A really fun racing game.
Gameplay: The racing mechanics of PGR4 are very fun but not as realistic as some racing games like Forza 2. The cars are a blast overall and nothing feels to slow or underpowered. PGR4 is the right mix of arcade style gameplay and realism that will attract hardcore and casual. One thing about PGR4 that is improved over 3 is the drifting. It is a great feeling being able to perfectely drift around a tight corner, Little things like that make this game very fun.
The bikes in PGR4 are the lowblow to the ride department..They are way to sensitive too the slightest touch and just feel tacked on too the game. but with a plethora of cars under your control thats not a problem.
Graphics:The graphics of PGR4 are very very good. The cities are very realistic and the cars are just beautifull..such details like water droplets on your windsheild make the graphics some of the best of any racing game.
Sound:The car sounds are good but not great..Some cars still seem to be like bumblebees even though they hit 200MPH. But in the long run the small sound differences and with an excellent soundtrack you will quickly forget about your car and focus on Mozart instead.
Multiplayer/Replayability:The multiplayer aspect of PGR4 great. Though not as deep as Forza, PGR4 caters more to the casual player as forza does to the hardcore race fans.. PGR4's carreer mode is a lot shorter than other racing games but in many ways its wayyy more fun because of so many fun modes that other games dont offer. The arcade mode will be fun for a bit but the real fun is in the short but sweet carreer and the multiplayer.
Overall: PGR4 is a very fun racing game that will give you many hours of fun for casual and hardcore racers.
