GameInformer rate PGR4 as an 8.75/10 with a second opinion being 9.25/10. Here is the latter:
"I've always enjoyed the PGR series, but this year's edition is a thing of beauty. It's as if all the stars aligned in the series to bring us this one shining moment. The revamped Gotham Career mode follows a calendar format, but the thing that makes it work is that it lets you just race. Lose a race? No big deal, you aren't going to win them all; move onto the next track, earn more kudos, and get better at driving as there is always next year. Which is what I love about this game – it really just lets racing be fun. The cars follow this same mantra; they feel realistic to a degree, but they also feel fast and you can throw them into a corner without too much worrying, which is the thing that ultimately wears me down in racing "simulators." This is the best racing game I've played this year, hands down."
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku writes, "I think we all took the Xbox 360 for granted. Other all-time greats like the SNES and PS2 seem to be remembered more fondly than Microsoft’s console, which tends to be recalled as more of a thing that happened than a platform to be treasured."
A Kotaku writer pining for Xbox's golden years. I'm guessing there will be some good comments here.
“WE”didn’t take it for granted, M$ did.
What happened prior to launch of the One up through current day with their marketing and focus away from games and consumers. The failure of the One has nothing to do with the 360 being great. In fact backward compatibility and the 360 is about all the One had/has going for it. Now M$ is dumping money into fornite articles to try and be seen as more than they are, a company that doesn’t give a damn about its fan boys or products.
Clickonline writes "To many, cars are simply a way of getting from point A to point B. But to gamers they are a way of doing so as quickly as possible, while leaving opponents trailing in your wake. The racing genre’s grid has always been full of fierce competitors. And there’s no indication that this will change any time soon with Gran Turismo 6 taking to the start/finish straight and next-gen exclusives such as Driveclub and The Crew."
Jalopnik - I'd just taken over as Tesla's PR guy and had been contacted by old friends at Microsoft Game Studios about including the Tesla Roadster in Project Gotham Racing 4. Darryl Siry, my boss, took me into Martin Eberhard's (Tesla's Co-founder/then CEO) office to broach the topic. That's when it went very wrong.
@ Gamerankings it's on 10 reviews or so and 88%, I am pretty curious which reviews will add and if it will go up to 90% or higher AAA! It's pretty close already
