PGR4 adds dynamic weather and motorbikes to the Kudos formula, which radically changes how tight corners read. Backlit views on Macao or Saint Petersburg are rarely beautiful, and this is probably the absolute peak of Bizarre's Project Gotham Racing series.

Is Project Gotham Racing 4 still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2007 on Xbox 360, Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham Racing 4 refines the formula by adding motorbikes and above all dynamic weather that radically transforms the driving, from pouring rain to snow. The Kudos system, rewarding style and boldness at the wheel, keeps all its flavour, and the city selection stays superb. Managing grip in the rain adds a real tactical dimension. The shutdown of the online servers cuts the competitive side. But the stylish driving pleasure stays intact. For fans of elegant, demanding racing, this last PGR from the studio keeps a definite appeal today.
