I picked up PGR 4 last night since I saw the price had come down, and so far I like it. It's a bit funny, since I really didn't much like the PGR 3, but this one feels better somehow (maybe just because I'm more into racing games right now?), and looks amazing. After playing a lot of Forza 2, the more colorful, dynamic environments here make for a visually pleasing world to race through - London, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo, Las Vegas and Quebec are all I've seen so far, and they all are really nice. It got me thinking though about my dream racing game - how I wish there was a HD racing game set in Paris where among other things, you could drive the same course as seen in Claude Lelouch's C'était un rendez-vous. I'd also like to see a multiplayer racing game equivalent to Two-Lane Blacktop - maybe a game where you could drive the old route 55 across America. Finally not a racing game, but something like a GTA V set in London, Paris and Berlin.
