| 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. |

 Fine balance between fun and realism December 27, 2008
Project Gotham Racing 4 is in my view the best racer on the Xbox. It's probably the best in the series, up there with PGR 2. There is a wide range of cars and bikes which all drive differently and add a lot of variety. The cities are very well designed and look brilliant, making you enjoy the experience of driving through an urban setting, although there could be more than the 8 or 9 on offer. There is a superb career mode, where the aim is to get up to number one in the rankings and you'll play a series of competitions in a few seasons. THere are also other game modes like arcade and time trial which means ther's enough to keep you occupied for a long time. Racing with friends is also fun, on and offline. The only negative point is that there aren't many people online and it can take a while to load. All in all, a must buy as the primary racing game for an Xbox owner.

The big dilemma is whether to buy PGR 4 or Forza motor sport. Well I can tell you now that PGR 4 is no were as realistic as Forza. It also isn't for the hardcore racing fans who like to tune cars and buy accessories and rims and such like. However the graphics are great and it is really good fun on career mode. The online play is also good but the lobby's take quite a long time to load and the different varieties of modes you can play is not amazing. Having said all this I really do like this game and the feature of moving your way up the leader board in single player is a nice touch. If you want a good solid enjoyable racing game that does not have to many frills such as tuning facilities then thins is the game for you!
Hope this helped, let me know if it did
 Not as good as i hoped July 25, 2008

Basically PGR4 is pretty good but...
I thought this game would be as good as all the videos I've seen, but for some reason the graphics don't look as good as they do during replay. Also it starts you off in a Ford Sierra on tracks that are flat and square, just one after another, god it's very monotonous, so I wasn't very pleased about that, I mean, I just got bored - what's wrong with some curves? Maybe a bit of variation? I mean is it like that all the way through?
Anyway i played a demo of Race Driver GRID and that seems much much better, with curves and hills and cooler cars and realistic crashes and everything (which PRG4 should have had), so I'm going to get that one, once the price comes down a bit...
Something different..... May 28, 2008
This took a bit of getting used to after moving from various rally games but it doesn't disappoint, almost endless single player career and arcade modes and Xbox live is just a tap of the button away, really fun and competitive at times with plenty of options to make things more interesting- some snow and ice thrown in tests your skills. Great to have bikes too with the R1 being a favourite, just a pity the cars and bikes are all production based, some rally and track cars and bikes would be a great addition for PGR5!
best racing game May 15, 2008
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).
