Project CARS 3

"If you&s;re looking for an arcade-sim with buckets of content which combines all the best bits from Gran Turismo, Forza and DriveClub, look no further. If you&s;re a Project Cars 2 fan hoping for an update to their favourite sim, …"

"Project CARS 3 is good, but not good enough to compete with the likes of GRiD or Forza Horizon. The path chosen by Slightly Mad studios for the third version of the game is full bumps that divert the whole …"

"While my disappointing experience with Project Cars 3 is clearly colored by my familiarity and enjoyment of the first two entries in the series, I tried to have a good time and managed to find it every once in a …"

"Project Cars 3 is going to annoy some people and I completely understand why. This is a huge deviation from the series that people are aware of, it honestly is like the series has lost its identity. However, this doesn&s;t …"

"In conclusion. The game lacks individual character. It gave up the charm it had worked so hard to build and tried to be too much at once. Struggling with it&s;s own identity, its flaws shine above its own achievements. Does …"

"Project Cars 3 will definitely have a place for those wanting a quick and easy racing game with a ton of customisation, cars, tracks and challenges. For more seasoned racing fans, or anyone looking for something even remotely different to …"

"Project CARS 3 says goodbye to the ambition of being a full sim and drives fast to a safe simcade haven, made of an old-style career mode, car porn and linear progression. It works, it&s;s a fun solid experience and …"

"With its bold new direction, superbly overhauled handling and some of the best, wheel-to-wheel racing out there, Project CARS 3 is a gamble that has resulted in one of the year&s;s best racers."

"In a lot of ways Project CARS 3 is reminiscent of the Forza Horizon series, though executed without any of the flair or fun that made the latter enjoyable. If you’re a racing fan, be it arcade or simulation, I …"

"While some might balk at the fact that Project Cars 3 is designed to be accessible, under the hood is the same bone-grindingly difficult racing sim that the series has always been."

"More-user friendly, more fun, but still boasting all of the bark and bite you&s;d expect from a top tier racing sim."

"Project Cars 3 abandons its deepest roots to offer us new experiences, moving closer to the arcade and abandoning pure simulation."

"Project Cars 3 is a great way to get into sim racing for newcomers thanks to its overtly gamey career mode, but the move into proper &s;simcade&s; territory feels odd and unfulfilling."

"Project Cars 3 would&s;ve been more successful if it was called something else. It leaves far too many important features on the table for hardcore racers, with an AI that&s;s too buggy and weird for new players. It feels rushed …"

"Slightly Mad&s;s expansive world of motorsport arguably works better as a hard-edged arcade racer than it ever did as a sim."

"Fitting between an arcade racer and a sim, Project CARS 3 tries something new with the series, but doesn&s;t feel like a huge step forward."

"Project CARS 3 may not be the best game in the series but it&s;s definitely the best Racing game of 2020. Being an arcade game might not match the taste of realistic gameplay fans, but the vast majority of Racing …"

"Project CARS 3 represents a huge shift in Slightly Mad Studios&s; attitude towards racing games. I suppose this means the studio lives up to their name! What Project CARS 3 lacks in realism, it now makes up for with accessibility. …"

"Project CARS 3 is not a standard sequel. It takes a lot of content from the two previous games (including the realistic handling of the cars), but it adds some arcade ideas that work and make it look more like …"

"Ultimately, I feel the greatest mistake that Project CARS 3 makes is being called what it is. Fans of the previous two games probably won’t find what they expect here, while those who disliked them could possibly be put off …"

"A fun, casual arcade racer that has a decent chunk of a career mode to keep you busy with some fun aspects, let down by wonky AI and being placed into the wrong series of games making it really hard …"

"Project Cars 3 is bustling with things to do. It&s;s as accessible as the series has ever been, and while marred by some inconsistencies in its presentation, is for the most part a joy to play."

"Project CARS 3 suffers from a case of mistaken identity. Once you adjust to the new direction, you can get into a fun flow of ticking off objectives, drifting around hairpins and purchasing upgrades. However, while the series&s; existing platform …"

"How not to be disappointed at first with the usurpation of a name which had installed a new license aimed at a certain realism and insufficient core qualities to stay on track? PC3 Can only find buyers with a discount …"

"Project Cars 3 take the series in the right direction when it comes to career mode but sadly slide off the right tone for everything else, a huge copy of PC2 and adds only a few to the franchise"
