If you love the whiff of diesel, and the roar of a car engine as you hurtle round a track, Project CARS 2 is a game designed lovingly for you. The original was a hardcore sim that almost makes Gran Turismo look as arcadey as Mario Kart, and this sequel ups the ante with lots of extra content.

Gran Turismo , and even before that, Ridge Racer was how I wasted away a fair chunk of my childhood. Sadly, as I grew older, I stopped religiously playing our high octane buddies.

A huge number of great tracks; Ferrari and Porsche are here; Plays exceptionally well using a steering wheel; The weather system is incredible

Playing the game using a PS4 controller can be troublesome, There are so, so many bugs; They need a can of Doom, Not n00b-friendly

It was so easy to love Project CARS. It was a great story of this little studio, which, via crowdfunding, started a small-scale project that grew in scale, and with its first attempt, gave giants like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport a run for their money.
