Game review: Project CARS

Welcome to my Blog lovers of Video Games and especially those of the genre of racing simulators. Today's post is about the review of Project CARS Game, which is nothing more than a racing simulation video game, developed by the company Slightly Mad Studios. The game was officially released on May 7, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, Steam OS/Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. This is one of the best racing games I have tried without a doubt, together with NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, iRacing, Rfactor and Rfacor 2 among several others. A game that gives us a good gaming experience, which we enjoyed a lot, being the best the good difficulty that this game has and more when we consider that players like that the games are not easy and that these games are not only entertainment but represent a challenge. For the analysis of this game I will take into account the gameplay, graphics and sound, plus any other information that will help us understand more about this great game.

First I will start talking about the gameplay of Project CARS, where this is a simulation-Arcade, as the developer of the game wanted to make a less demanding entertainment than Gran Turismo, Forza MotorSports, Rfactor, iRacing, among others. The game modes present in this game are Story mode, Single Player, Online and Driver Network. To them, some complementary options are added, such as Time Trial, Free Practice, Create and Random Fast. Within the History Mode, we must create our own driver, with his name and nickname, as well as his country and number; Being the best of this mode, that we start from Kart to reach the highest categories of world sport, such as F1, Indycar, WEC, ETC. The Individual mode, is equal to all modes of other racing games, where we can configure the various racing options, such as the amounts of race sessions, the number of laps, weather conditions and competitors, the number of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the difficulty of the AI, the regulations (Flags and penalties) that are really important because we are in the presence of a simulator that although it is not as much difficulty as others, but nevertheless this is still very good and with good level, better than expected I would tell you.

As always, the best of these types of video games is the Online Mode, not only for the competitions themselves, but this allows us to meet other people in the world, interact and share our achievements, besides being able to have fun with our family and friends if we want. This mode is much better than others, since in the rooms are observed more than 15 pilots in the games, having the opportunity to fill the spaces with Artificial Intelligences, which in many games like Rfactor, did not allow this option. Similarly, in this mode you can configure different parameters, such as those mentioned in the individual mode. In addition, if you want to create a championship or league, this mode allows you to restrict connections through passwords. This is for me the best mode, the one I like to play the most, because of the first thing I mentioned and the other is because human beings always make common mistakes and not like the AI as in many cases they are absurd, but this is not the case with Project CARS.

Because in many cases, people only enter the game to crash other drivers, Project CARS has a reputation system, which takes into account the number of races completed and penalties received, in order to match drivers in a room of our level, this being something very positive and relevant within this game that gives a plus over others.

Inside the game we can observe the different categories of world motorsport, such as karts, superkarts, single-seaters of various categories (Formula 1, Indycar, etc), supercars, classic touring cars, GT3, GT4, GT5, endurance, prototypes (LMP3, LMP2 and LMP1), classic cars... Some vehicles are fictitious, but most of them belong to real brands, such as Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Caterham, Ford, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Pagani, Renault. Due to the lack of license from Ferrari, Lamborghini and many other teams, they are not present in the game. On the other hand, in the game we have the opportunity to adjust a number of rules, such as tire pressures, brakes, aerodynamic adjustment, suspension, alignment, differential, gearbox, among others. All this, in order to improve the performance of the car on the track and thus be able to have a better experience (fun) on the track. As for the visual aspect, the game has an excellent damage system, at the time of having an accident or random mechanical defects.

In terms of graphics, Project CARS, is well done, being the best of this the textures of the cars and circuits, in addition to the weather and lighting effects are very well created and look pretty good. The visual effects are other things that stand out in this game, where we notice big changes as we move forward in the races and events we play. The fluidity is quite good, we do not notice any problems when meeting the system requirements. The sound is excellent, where the engine sound is spectacular, where different sounds depending on the number of the brand that is circulating at that time, also depending on the category or car that is running, this is heard really well, being one of the best things in the sound section of this game. In addition there is also the voice of a track engineer, which is responsible for providing data such as times, motorcycle and tire temperatures, tire wear, position in the session, when there is or is not an accident on the track, in which sector is the accident or any event that is happening on the circuit during the different sessions you are playing. In general terms I can tell you that the technical section (graphics and sound) is very good, it is not perfect but it is quite outstanding.

In conclusion, if you like racing simulator games or simply want to try one, I recommend Project CARS, where you have to have skill and intelligence when playing, due to the difficulty required by this great game, although it is not the highest compared to other racing simulators, it is also really good and gives us great entertainment because of the good gameplay and game modes, the complete graphics and good sound it has. This game is 100% recommended for you..
