I am going to be completely honest, I do not like this game. They got everything right from the sound to the graphics, to even the new generated tracks. But they messed up on one thing that killed the game (in my opinion), the physics. It's more of a "Arcadish" game than dirt rally, and it's a little bit of a shame. If Codemaster realized that the majority of the Steam audience are Sim Racers they would of gotten the majority of the audience happy. I had a feeling deep in my gut,  before it even came out that it was not going to be as good as its successor, Dirt Rally. 
 
There's a reason why this game has a 5 star rating on the PlayStation Store and a lot of people are saying it's a good game. If you're just a casual who plays on a controller, you'll have a very fun time racing these cars. That's not a bad thing, just for me it's not what I hoped for as I have a full Sim setup that I use all the time for Dirt Rally and other racing titles.  
 
I do have to give them credit, a lot of the stuff that they put into Dirt 4 for can easily be transferred to a new game in the Dirt Rally series too, and if they added the regenerating tracks into it, I think that would be heaven for me and many others. So I'm giving this game a thumbs up. Even though it's not meant for me it doesn't mean it's a bad game. Everything works, there's no bugs and for the general audience I think it's a great game. But it's not for me, and any other hardcore Sim racers. If you want proof and own this game, try driving the Lancia Stratos in both tittles, there's a hell of a difference.

I really like it. Its a good way to get people into the TrackMania Series

I bought this after returning Black Ops 3 and thank god I did. This game is not only 20 times better but 75% cheaper with unlimited zombie maps and being able to run on any PC. Obvious buy for me and hopefully for you too.

They fixed most of their stuff, Its decent if you can find some people

Beautiful, thats all I can say :D

O God, How much I love this game

This game is amazing but the peer to peer connection kills me sometimes. Thats all I got to say

If you have less than 10 hours (Like myself) then you have no right to write a review for this game because of how big it is. But I'm not giving it a review, I just want to recommend this game because I think this game should be assigned with a "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating for I find it like if I teleported there with beautiful visuals and amazing gameplay. But I've only dove into the crust of the game. If my feelings change for some reason then it will be posted here but I don't think that will happen. Just buy the game and if you don't like it, return it. But I don't think you'll do that. Well I hoped this helped in some way, HAPPY GAMING!!

I originally gave this a negative review because of only offering 1080p support and the servers but they seem to be fixed now. This is a great game in general and if there is only one thing I would like to see is user avatars for people you are playing with (other than friends) but the game is getting a lot better than before. Thanks for making those tweaks.

Well this is interesting, I go to the Project Cars review section and all I see is dislikes, uhh why. I'm reading the reviews and people are complaining that there are bugs and glitches. Well I haven't experienced any glitches except for one incidence but in total not bad. I'm just going to give my opinion on the game for how it was played on my computer. It may be different for others so you have BEEN WARNED. (It’s going to be funny on how many people are going to dislike my review even though I said that but moving on). I don't play many car games so this is going to come from a guy who plays the game from time to time (Not a hard core Racing Fan, at least not yet :D).

Gameplay: I actually enjoyed it, the physics (or whatever people say these days) are good and the cars feel semi realistic on the track. Why do I say Semi, well it doesn't feel like something I would drive in real life but yet it doesn't feel like it's in Need For Speed, it's in-between. So for most people who want to take a break from FPS games and don't race often, they won't find a problem with it.

Graphics: Another thing people are disappointed of in the reviews. I like them, again not a huge techie for specs but the graphics are pretty nice. I can't really give a real in dept review about this section but take a look at this video of someone playing at Low and Ultra settings --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdUmhUhSgYk . The only thing I can criticise on is the power it requires to run this game, OMG. You can find my PC specs on my profile but basically 4K (Which I usually play) is set at 35fps on Medium and it’s hard to drive a car at anything under 45fps (I sound so stupid saying that but it's kind of true). I instead changed the Resolution to 1080p and set the setting to High. So all I can say is good luck playing this at 4K or if you got a weak Computer.

Well I’ve taken too much time into writing all of this so I will leave you with this. If you have a powerful computer and you're not the biggest racer then yes buy it. But if you love racing, it's the only thing you think of in the morning then no. If I can re-direct you to a better tittle it would be Asseta Corsa or Dirt Rally. Those in my opinion are much better games and are half the price. But I'm still going to rate the game a thumbs up because I personally enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and I won't be surprised if people don't agree with this :P

See Ya
