Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

Project Gotham Racing 2 is one of the most successful titles on the original xbox. I'd even go as far as saying it's up their with Halo 2 challenging for the top spot as one of the best xbox games ever. It is a driving game and it is brilliant. Playability & Enjoyment This game is very enjoyable to play, there is plenty of different challenges to complete and it gets and harder and harder as you go up levels which makes the game have a very good ...
...cars at night. Sound Project Gotham Racing 2 is obviously all about cars and as far as sound goes this game is okay. The sound is mainly dominated the sound of the cars roaring round the track. Apart from the sound of cars you can listen to the radio or tracks stored on your xbox. The sound seems to be fairly good and it isn't anything to complain about, the cars sound good and the music seems to sound fairly clear so I have no problem with the ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

Project Gotham Racing 2 ************ Game History ************ Back in 2000, Metropolis Street Racer (MSR) launched into the market and was an instant success; I was one of the many proud Dreamcast owners who had bought this game. MSR had tried something new with its racing system. You would progress by just driving fast and beating the other racers to the finish line, but it was all about driving with style and still winning the race, so you ...
...real-life cities around the world! Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2, have kept the similar system. This on the whole, works really well! *********** Game Basics *********** As stated above, this game isn't the same as your bog standard racing game, you have to race of course, but you have to gain 'Kudos' in the race. Which means if you go around a corner side ways and manage to get it going straight again you will score Kudos, if you crash, then ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

...released in early 2004! The Project Gotham Racing series has to be one of the most popular X-BOX racing games available. With rivals like Playstation's Gran Turismo series, PGR has already a well established competitor. PGR needed to find a way to set itself apart from the competition and they certainly have done so. The game play is totally different from other racing games. You don't modify the cars at all, or earn money. PGR found another ways ...
...hooked! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Basic Outline. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PGR series stands out from the others because of its originality. Instead of modifying cars, the aim of the game is to complete all the challenges and earn the most points in each challenge. Each race has an optional difficulty level and a medal is awarded on completion. There are five different difficulty levels; Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Completing one series of races ...

...from the beginning. ---------------------------------------------- Project Gotham Racing -9 / 10 ---------------------------------------------- This was one of the release titles for the Xbox. It was designed to show off the graphics, the sound and the playability that Xbox could provide. It did a tremendous job. Not only was it a great racing game, it was an original racing game. The basic aim of the game was to get Kudos. These are points, ...
...boring like others. ---------------------------- Project Gotham 2 ---------------------------- This is not a sequel exactly. It is not a remake. It is almost a different game. What they've done is taken the best bits from PGR and improved on them. Then they've cut out the rubbish and completely changed the scoring system. It takes place in several different cities, unlike the 4 in the original. However, I don't get a feel for them as much as ...

...review of the Xbox classic Project Gotham Racing 2 (PGR2) that was released in Europe in November 2003. The game is a racing game so your ultimate goal will be to become the best driver in the world today…with style!

...that the Xbox 360 game Project Gotham Racing 3 will blow the graphics of this Xbox game into oblivion, but until the next generation is upon us this is a visual feat to take pleasure in. The cars themselves look beautiful, and the environments that you drive do look as realistic as one could expect from this generation of console (much better than the PlayStation 2 Gran Turismo efforts). One aspect of the game I like is when you are driving at night ...

...against other people In Project Gotham Racing there is not the huge variety of cars like in the Gran Turismo series but the cars are well chosen. Working from the bottom in the smaller slower cars really helps you get a feel of the game and how to tackle the tough courses. After going through these levels you will feel ready to race in the likes of Ferrari's, Mercedes and TVR's. Track Locations in the game are limited but the amount of tracks within ...
...big cities of the world. Moscow, Washington DC, Chicago, Sydney ect. Also the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife is included to give you a real challenge when racing those track specials. The graphics and sound on this remarkable game are excellent. The attention to detail Microsoft and Bizarre have included is breathtaking. Although the damage system could be better, overall detail is amazing. Even the houses and buildings surrounding the track are ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

Two years after Project Gothem Racing was released onto the Xbox comes the anticipated Project Gothem Racing 2. What makes both the game's really good is in my opinion gaining Kudos in lots of different ways which will be explained later. So to start off is the handling. This game is not like Burnout, you wont be travelling at ridiculous speeds steering madly all over the place, instead you use drifting and accurate steering to maneuver your way ...
...for handling and technique? Project Gothem Racing 2 has 6 modes to entertain you for hours upon hours. Firstly there is Kudos World Series, the main part of the game which has you gaming through 14 series which each contain lots of different objectives to be completed. The aim is to progress through each series trying to get the best medal in each event to earn Kudos. There are 5 different medals to earn, the Steel medal being the easiest option ...

Project Gotham Racing 2 is a great game for any age. It tests not only your speed, but also your skill and style rewarding you for how you drive more than how fast you drive. Because of this, you will find that going as fast as you can round the circuit, making terrible turns, will not help you! HOW you make the turn is quite often the crucial factor. There are 5 different race styles within single player mode: 1) One on one - You versus 1 other ...
...i think that what makes Project Gotham Racing 2 one of the best racing games on any console is its stunning graphics and the different ways to achieve success. You can go for pure speed as many will, i'm sure, or you can be slick and try your skill and daring at HOW you go fast. Style points - Kudos - are an original idea, and measure your performance in key skills as you storm through some of the most famous cities in the world wih some of the best ...

...seeking an XBOX racing game, Project Gotham 2 is definitely the one for you. Basically, Project Gotham is quite a fun and realistic racing game, with great graphics, sounds and cool cars. There are many more tracks and cars on XBOX Live service. In the game, you have to drive as wild and crazy as possible without losing control in order to accumulate Kudos points that allow you to purchase new cars to use. Drifting and drafting (following closely ...
...line through the corner and several other techniques will also allow you to rack up Kudos points. Cars are impressively detailed and accurately modeled and the cities you race in are very realistic. There are over 200 soundtracks and you can also copy your own songs from your preferred CD to the XBOX's hard drive and play the songs while you are racing. One thing unique is that each city has its own radio stations and that the DJs speak in their ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

Where should I begin? This is an all-time classic. One problem I cannot wait for the third one. I will start with the graphics. The cars look one hundred and ten percent. They include all the little details such as grilles etc. There is a major increase in graphics power between the first and second. There are different categories for cars ranging in power and style. Some of the cars include; Roadsters, Porsche Boxster. Sports utility, BMW X5. Compact ...
...Enzo, Pagini Zonda. The car choice is amazing. There is something for everyone. Whether you would like a fast, nippy car, or a slow, huge 4x4. Some of the cities include Chicago, Tokyo and my favourite Moscow. The details in all of the cities is amazing and world known landmarks can be seen constantly. All of the cars handle separately and have their own style. The sounds of the cars really do hit the spot. The point of the game is to race and have ...

Sorry about this - i'm a bit lost for words. Just don't know where to start. SO. MANY. GOOD. BITS. Ok. Going to write this quickly, just paused the game for a bit. This game could seriously last a lifetime. There's so much to do, you could just keep going through all the options for SO long. Let's start with the graphics. When Microsoft claimed this is the most powerful console ever they weren't lying. This is one of the most gorgeous looking games ...
...models, the textures - all have been just had a massive amount of attention given to 'em. You will not complain in the respect. The most important part of any game is its gameplay - there'd be no point in it looking gorgeous if it didn't play well. And this game, i'm sad to say, doesn't play well - it plays AMAZINGLY well. The handling is spot-on, the difficulty is just right (now you can see all the stages unlike PGR1) and there's plenty of options ...

With all the hype about xbox 360 going wrong, PS3 costing too much etc., etc., I am so glad that I still have my original xbox, and lots of games. Irecently played PGR2 again after a break of nearly a year, set up a new profile and now am completely hooked again. I used to have a pretty fast car but got rid of it mainly for cost and envioronmental reasons, so here is my chance to drive all the cars that i never will in real life. This is not just ...

The cars are also in 'types' such as 'classics', 'roadsters'. SUV's, supercars etc. The 2nd time around, i have realised that speed is not everything, skill and guile is just as important, as is planning. Soundtrack is naff so i ...

This is simply one of the greatest driving sims ever created for a console. In fact it is so good it is very close to beating Gran Turismo into second place. The choice of vehicle is broad and the detail of the cars attributes are very close to real life. Spend a few minutes (yes, it only takes a couple of minutes) to get used top the controls and you will soon be in driving heaven competing against the computer AI. The tracks are based on actual ...

If you get this wrong you are in all sorts of troublebecause you need to have earnt enough Kudos to be able to buy a different, more appropriate car. Trust me, invest in this piece of modern art and you will not be disappointed. ...

If you've ever played Gran Turismo 1,2 or 3 on the play station you will have tasted some of the wonder that is Gotham Racing 2. The Graphics are awesome with beautiful lighting effects and a huge amount of detail in every city. The street racing style of the game works really well without taking the serious racing edge out of the game. The car damage looks amazing too, although it does not affect the performance of the cars. There are over 100 ...
...to race on (from Moscow to Paris); these are unlocked by completing races on various difficulties settings. The game play is fantastic with a amazingly realistic feeling of speed, the AI is sometimes rather discourteous but this can be forgiven as the computer driven cars d really seem to race. Online this game will blow you away. Up to 8 players per game I have never experienced any lag problems (I am on a 152K connection by the way!). It's fantastic ...
