Inside Sim Racing Review

This is a pretty brilliant review.

Super comprehensive (from a PC point of view), well informed, sincere, and offers up immediate audio/visual examples of every single point made, positive and negative. Really good stuff here and well worth a watch and a like for the work put behind it.

And if you're just checking a summary or bullet-points of this review its worth pointing out that short of the AI, every other "neutral" category is really a mixture of very high points and some low points, so there's a lot of variables at work here. The AI, even at best is barely middling, with plenty of examples of it being a "shit-show" as described. Though in the final thoughts the reviewer does make the point that most of the bad AI experiences weren't present in his time with Rallycross, which is interesting.

And there's nothing to report in this review on multiplayer yet, so that'll probably come later.

Definitely worth watching the video to hear what is being said for each category.

Summary of his thoughts are at the beginning of the video - "Simply put Project cars 2 is a "land mark" simulator with that in mind though it in no way "DESTROYS" other simulators on the market more its just another epic driving simulation to add to the collection of simulators".
