    Project Gotham Racing 4 is an Xbox 360 racing game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Microsoft. It is the last Project Gotham game to be developed by Bizarre Creations, who were acquired by Activision Blizzard in 2007. Bizzare Creations released a statement through Activision the same year announcing that PGR 4 will be their last game produced for Microsoft Game Studios, who own the rights to the Project Gotham Racing brand, so any future releases to the series will not be Bizarre Creations-developed.

    PGR4 features 120 licensed vehicles, with motorcycles making their first appearance in the series. The makeup of the vehicle selection is more reminiscent of the first two games in the series than of PGR3, which features more supercars than actual production vehicles.

    Online modes include the usual ranked and player/custom matches, as well as daily and weekly tournaments, which must first be qualified for by setting a fast lap. The tournaments then run on a knockout basis over multiple rounds.

    The PGR series is also known for the Geometry Wars games, including them as extra content, generally through a virtual coin-op in the player's garage. PGR4 is no different, with a new version of the modern classic SHMUP, in Geometry Wars Waves, which was later included in Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 on the XBLA.

    New Features

    Career Mode

    The Biggest change to the game over its predecessor was the expansion of the career mode. Users no longer just compete for trophies, but there is now a proper calendar system in place, with various tournaments and majors taking place throughout the year, along with invitationals to special events in order to win cars and gain access to higher races.

    Advanced Weather System

    The other big change over PGR 3 was the new weather system, a first for the franchise, which affected the look of the game and the physics of the cars on the track. The weather can change from sun to rain to snow to hail within a single race. The game simulates ten types of weather, including clear days, clouds, light to stormy rain, fog, snow and ice. In user-created races, weather is fully customizable along with all other race features. During the career mode the weather is predetermined, rather then generated at random.

    Tracks

    The game brings back all of the tracks from PGR 3, and introduces new tracks based in Shanghai, St. Petersburg, Macau, and Quebec City, as well as the Michellin Test Track.

    Downloadable Content

    Two downloadable content packs were released for PGR4 on February 14, 2008. The Free Challenge Pack includes one new car, the 2007 Peugeot Flux, as well as two new online game types. The first, Tourist Mode, is essentially a sandbox mode for the game. It allows you to roam around each city freely for a set amount of time. Whoever has the most Kudos when the time runs out is considered the "winner," but the mode is more about exploring the city and making up game types than actually competing for Kudos. The second mode is Free Roam Cat & Mouse, which, as the name suggests, takes PGR4's cat & mouse mode and puts it in a free-roaming environment.

    The Premium Challenge Pack costs 400 Microsoft points, and includes everything featured in the Free Challenge Pack, as well as six additional cars--the 1987 BMW M3 E30 DTM, 2008 Callaway C16 Speedster, 2008 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept, 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, 2008 Honda S2000 CR, and 2007 Volkswagen Golf GTI W12-650--three additional bikes--1995 Aprilia RS 250, 1998 Aprilia RSV 1000 Tuono R, and 2007 Yamaha YZF-R1--and another mode: World Challenge Mode. World Challenge Mode contains 20 arcade events split into three chapters. The first chapter, Platinum Plus, is an Arcade chapter featuring extremely hard challenges. The second chapter, DLC Challenge, limits vehicle choice to those included in the Premium Challenge Pack, and the third chapter, Arcade Challenge, is similar to the Arcade events that shipped with the game.

    The downloadable content also adds 10 new achievements. Seven of these can be obtained with only the Free Challenge Pack, but three require you to purchase the Premium Challenge Pack in order to earn them.
