Features

• Dynamic Weather System: Now racing through a track can mean facing an unexpected rain storm or snow flurries in the middle of a race. This results in changing physics when powering around a corner on the wet or icy surface in Shanghai and St. Petersburg or any of the game's 10 other locations.
• Flair & Driving Style: Pass your opponent at full speed as you pump your fists and exhibit more emotion as you earn recognition with the revised Kudos system. The Kudos will be worthwhile too, because the new A.I. personalities will be able to perform bold new driving maneuvers as they race side by side with other drivers.
• 120+ Iconic Vehicles: More than 120 iconic vehicles, including motorcycles, from the world's top manufacturers. PGR4 puts gamers behind the wheel of the world's most iconic cars, including the 1957 Maserati 250F, 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, 1978 Lamborghini Countach LP400, 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo, and 2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. In addition, for the first time motorcycles from top manufacturers, such as Ducati, BMW and Honda, will be included in the game. Whether in single-player mode or playing with a team of up to seven other drivers, players can choose to race two motorcycles side by side or race with a combination of cars and motorcycles. The game's unique physics engine enables drivers to pull off incredible driving maneuvers not found in any other racing game.
• Xbox LIVE gameplay: PGR4 sets a new standard for racing on Xbox LIVE, allowing drivers to build a global racing community through team-orientated gameplay while making it easy to find their favorite races or images.

Customer Reviews

best racing game
This game is stunning visually and graphically. It has a set of challenging but gettable achievements which ae the best on xbox 360. There is a wide variety of cars and amazing weather effects. If you have HD tv you must own this. I can't wait for PGR5 (if there is one).

It seems i like the even numbers
Project gotham racing 1 - didn't like the structure of the game and found it too hard too soon

PGR2 - Brilliant single player mode which starts easy and gradually gets harder and look up lots of my time.AND a wicked online game which introduced amongst other things the 'cat and mouse' game which i loved.

PGR3 - not as good as 2 with much fewer cities and a much less good single player mode. Online was Ok but not as good as 2

PGR 4 - Brilliant really brilliant - the single player has a nice calendar structure and the kudos you earn allow you to buy new cars, tracks (i've just unlocked the Nurburing 5 mins ago :) ) and bikes as well as game modes (Not quite sure what bulldog is yet but sounds interesting.)
Like PGR2 this game is addictive and coupled witht he arcade mode will eat into many of my free hours over the coming weeks

I haven't tried the online (no xbox live now) but this game is worth buying for the single player alone

highly recommended

Disappointing
I'm a huge fan of this series of games, having started with MSR on Dreamcast. I was really looking forward to this game and bought it the day it came out but I have to, very reluctantly, say I really haven't enjoyed it. The visuals are fantastic, and the arcade handling of the cars is still great, but the game has been ruined by several unnecessary features. Firstly, the motorcycle handling is terrible and the 'stunt' moves you can make add nothing to the experience. Secondly, the game structure is based upon a calendar which annoyingly means you don't get a chance to practice events; if you lose you have to wait all year for the event to turn up again which is very frustrating when the race is an invitational in order to win a car. Thirdly, and worst of all, the weather effects only serve to make the game harder. Levels with heavy snow are appalling as the greatest supercar suddenly has the handling characteristics of a drunken hovercraft, whereas the AI cars speed around the track regardless. The rainstorms put huge puddles in the track which are usually unavoidable and cause the car to spin without warning, except for AI cars which magically stay on the track. Even the occasional flash of lightning can ruin a cone challenge when the whole screen is obscured for a moment as you drift around a corner. The whole game is a tangle of pointless attempts at innovation that constantly scratch and dig away at a core game that was practically perfect to start with. In a word: ruined!
