Project Gotham Racing 4 demo up for download

I know that sometimes i get a lot out of the demo, and don't need to buy the full game because there's always stuff coming out and other games to buy. Crackdown for one was a huge demo. Stranglehold another.

Anyway I got PGR4 last night and as a PGR fan, PGR4 is wicked and the bikes bring life into the series. I was sceptical on the inclusion of the bikes but now Im really enjoying something different. The career mode as everyone has read is different now, a calendar of events, but not only that, they've expanded on the events, some tournaments are majors which makes you qualify for the event and you have to come in the top 24 out of 32 racers for example to move onto the next phase. The calendar event mode plus AI 'characters' was always something i wanted to see in racers and finally its here. I can't give a complete verdict on it just yet but so far so good. You can still race for medals in arcade mode but Ive never liked that mode.

Bulldog mode in multiplayer was a bit disappointing but maybe that was because the five American guys I was playing with were stuffing around and trying to unlock something. Racing was also fun in multiplayer and I had no lag.

The new cities were fantastic and alot more interesting than PGR3. I think Macau is the pick of the lot so far, you can do a run up the hill and see the city below before hurtling down through the city itself.

Any questions - fire away! I'll put more hours in tonight and see how we go. The Asian DVDCrave copy is only $65.
