Our Review

8 /10

The good

Impressive track selection.
Incredible variety of disciplines.
Live track 3.0 and class-leading weather effects.

The bad

Inconsistent handling.
Technical issues still haven’t been fixed.
Underwhelming visuals compared to the first game.

Summary

Project CARS 2 is a phenomenal package and a must-have for motorsport enthusiasts. The sequel presents class-leading weather effects and an unrivalled track roster and variety of racing disciplines. Demanding, yet thoroughly rewarding driving physics, and a comprehensive career that immerses you into the life of a racing driver in the world of motorsport like no other game. Technical issues and underwhelming visuals take some of the shine off the game, despite this, Project CARS 2 is a strong contender for the best racing game of the year.
