    The game is awesome! Loving it so far but have encountered bugs. One bug where the race starts and no engine sound plays causing me to have to restart the race to fix it. Big game so there will be bugs but home the developers are committed to fixing them. Overall the variety of cars, modes, effects, realism, etc. is cool.

    I love racing games and Forza has been a staple of my game play since Forza 2. I was hoping this game would be something in the same vein. I wish I could say I love it, I wish I could say the racing is exciting, but honestly, you can't actually race. Controller input is seriously broken. You try to turn and the vehicle is just unresponsive, you wonder how you could ever make the turn since the car's turning radius seems to be too large to make it around the turn. After you hit the wall you see the driver, suddenly turn the wheel further to the side. WHAT? The game wasn't actually turning the wheel? At one point my vehicle went into a spin seemingly for no reason and counter to my inputs. Full on counter steer was not bringing the car back under control and finally I noticed that I was trying to steer right and the hands on the wheel was steering the vehicle to the left. How a company can release a game that broken is beyond me. Supposedly they are releasing a patch to fix the controller issue, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I was looking for a similar car game as PS Gran Turismo. They are differente, however the graphics on this one are very neat. I would recommend to have a driver wheel when playing as the XBOX controller is not the best gaming experience.

    Not for fans of arcade racers. Extremely simulation racing, even more so than Forza. the Go-Kart racing is intense! If you're a hardcore racing fan and want a sim, I would suggest this game, esp at it's low, discounted price (I got it for $7.99 with Gamers Club, well worth that price!)

    Bought the game for cheap. Looks and plays well enough, I just don't have the time in my life for two racing games. Personally, I like the graphics, the cars and the features of Forza 6 better. If you loving racing sims, give this one a shot. It's in depth, just not right for me.

    Great game, but too many bugs and a bad interface

    I was hoping Project Cars would be my Xbox One equivalent to Gran Turismo, or an alternative to Forza 5, and it's a great game. But it is overshadowed by an enormous amount of bugs (game freezes prompting a restart of the entire system, cars glitch and drive improperly, etc) and the interface is very daunting. The career mode is laid out in a very complicated way that it is sort of hard to figure out what to do, and how you earn money and cars. And the car selection is actually very limited.

    Amazing simulation, with a fantastic level of realism. Visuals are great and the "tenability" of this game makes it incredibly customizable. Highly recommend for any Forza6 fans that are looking for an alternative.

    Im not too far into this yet but I have found it to be fun, especially for the sale price i got it at ($8 with gamer's club). I found some settings for the controller on the project cars forums and have found the cars easy enough to be driven. the go karts are a blast

    Solid game that can satisfy enthusiasts with deep gameplay. However, it can be a little difficult for casual racing game fans or those used to arcade racing games. Would recommend for those looking for a more realistic style racing game to add to their collection.

    This game is a fantastic alternative to Forza. It has great weather and a phenomenal track selection. The only downside is that it is absolutely maddening to find the best settings to play this thing with a standard Xbox controller; a driving wheel is a must!

    it is a good game for enjoying it over the weekend. This game can be improved by its design and controller. It is not a best game but it is good for playing with friend. it's story mode is limited. however, my friend is still liking the game.

    If you've been waiting for a realistic racing game for console, this is the game for you!!! I've always been a fan of Forza but haven't found a racing game that has delivered the realism that I've been longing for since Shift 2: Unleashed. This game delivers on most all of my wants in regards to a racing sim, without me having to invest a few thousand dollars in a great PC setup. I highly recommend that you get a good racing wheel, since this game is quite difficult on a controller. It's playable but not enjoyable. The thrustmaster tx racing wheel is a bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion. If you've been wanting the ultimate racing experience, then I would get this game.

    Project Cars is not your traditional, hammer down the acceleration button racing game and win kind of video game. It challenges you to learn the game mechanics and you'll be a better driver for it. Career mode is interesting as well.

    Game is pretty sweet. Good physics, graphics, and gameplay. Wide range is racing styles which is coll. Biggest let down is lack of cars. Maybe more will become available as you progress. Other than that. Gold game.

    I love car racing games, and this one is no exception. Its different from NFS games since its more of a simulation game, and it feels quite realistic. Took me some time to acquire taste for it....
