boring and never touched it since.

Woot! I bought Project Cars the day it came out with Vive Support. It doesn't dissapoint, I'm an old time gamer from the 80's, many many racing games from Atari 8 bit computer, Atari ST, to IBM PCs for the last 20 years. I even had the Act Labs Steering wheel and gate shifter back in the day. I kind of lost interest in racing games with a single monitor, but Project Cars with Vive support has changed that. I feel like a kid again, and racing in VR is glorious, no need for tripple monitors! Love it!

Oh and I'm using a Force GT steering wheel/pedals on a Wheel Stand Pro. I can set it up in my Living room (VR place) in minutes, race for a hour or so, then pack it up. Good for wife factor.

A lot of the community whines about the drama with Project Cars, but they have made me happy with CV1 support at launch. They and Live for Speed have been able to keep up with the VR trend and I applaud it.

There is a lot to like in Project Cars
-CV1 support
-Lots of great race cars
-Lots of great race tracks
-Beautiful graphics
-Each car has a unique personality

The not so good.
-Suicidal AI. Prepare to be dive bombed, sideswiped, rear ended, and put into walls. Scarier than actual wheel to wheel road racing.
-Pits, pit stops are a bit of a pain to manage, but I'm comparing it to iRacing.
-Flags, the flags aren't really happening in a race. You can cheat your way to the top if you wish.
-No ghost car during practice. One of my favorite things in Gran Turismo and iRacing is missing.

+ Graphics are amazing
+ Gameplay feels very nice
+ Car models and track maps are great
+ Campaign is record-breaking (id pay 49.99$ just for the campaign)
+ Enough tracks to keep you busy

= Online racing is playable, but issues happen time to time
= Force feedback
= Number of cars

- Car manufactures (no Ferrari, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg)
- Realism factor (compared to Assetto Corsa)
- Physics (once again compared to AC)
- Mods (No mod support)


Overall 8.5/10 for me.
Multiplayer is 4/5
Campaign is 5/5
Physics are 3.5/5

Project CARS is a game that I really recommend because:
- it worth the money totally
- it has a wonderful concept
- it is atmospheric
- it has a good soundtrack
- the graphics are very good
- it is a great racing game
- it is very realistic
- it is a very good simulator
- it has multiplayer mode
- it has trading cards

Enjoy!
