After 5 years of delays and testing, Project Cars, the latest racing title from the minds of those at Slighty Mad Studios and Bandai Namco, is finally here. When you make the statement "the most authentic, beautiful, intense and technically-advanced racing game on the planet," you had better come prepared to either back that up, or be ready to deal with the inevitable crucification that is surely to follow.

Cant agree with a lot of things in this review. The A.I. is pretty dumb a lot of the time and the game is not "stunning". It has severe "ghosting" and gets very blurry every time you take a turn.

If I'm more of an arcadey don't like to brake at every turn kind of guy, im guessing even at lower difficulties this isn't a good game for me is it? My favourite ever was midnight club LA...

I would say go for Driveclub if you're on PS4. I consider myself in the same fan category of racing games as you put yourself in, and I must say that I am very impressed and haven't been able to put my controller down since I made the purchase.

Anyone have any tips for the Karts? It seems the the A.I. can turn on a dime, but it's a struggle for me to get around corners.

It's a relatively simple tip, but you're going to be able to turn much sharply when accelerating from a slow initial speed. So for corners you know you aren't going to be able to make just by letting off the gas, brake deep in the corner, cut the wheel and roll back onto the gas.

The one thing I fînd hard to comprehend in this review is the positíve points in regards to the AI. AI is good In that it doesn't stick to a predefined racing line but on the other hand it seems to have no awareness of your car. Therefore if you position your car at point at which the AI car expects to be it will have no reservation of driving straight into you.
The lack of cars cannot be underestimated. If you were expecting the plethora of cars that Forza & Gran Turismo bring then you will be sorely disappointed.
Yes Project Cars is a solid Sim based racer but it isn't the dream racing game some would have you believe.
