The rest of the package is also rammed to the brim as there’s plenty of tracks to master, too. While there are certain tricks you can apply when switching between cockpits, ultimately you need to understand what’s going on under the hood in order to master it. You get all the names you’d want – which includes big boys like Ferrari and Lamborghini – and the sheer difference in how each one handles is a difficulty level within itself. In many ways that would be impressive enough even with a handful of cars, but the fact Project Cars 2 can boastfully say it’s tinkered with more than 180 is ludicrous. It’s equal parts infuriating and invigorating.
You don’t just jump in a vehicle and put your foot down, if you do you’ll find yourself spinning onto the gravel. Dozens of factors can affect a race, or at least throw you off your initial game plan – from weather to the wear of your tyres – and understanding how best to tackle that is imperative if you want to start getting to the front of the pack.
This was true with the original, of course, but Project Cars 2 builds on it with such skill you’ll be hard pushed to find anything that replicates the art of racing with more precision than this – especially on console – and for that reason alone it’s a hardcore petrolhead’s dream.ĭeveloper Slightly Mad Studios pursues this goal so unrelentingly, too, it doesn’t even pretend that the experience is meant for anyone else. Regardless how many driving aids you rely on, or how much you believe in traction control, the concept of driving a car at terrifying speeds is taken so seriously you have to be prepared for everything that comes with that. While that may seem like an overly hyperbolic way to start any review – and certainly doesn’t take away from its competitors merits – Slightly Mad Studios’ sequel takes the idea to such heights it would be ridiculous to say otherwise.ĭue to this, however, prepare to spin out, lose control and go flying into walls. Project Cars 2 is so dedicated to replicating a real-to-life racing experience, and pulls it off so well, that it almost makes a joke of any other racing game that dares to call itself a ‘sim’.
