You can probably afford to skip practice (easy, Allen Iverson), but qualifying is borderline mandatory. Each of those lasts a minimum of ten minutes. Every race is preceded by a practice and qualifying round. The most appreciated facet of driving is that most of the 70-some vehicles feel legitimately unique from one another, meaning that each takes some time behind the wheel before you can control it efficiently.Īctually, Project CARS‘ career is paced in such a way that it directly conflicts with the desire to keep playing. Project CARS also mandates a nice degree of subtlety with the throttle and brake, often requiring barely touching the gas to optimally weave through a set of turns. The cars all have an appropriate weight about them, only seeming floaty when they’re the lightest of vehicles. Regardless of where all those sliders end up, Slightly Mad has some great driving to offer. Those who know the ins and outs of cars may take great pleasure in adjusting camber angles and changing suspension heights, but the layman will be left wondering if they’re actively at a disadvantage. Before each race, the menu will implore the player to make alterations, but offers little in the way of guidance as to what anything does. That’s where Project CARS‘ commitment to being for hardcore simulation fans became actively detrimental. Again, frustrating, but that’s what you signed up for when you booted up Project CARS. Also, this title doesn’t play the rubberbanding game, so once the leaders have created separation, you’re likely to stay off the podium. One tire overstepping the bounds of the track will often send the car skidding off into a pile of tires, relegating you to an unimpressive finish. In the rare event that you break free from the pack, the most minute of miscalculated turns will send you straight to the back. The AI isn’t the only opponent in Project CARS you’re a constant threat to cause your own downfall. Sure, it’s an accurate portrayal of racing, but, man, that comes as no consolation at all when it dooms the entire race. Opponents will veer across the track to block progress, and they’ll occasionally send you skidding into the gravel trap. Project CARS‘ AI can be so aggressive at times that it seems as if the game is trying to pound the player into submission. However, in the heat of the moment, one could be forgiven if they don’t agree with that.
