Project C.A.R.S

[Dabbaba]

I know it seems like I suddenly fell in love with the sim genre, but actually, I was just looking for a PC equivalent of the PS3's Gran Turismo racing sim, when all of a sudden I was bombarded with some AWESOME SIMS!

So I talked about Take on Helicopters, which was awesome. I also played the GTR evolution demo, and that was just fantastic! It takes practise to get the curves right, but when you master the track (which is the only track in the demo ) you get this amazing sense of accomplishment. Very similar to how you feel when you play Gran Turismo.

The only thing I think would be different is the amount of cars and modifications available for each car that gives Gran Turismo an edge. Although, I'm not sure if this is the case or if the demo just doesn't give you the full picture. In the demo, you drive some pretty sweet looking super cars; nothing I can recognize. Yet, in Gran Turismo you get this gigantic array of models and makes. You could most likely drive your actual, irl, car! Unless you drive something like a Lada.

When I was looking online for a GT equivalent for the PC, there was a lot of talk about a game coming out soon called Project C.A.R.S, so I thought I'd peek into youtube and check out the gameplay, graphics, etc, etc. I WAS DAZZLED.

This is what the makers (Slightly Mad Studios) said about it:

Looks like it will be a great racing sim, maybe even better than GT!
