Peanut butter and jelly.
Cookies and milk.
Cars and bikes.
Finally, Project Gotham Racing 4 brings two great tastes together. In a first for the franchise, the upcoming Xbox 360 racer will allow players to use both cars and bikes in the same race. Bizarre Creations is promising the same level of visual fidelity in the bikes as in the cars -- looking at the new screenshots released today, we're also equally impressed by the racer character models.
A new "Stunt button" will allow players to perform a "crazy move" that will earn the player the series' trademark Kudos. While some may find this move to be controversial, Bizarre Creations notes that the game "won't force you to ride bikes if you don't want to." Regardless, they think players are willing to try something new: "we expect 99% of players to take the bikes out just as frequently as the cars!"

Somehow, someway, I have managed to never play a racing game w/ motorcycles. This'll be my first-- I'll definitely be enjoying it!

This game looks bad ass. PGR3 still has great visuals and this one only looks to be better. Can't wait for this one. Forza is fun for a simulator and designing cars, but I'm more of an arcade racer guy. I'm going to be broke with all the games coming out this fall on the 360.

Road Rash was good, and the second one was even better...it all went downhill when they tried giving it reaslistic graphics on underpowered game systems and tried to make it look hardcore punk...I hope PGR's bikes control nicely, I liked how MotoGP looked, but I couldn't stay on the bike more than 2 minutes at a time

Hmm. Now I'm more excited about PGR4 knowing that bikes are included this time. Coupled with the new weather effects it will definitely be interesting.

I can't wait for this game! I've loved the PGR series ever since it was called MSR on the Dreamcast, and the addition of bikes should make it even more fun (assuming the control is implemented well). PGR4 can't come soon enough!
