Dynamic weather system: Now racing through a track can mean facing an unexpected rain storm or snow flurries in the middle of a race. This results in changing physics when powering around a corner on the wet or icy surface in Shanghai and St. Petersburg or any of the game’s 10 other locations.
Flair and driving style: Pass your opponent at full speed as you pump your fists and exhibit more emotion as you earn recognition with the revised Kudos system. The Kudos will be worthwhile too, because the new A.I. personalities will be able to perform bold new driving maneuvers as they race side by side with other drivers.
Iconic cars: New vehicles are lined up and ready to be driven, including the 2004 TVR Sagaris, 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, 2005 Vanwall GPR V12, 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo, 2005 Gumpert Apollo, 1997 Panoz GTR-1 Coupe, 2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, and 1957 Maserati 250F.

Project Gotham Racing 4 Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) continues its track record of speed with style. This is an arcade racer, so forget about tuning cars and buying spare parts - just pick up the controller and step on the pedal of whatever vehicles available. You can now ride tricky motorcycles to challenge the usual selection of fast Ferraris and other super cars, and drive in rain and snow to give your opponents the slip. But the key PGR trademark remains: Fast and furious driving, with a strong emphasis on racking up Kudos - bonus points that function as the game's currency. Speed, slide and steer like the devil to score Kudos. There are 15 achievable Kudos - making a spinning turn around a tricky corner or driving like hell without hitting any barriers are but two types of Kudos to earn. The stash lets you buy new vehicles - there are over 100 available - and even unlock hidden race tracks. A new Gotham Career mode in PGR4 is a welcome addition to the regular single-player arcade mode, and lets you emulate the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 rookie, Lewis Hamilton. This means you can compete in races around the world in order to attain the number one ranking.
The single-player events are not always about crossing the finishing line first. Some events require you to overtake six cars ahead of you or to knock down as many cones as possible on the roads. The sheer variety of events makes the game fun and often challenging, but adjustable difficulty levels means that even the worst drivers will not hit a dead end. PGR4's visuals are a testament to what sharp and vibrant high-definition graphics should be. Cities in the game like Tokyo and Shanghai are almost postcard perfect. The engaging music soundtrack - available on "radio stations" you can tune into during races - has several compilation CDs worth of great tunes. There is a comprehensive online mode for racing with other Xbox Live players, as well as "ghosts" for downloads - basically, translucent cars uploaded by expert players that record how they drive a particular track. You can race against these ghosts in your single-player games, and learn from their driving. But for the three out of four Xbox 360 owners who do not play online, rest assured that the single-player game has enough meat to eat up days and weeks of your life.
Besides racing, you can also take all of the cool cars you unlock for a leisurely test drive - without the obligatory car salesman to bug you as in real life. In the ranking of Xbox 360 games that are not Halo 3, PGR4 deserves at least plenty of Kudos - if not the pole position.
