A Truly Awful Racing Game! Project Gotham Racing 3

Advantages: Lots of cars
Disadvantages: Bad gameplay, graphics, handling

...I bought this game because I saw it in Game station for about £5 and thought it was going to be really good. I had also heard of Project Gotham 4 and how it was a really good game and thought that this game was going to be a really fun and realistic racing game. How wrong I was! I have to admit I have not played this game much as I just hated it so much and have better games to play with so my review may not be completely accurate. Having played Gran Turismo on the PS2 (which is a fantastic game) I thought this would be similar. It is not. The gameplay is awful and the graphics in the game were terrible compared to other Xbox 360 games even if this was one of the first games released. I think the graphics are worse than Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 which was made before this game on a system with worse graphics! I suppose a good thing...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing 2 great game great price

Advantages: budget title, real life cities, nice car line up, online play
Disadvantages: sometimes repetitive challenges, damage system could be better

...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 would have to power slide your way around the streets of 3 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...

Project Gotham Racing 2

Advantages: Wide variety of cars to choose from
Disadvantages: Night racing mode a bit too dark

...If you are 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 to the car in front of you), picking the best 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...

Project Gotham Racing

Advantages: Great graphics, great tracks
Disadvantages: Crashing Sounds, Only 25 cars

...This is the most fun I've ever had in a racing game. I've played and owned many, but Project Gotham is still the most enjoyable game. I purchased it as a launch title, and I still play it about two hours a week. Read the following to find out why this is the best racing game ever. Let me start out by saying that Project Gotham Racing is an arcade game. If you're looking for a simulation game, then look elsewhere (I suggest Sega GT 2002)! The cars handle perfectly and are easy to pick up, but difficult to master. The game is structured around the ''Kudos'' system. You will receive points for pulling off ''nice slides, ''two wheels'', and many others. After pulling off a manoeuvre and receiving Kudos, they'll remain ''active'' for a few seconds. This allows for putting together combos and getting big scores! One wrong move or bumping...

Project Gotham Racing 4 review

Advantages: Good fun for a short time
Disadvantages: Quickly gets boring, lots of glitches, bikes are rubbish

...Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) improves on where Project Gotham Racing 3 left off. The gameplay is roughly the same, and it's very much an arcade game. It's very easy to powerslide round corners at 150mph etc - something which would be very difficult in real life! There are a wide range of tracks (although they're nearly all city based). There's only one proper race track, and that's the Nurburgring. There are also now bikes in PGR4, which are, bluntly, crap. They have good speed but the handling is rubbish, they can't turn at all! Cars are far better in terms of racing, although it's quite fun doing wheelies etc on the bikes. There are quite a few choices of cars, and they all do over 150mph. They range from a Ferrari F430 to a Koenigsegg CCX, and all are pretty fun. One thing I do find annoying is the number of glitches in...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing ideal for young gamers

Advantages: Addictive, challenging....fun
Disadvantages: questionable lastability

...Project Gotham Racing was another game available at release. I have mixed feelings about this game. It looks extremely good, with the street scenes and backgrounds being extremely detailed and relatively authentic. The range of cars available is not large, but they do look gorgeous whatever colour you decide they are going to be. Again, authenticity is the key and the perfectly rendered Boxster is very impressive, even down to the damage that you will undoubtedly sustain during your first attempts at racing. A range of race options, icluding among others, street racing, one on one, and full 6 car race, are available, so you can be as competitive as you like. Kudos points can be earned for spectacular handling, slides, cornering and skids, which if accumulated sufficiently during the race will unlock more powerful, harder to...

Project Gotham racing 2 review!

Advantages: Many levels, well-known cars, great graphics, 1-4 players
Disadvantages: So many levels that repetition can get tedious

...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 computer oponent. To win, you must simply beat the other racer 2) Street race - 4 to 8 cars, you have to place 3rd upwards to win, depending on difficulty setting 3) Cone challenge - You MUST drive with style in this race, for the objective is to reach a certain number of "Kudos", earned from good moves and combos of these moves 4) Overtake - 8 cars, you must overtake a certain number...

PROJECT GOTHAM RACING

Advantages: Good range of cars,addictive,graphics
Disadvantages: Takes a lot of Time

...I feel that this game as of now is by far the best game brought out by the x-box, gripping everyone who plays on it and it urges you to go on and on. The graphics of the cars and streets and tracks to race on are amazing and could be mistaken for reality. It's definitely value for money, as I payed £39.95. You can start the game on three different options, arcade race, quick race or kudos challenge which is the main aim of the game. On arcade race or quick race you have 4 races to complete then on to the next level. Kudos challenge is all about different challenges you have to complete in your car, such as street races, one on one races, overtake challenges and points challenges. You start with 3 cars, a Cooper Mini, SLK 230 and a MLK Spider. The more races and levels you complete the more cars you will receive. The more miles you...

Racing Goes Gotham

Advantages: Excellent Graphics and sound. Great fun in 2 Player
Disadvantages: Can be a bit limiting until more tracks are unlocked

...One of my favorite racing games of all time was MSR on the Dreamcast. Gran Turismo may have had more cars and better physics than all the other driving games, but MSR showed the world that driving can be FUN. Well, Microsoft have now found this out too, because Project Gotham is a sequel to the only driving game with Kudos style. Project Gotham is all about driving. Well, for a car game that sounds pretty obvious, but it's the way the game is designed to reward how you drive as well as how fast you can get from A to B. Most of the time you'll find yourself trying to impress the game with the style of your cornering and the fact that you don't actually scrape the walls every time you swing round a bend as well as trying to beat the clock or another car. When you powerslide or perform a really great looking move, you will earn Kudos...
