PGR4 is the best in the series so far, I was expecting the graphics on the cars to be a little bit better, but the environments are where the graphics really shine. Cities like New York, are amazingly detailed and accurate in the placement of buildings such as city hall and the peter cooper village. And shanghai shows in great detail the "Bund" area as well as the side streets that show real life small buildings that you would think a game developer would not care to add.
One of the few problems that I have with the game is that when you are racing with a motorcycle it is very easy to blow through the game quickly. The motorcycles can take corners much quicker then the cars and it creates an unfair advantage and usually creates a huge lead by the first lap pretty much eliminating the competition.
The career mode is very fun and makes you want to continually advance and get new cars or bikes to get the edge against the other races, but he way you buy cars though is a little strange now. The game forces you to buy bundles, which I don't really like. But regardless of a few small qualms with the game it is overall a very fun experience and worth the low price that you can find it here. Definitely a recommended title for racing fans or people looking to try a new game.
